ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1008HA-PU17-WT Sales Prices Reviewed by Sean P. K. Evans (Canada)

I want to buy an Asus Eee PC 1008HA Seashell-PU17 (PU17-1008HA) netbook, but Asus will first increase 1008HA-PU17 functionality and usability, as observed in this study.

The battery is permanently embedded in the 1008HA-PU17, I was once again that this battery can in no case be removed by the end user. In other words, I have absolutely no way to exchange a second, replacement battery fully charged, if the built-in cell death. This is a deal breaker for me is a bug, be sure the battery replaced because it is rare that batteries crap out. I would not treat my animal 1008HA-PU17 as a BIC disposable lighters whenever the battery craps out. Also, if I spent the juice on the way I want to be able to swap in a new battery charge. Actual battery life is not 6 hours as advertised, but closer to 3.5 hours. If I turned off Wi-Fi, gray, and the LCD has not done much, I have to PU17-1008HAtake from 4 to 4.5 hours. To increase the functionality, I would like ASUS to replace the battery and upgrade to a 6-cell lithium ion 63 Wh, that device is in the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-PU1X and ends with an impressive 10.5 hours.

There is poor accessibility of the components of the 1008HA, PU17. The standard covers the bottom of the netbook for the realization of the components are non-existent. I would cover the entire bottom of the keyboard to remove the removable parts. This was not friendly and I would lose my warranty that the law of 24 months when I opened the sealed compartments. To improve the functionality I want a better accessibility to all components.

The 1008HA-PU17 is a portable device, the glossy screen does not work properly in certain types of lighting, for example, severely hamper my opinion in direct sunlight or indirect sunlight on trains. Moreover, the maximum screen brightness using the battery is automatically reduced. The brightness should be user driven and not a default in the 1008HA-PU17. It would be useful, 1024×768 screen resolution in display settings, some programs require a minimal state, which have parts of MS Works. The average maximum 171:1 contrast ratio is low and soft colors make for a disappointing picture. The 1008HA-PU17 uses slower Intel GMA 950 graphics chipset, which is a major setback, such as 720p and 1080p H.264 files freeze in place and refuse to play again on a regular basis. To increase the functionality, I want a glossy screen, manual control over the brightness of the screen, a graphics display with a higher contrast and brighter colors and the GMA 950 chipset is a chipset that can better handle the 1080p files to be replaced.

The touchpad button is too small, under-react and dimples. To increase the functionality, I want to replace the touchpad whole with a full-blown multi-touch pad.

I understand thatNetbook exchange currently in the form of congenital DVD / CD player. However, this is a major attraction for those who do not have to work harder to drive. A band-aid was a foreigner to buy a DVD / CD. To access the administration look ASUS in this range and are indigenous to add a DVD / CD Home netbooks. It could also trade equipment for access to the ASUS sales.

There are only two USB ports, USB jurisdiction adopted a third of the 1008HA-PU17 should be added. Flaps are artificial, so it sits directly on the slab doors that can not be added to the folder USB devices like memory card reader, SanDisk, agree to use the child to complete the USB cable. There is no DisplayPort, HDMI, and ExpressCard slot. Video is in itself a success VGA plug, but it is not your typical connector, the adjustment to adapt to the berth on a netbook this thin, so I would have agreed to use their own success, which is the rollover to VGA, which is inconvenient. To increasefunction of ASE, I solved all these problems port.

The case has a polished shell surface that is well polished, but even more careful management is prone to fingerprint marks and small, leading to a grease spot-sensitive look unflattering. Moreover, in the calculation of the reflections of personal preference. To increase the functionality, I want the high-gloss case is replaced by a matte finish as the most functional OCZ NeutrinoNetbook.

The speakers focus on middle and imperceptibly low heights recently, with noise characteristics that are extremely minimal. ASUS users should not expect to have to use earplugs, a good sound. To increase the functionality, I want a speaker upgrade.

Regarding the internal left / right rocker button beneath the touchpad, I want to increase the functionality split in half to two buttons that are notsolid as the 1000 series Eee PC.

1008HA-PU17 is still low-acuity ventilator that causes 1008HA-PU17 warm after a few hours and will be used to run the afflictive sits at his feet. To access the functions, I added the ability to accumulate a fan 1008HA-PU17 constant air conditioning, in an amount not as abundant as hours of work.

There are many parts account 1008HA-PU17. Under bright field, take a netbook, the ability of brick alternating current, the capacity of the cable, several brochures, CDs and bully poor better watch his sleeve. Those who take supplements with pockets or difficult cases will agree with a boutique.

After the signing of this analysis is probably my absorption that ASUS has just found its latest incarnation alleged netbook "Asus Eee PC 1201N" and "Asus Eee PC1005PE" that bold, some but not all the problems found in this review.
