		<description><![CDATA[The Asus 1008HA Eee PC netbook is one of the sleekest netbooks on the market.  I first previewed the Asus 1008HA &#8220;clamshell&#8221; in June, and I called it an inexpensive miniature MacBook Air.  The 1008HA comes with your slightly enhanced Intel Atom N280 processor, Intel GMA950 chipset, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB 2.5&#8243; hard drive, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just got my hands on an Asus Eee PC 1008HA clamshell yesterday afternoon.  So far, this thing is very much impressing me with its form factor.  The 1008HA looks like a miniature MacBook Air at 1.1 kilogram (2.4 pounds) and no more than 1 inch thick.  There are no breaks in the contour of the chassis [...]]]></description>

I discussed the pros and cons of this product here, but I think this price makes this the best NetBook deal on the market. &#160;The Mini 12 has a more energy efficient&#160;Poulsbo graphics chipset&#160;which also has [...]]]></description>
