The new Eee PC Seashell 1008P-KR is the first ASUS Eee PC based on the Pine Trail platform from Intel. The suffix of the new netbook comes from its designer name: Karim Rashid. The Pine Trail platform allows the usage of the 1.8GHz Atom N450 processor. The new 10.1-inch netbook’s battery is removable; it simply slides out of its side. Other specifications are almost identical to the Eee PC 1008HA: 1024×600 screen resolution, 1GB RAM and a 160GB HDD.

Some other features of the netbook include: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth support, 1.3-megapixel camera. Asus’s new netbook comes with a preinstalled OS version – Windows 7 Starter. Prices are yet to be known, but it is already known that it will ship somewhere in February. The netbook will be available in Hot Pink or Gold Brown colours.
