Priced at just $429, the ASUS Eee PC 1101HA Seashell is another addition to its range of inexpensive Eee PC laptops. The netbook measures 11.3 inches wide, 7.7 inches deep and 0.9-1.4 inches wide. The netbook is fairly lightweight; weighing just 3 pounds (the AC adapter adds another 0.5 pound). The netbook is powered by 1.3GHz Intel Atom Z520 processor and comes equipped with 1GB of 533MHz DDR2 RAM. The graphics are handled by Mobile Intel GMA 500 graphics card, which is integrated in Intel US15W chipset. The 1101HA is equipped with 160GB, 5400 rpm hard drive and comes with preinstalled Windows XP operating system.
The overall design of the new Eee PC 1101HA is quite similar to its predecessor, the Eee PC 1005HA, which is a 10-inch netbook. However, the 1101HA is slightly bigger than its predecessor, which allows it to accommodate larger keyboard. The keys are flat with slightly wider base.
But the netbook doesn’t feature any touch sensitive controls, with the exception of a touch pad on/off switch. So, you will have to use the combination of Fn key and functions. Another distinguishing feature of the 1101HA is the inclusion of Asus’ Super Hybrid Engine power software, which enables the processor overclocking for improved performance. You can overclock the CPU performance from 5-30 percent.
The touch pad of 1101HA is also unique in the sense that it is provided with tiny raised bumps, which the users should like once they get used to. The advantage of textured touch pad is that it provide tactile feedback, when the fingers the moved over the surface of the touch-pad. However, there is only one bar that acts as both left and right mouse buttons. It would have been better to provide separate mouse buttons.
The 1101HA sports a 11.6-inch LED display, which has native resolution of 1366×768 pixels. This display resolution is found on the latest 11-inch Netbooks or other expensive 10-inch netbooks.
The ASUS Eee PC 1101HA offers comprehensive collection of ports and connectors that you will find on an average netbook in its category. The include VGA-out port for video, stereo speakers, headphone/microphone jacks for audio, 3 USB 2.0, SD card reader, Ethernet, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
The most attractive feature of Asus Eee PC 1101HA is its battery life. The 1101HA provides battery backup of 9 hours on video playback, which is excellent.
