Two new portable machines from ASUS - the clamshell and the 15

First, let 's look at the specifications of the 1008HA (it' s worth paying attention to the 1004DNdeviations from):

• Chipset: Intel 945GSE (+ ICH7M)
• Processor: Intel Atom N280
• Display: 10 ", 1024 × 600, LED backlight
• Hard disk: Seagate Momentus 5400.5 160 GB
• Memory: 1 GB DDR2-800 (Hynix HYMP112S64CP6-S6)
• Video accelerator: Intel GMA950
• Sound Card: High Definition Audio Controller (Realtek ALC269)
• Battery: built-in Li-Ion (2 cell?)
• Other: 1,3 megapixel webcam, Wi-Fi 802.11n network controller, Bluetooth (v2.1), built-in microphone and stereo speakers
• Weight: 1,45 kg
• Dimensions: 277 × 194 × 27,4 (mm)
• Color: white (available in five more colors)

Then quantify the measurements:

Where one or the other finishes in the first place - and where a tie is born. Let's move on, let's look at the memories first, then the HDDs:

1008HA and 1004DN

In terms of memory management, 1004DN is clearly the winner - DDR2-667 against 533 - but this is hard to spot with general use. The HDDs were interesting to test because while Seagate’s data transfer was twice as good as that of its rival, Toshiba beat 10 on its opponent in terms of access time.

Also immediately relevant is the fact that both netbooks loaded Windows XP in nearly approximately 1 minute, with Seashell only a few seconds behind the 1004DN.

In terms of consumption, the Seashell can withstand 13 watts at idle, while at 15-17 watts at full load, your appetite will "gain weight". During prolonged whistling, the temperature of the CPU went up from 89 ° C to 68 ° C, while the HDD only warmed up to 3 degrees - then our instrument showed 42 ° C.
