The latest in the Seashell line, the 1101HA, is showing promise as it shows off several of it’s strongest selling points. The primary point is the higher resolution; it sits at a more comfortable 1366 x 768 resolution.
The Intel GMA 500 graphics chipset is the beast driving the graphics, which is capable of processing high definition video if you have the right software. This is accompanied by the Intel Atom Z520 processor, clocked at 1.33Ghz. It also comes with 160GB hard drive storage, 1GB of RAM and boasts bluetooth 2.1 and Draft-N Wi-Fi capabilities.
Some fans might be wondering about the keyboard. The keyboard is supposedly decent, but does come with a small right shift key, for those who look out for such things.
Battery life is claimed at 8.5 hours between charges with the 4,440mAh battery.
With regards to structure, all ports are open and accessible, full sized VGA port and more is readily at your disposal. For all other intents and purposes, it is built in the same fashion as the 1008HA, as one might expect coming from the Seashell line of Eee PCs.
Overall, it seems like a decent netbook. If you want a slim netbook with all the standard features and a higher resolution than many others, give it a go. It shows a lot of promise.

Hard to believe that they would actually go back to the crappy keyboard on that one. I had to wait for almost 2 years before I bought my machine (1008HA) simply because of the keyboards…
They screwed up two things : the CPU and that damn shift key!
I wonder what their reason for using this CPU is. That is terrible. With every new netbook model they release, it seems that with every 2 foot forward, there’s also 2 foot back.
The choice of CPU and their new mirror reflective screen that doubles as a shaving mirror….. these are bad moves. 900HA and 1000HE are still their 2 best computers in my opinion.
