Laptop in Pink – notebooks an netbooks dressed in pink

Asus offers some of the best pink notebooks

I’m sure you all have heard about Asus, one of the biggest manufacturers of laptops and desktop components in the entire world. Their products are known for the good looks, performances and reliability, while having affordable prices for the everyday user.

In fact, they become even more notorious when they started the mini-laptop computers story, with their first EEE PCs. So no wonder they still offer some of the best and cheapest such small laptops, and most of their models are also available in pink.

Thus, in this post I’m going to tell you what are the best pink Asus laptops available right now and also explain each model’s advantages and weakness. Plus, if you’re interested in any of these devices, I’ll show you where can you get the best prices for them, online.

Asus laptops under $300

There aren’t many options here, but they do offer amazing price/features rapport and that’s why they quickly became very popular in US and Europe.

First we have the Asus EEE PC 1001P-M, which is at the moment my personal best pick. It’s a pink netbook, comes with a 10 inch display and only weighs 2.7 pounds, but can still offer great performances and autonomy. In fact, it packs the latest in mini laptops technology, the Intel Pinetrail platform, with 1 GB of RAM, 160 GB hard-drive, good connectivity options and Windows 7 OS. As for battery life, this one is up to 11 hours, thus making it really portable.

And it only costs $290 (with a small discount), which is just amazing . Plus, if you want to read a more detailed review of this version, check out this Asus EEE PC 1001P review from here.

And there’s also the Disney Netpal Asus computer, a mini laptop designed by Asus in collaboration with Disney and meant for kids. Comes with a 8.9 inch display and only weighs 2.2 pounds. Plus, there’s a special software package installed with many types of applications for kids and parental control options, thus making this Disney Netpal a perfect laptop for your young girl (more on pink laptops for kids in this post).

And the best part is that it now only cost $299, with a $50 rebate over the list price. Check the link for more details, pictures, reviews and the option to buy.

Asus pink notebooks under $400

For the moment, there aren’t many good pink Asus portable computers in the $300-$400 price range. But expect some solid ground shakers to be launched in the near future, as most of their latest series are not yet available in pink.

For now, we do have a very interesting netbook though, the 10 inch Asus EEE PC 1008HA, part of their fashion series.

It is one of the slimmest and lightest mini laptops in the 10 inch class, with a 1 inch thick body and only weighing 2.4 pounds. And it looks amazing in the stylish light pink and glossy finishing. Although that glossy surface is kind of pretentious and you should protect it properly with the right accessories to keep it as new for a longer time.

Inside you get good hardware that will be able to run any type of applications you might want, besides games and HD movies (small computers like this one just aren’t powerful enough for such demands). But you do get a very good keyboard and touchpad, a webcam and top-notch connectivity options (Wi+Fi and Bluetooth). Unfortunately, there’s one downside for the 1008HA: because they had to make it that slim, only a 3 Cell battery could be included, which is only enough for around 5-6 hours of life.

The EEE PC 1008HA has a list price of $459, but with the latest discounts, you can get it online in pink for only $387. Check out this link for more info, pictures, reviews and the option to buy.

Pink Asus 1008HA - stylish, slim and with a good price - just amazing

Asus laptop above $400

As for expensive pink laptops, Asus doesn’t actually have many of these. And I doubt they plan to make either, their expensive devices are meant for gaming and heavy multimedia usage and don’t come in pink (there are some available in white though, which is also a nice color for a girl’s laptop).

Anyway, they do have something interesting in pink in this class, another 10 incher, the EEE PC 1008P, a special edition designer netbook signed by Karim Rashid.

Comes with a special tiled matte case in a vivid pink finish and offers quite some goodies over the previous Asus laptops in this post: a better chiclet keyboard with independent keys and a wider matte touch-pad, the PineTrail platform inside with 2 GB of memory and 250 GB storage space, a better webcam and 2 batteries in the pack, that together make to up to 13 hours of life.

Plus, you get the unique look and the case comes with Karim Rashid’s signature on it (on the right side of the palm rest).

However, designer laptops are expensive and this one has a price list of $499. But you can get it from here with a small discount. Also, by clicking the link you will be able to see more pictures and review from previous owners.
