The bright pink Asus EEE PC 1008P is a limited edition model from the collection by Karim Rashid, a prolific designer. It features two layers: a transparent hot pink upper layer and a metallic silver bottom layer that gives a hard-wearing finish. Its innovative veneer pampers users’ palms and fingertips for functionality and comfort while the specific hues, tints and color saturations attract fashionable tech leaders. Punchy, with a bold shock of pink, the Asus EEE PC 1008P communicates a strong optimistic presence.

The breathtaking design of this Asus pink laptop features a 10” edge-to-edge LED backlit display and an ergonomic keyboard. And, to provide clear video chatting, a noise-cancelling microphone and 1.3 megapixel webcam are built into the system. The expanded hard drive provides 320GB of storage capacity with an additional 500GB of WebStorage to securely store invaluable data or safeguard and share files, movies and music.

The integrated Bluetooth system gives the convenience and flexibility of syncing most commonly used Bluetooth devices. And, with simple system reinstallation, the built-in recovery program restores your computer to the initial factory settings by simply pressing F9 three times during start-up.

Featuring optimized energy-saving features and easy-to-use shortcuts, the Windows 7 operating system was revamped to give an enhanced user experience that makes everyday tasks simpler. And, the pink Asus EEE PC 1008P connects you to the wireless world with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. It also allows you to make Skype calls, surf the Internet, browse photos, play online games and participate in instant messaging with friends.

The new Windows 7, the most reliable and simplest Windows operating system to date, includes groundbreaking utilities like FastBoot, making it simple to create a home network and share all of your favorite photos, videos and music. Combining the latest in reliability and responsiveness with the familiarity and compatibility of Windows, this new operating system puts less between you and what you want to accomplish: less clicking, less waiting and less hassle connecting to networks. And, you can watch shows for free with Internet TV on Windows Media Center.

The beauty is matched only by its prowess in energy-efficiency. Featuring the new, power-saving Intel Atom N450 CPU to work in tandem with its hybrid engine energy management technology, the pink Asus EEE PC 1008P delivers up to six hours of battery life. The uninterrupted battery allows you to enjoy working hours-on-end at your favorite café or in your own home. It is also ultra-portable, measuring less than 1” thick and weighing less than 3 lbs.

The Asus Eee PC 1008P includes a warranty card with one year global warranty, six month battery warranty, 30 day Flawless Display Guarantee, free one-way standard shipping, 24/7 tech support, a power adapter, user manual and recovery DVD/support CD. The price tag, which is comparable to other, similar netbooks on the market, is relatively inexpensive particularly when the perks and advantages are taken into consideration.

Pros

• This netbook is the perfect size and weight to carry around (ie, small!) – it is only 1″ wide.
• It is quick – it turns on quickly, accesses the internet quickly and shuts down quickly.
• With twice as much space as most netbooks, there is plenty of room to store all your files, pictures etc.
• The aesthetics are wonderful and will turn heads. Even the ports are hidden under covers.
• The virtually full sized keyboard (92%) is easy to type on.
• You get Windows 7 Home Premium compared to the Starter Edition with most other netbooks (not in the UK).
• The screen is sharp and easy to read.

Cons

• The sound quality is adequate but would be better with external speakers.
• The touch pad is really sensitive so can get nudged when you’re typing. Buy a mini-mouse to get over this problem.
• As usual with netbooks, there is no disc drive, but Windows 7 seems to have every driver you will probably need already, so you don’t need any discs. You can always use an external disc drive if need be.
• The realistic life of the battery is about 3-4 hours depending on what you are doing and a spare/replacement battery is not easy to get hold of.

Conclusion

Customers are enthusiastic about the unique features included in this netbook and the fact that it’s bright pink in color with a distinctive veneer is an additional benefit for anyone who adores this shade. This netbook certainly has its own distinctive character and its size and portability make it easy to transport from place to place. The pink Asus EEE PC 1008P is a symbol of how innovative technology brings both excitement and convenience to the world.

With 5 hours of battery life, built-in webcam, microphone and wireless internet, the 1 GB Netpal operates for hours without needing to be plugged into a wall. It’s strong and durable, with an anti-spill keyboard to protect against inadvertent spills. And, the Disney Netpal ShockShield data protection shields against loss of data if the computer is subjected to brute force.

Including several dozen parental control options and a kid-friendly software suite, this fun and intuitive design has a web browser and email with extra filters. This ensures that parents can control online safety and content for their children, as well as select with whom their children correspond. Parents can also pull up data to determine where children spent time, and for how long, in the Disney Browser.

Kids can decorate their desktops with more than a dozen customizable Disney-inspired themes, including Disney Fairies, Cars, Disney Princesses, Club Penguin, Toy Story, Disney Classic Characters, WALL-E and Mickey Mouse. For older children, themes such as the popular Disney Channel series the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana, are also available. And, favorite character icons can be attached to email addresses for more interactive communication.

The easy-to-use interface on the Pink Disney Netpal Desktop is specifically tailored to kids, with an intuitive visual interface and instructions that make it easy for kids to operate the computer. As soon as it’s taken from its box, the Disney browser launches an abundance of kid-friendly Disney websites for kids to explore. Topping off the Netpal’s cool, kid-friendly features are an array of 15 different widgets, including a calculator, stopwatch and digital memo pad, which inserts “reminders” on the Disney Desktop.

Additional Disney-developed applications include Disney Mix for music and media management, and Disney Pix for photo customization and organization. The Disney Desktop “gadget tray” features a creative two dimensional menu displaying a Disney-themed browser and a large collection of applications. The Pink Disney Netpal also includes a driving game, number game, memory game and photo scrapbook designed to be kid-friendly, both in terms of durability and content permissions. Additional websites can be added for access with parental approval.

Pros

• You get 1 year’s warranty from Asus.
• Great peace of mind for parents with the awesome security features, ensuring that your kids will not be looking at anything they shouldn’t be on the internet. They can now happily surf away in their room without you worrying what they’re up to.
• You can set up days and times that your child can go online so you can use this as a reward for good behaviour.
• It can grow with your child as you can remove the security features when you want and let it run in regular mode.
• It is cute and attractive and easy for kids to use and helps to educate them early on how to use PCs.
• The 5 hour battery life is going to be more than adequate for your child’s attention span.
• The enhanced durability and Disney quality is great for kids, who let’s face it, aren’t the most careful of laptop users.
• The spill proof keyboard will no doubt be a lifesaver on more than one occasion.
• You can also easily upgrade your RAM to 2GB by adding a 2GB stick to your order when you buy the machine, although you probably won’t need it.
• The screen size is fine for watching movies on.
• The machine also comes in Magic Blue for the young boys in the family.

Cons

• The manual is a little on the incomplete side so it helps if you are computer savvy to set everything up.
• Make sure you switch to full screen mode (F11) so that the toolbar doesn’t fill the screen.
• An external mouse might be a worthwhile purchase as these are easier for kids to get the hang of.
• The fancy operating system takes a bit of getting used to for adults as it adds a few more steps to everything, but your kids will get hang of it just fine!
• Being a netbook there is no built in optical drive, which keeps the machine light weight but means you’ll need to buy an external one if you think there will be a need.

Conclusion

Perfect for beginners, the Netpal is just the right size and has enough activities to keep your child occupied. Kids want to be just like their friends and, in today’s world this means keeping up with the latest gadgets and technology. The Pink Disney Netpal is the perfect way to introduce your child to the internet without exposing them to the dangers that can lurk online.

If you have been perusing the range of pink laptops, you will have realised that you need to consider more than the color to ensure you spend your money wisely. It is no good just thinking about what’s on the outside, you need to ensure that what is on the inside suits your requirements. Features such as size, weight, power and memory all need considering, as well of course, as price. Quality need not be compromised for the sake of color as the best brands have all bought into being pretty in pink. Once you have found the best option for you, treat yourself to some of the many accessories available to create the perfect look, such as a pink laptop bag.

If you are considering buying a pink laptop computer as a gift, you can rest assured that such a thought will be welcomed not only by teenage girls, but also by college students and working women. Pink laptop computers are often sleek and stylish and the shades of pink vary so you can be sure to find just the right one to suit.

Do pink laptops cost more?

It is often said that pink laptops cost more than their boring black counterparts due to the exclusivity of their specially made exteriors. However, the research we have undertaken suggests that this is no longer true. The list prices for most models are the same for the black and colored models, however, your retailer may add a premium for color. This may be due to them being harder to get hold of. Whatever the reason, we have only seen premiums of around $10 added to the price of a pink laptop.

You can of course take your pink design that extra mile, by having the exterior of a standard laptop custom designed in the color and style of your choice, but it won’t be cheap!

Pink laptops are sometimes manufactured as part of a charitable giving scheme. Part of the sale price is donated to charities such as Breast Cancer Research. So not all consumers with pink laptops are making a fashion statement. Some are helping worthwhile causes too.

Advantages of laptops

Laptops, whatever their color, offer many conveniences over desktop varieties. They do not take up much space and tend not to have metres of wires to contend with. They are light, portable and can be powered by their battery, so can be used anywhere and everywhere.

Features to look out for

Whilst looking for a new pink laptop, you want to be sure that you are buying a machine that will function well for you for the foreseeable future. It is false economy to buy one of the cheap pink laptops if it will not do the job you want. So you need to try and find a machine that meets your requirements but is also being sold at the best price possible.

The range of laptops seems to grow exponentially every day. Narrowing down the choices to one that is suitable for you can be daunting. Once you have decided you want an ultraportable rather than a lightweight, medium sized or desktop replacement say, you then have to work out whether you want this memory or that memory, this speed, that number of USB ports and the list goes on.

Below we will look at the main features you can expect to have to make a decision on so you have a head start. Beware though that you will have to make some tradeoffs to find the perfect laptop for you. Set your laptop budget and your minimum requirements and expand on or compromise on everything else. Remember that how you are going to use the machine should drive all necessary decisions.

Portability

Laptops are most often bought for their portability and this can be defined by the machine’s size and weight. Typically women want something small enough to fit into their existing bags that is not going to weigh them down on their daily routine. The compromise you make when choosing one machine that is lighter than another is in its screen size and power. Now this is fine for every day usage of checking e-mails, browsing the internet and knocking up a document or spreadsheet. But if you need to use memory hungry software such as graphics packages, you will need to carefully check the specifications of a prospective machine before purchase.

Smaller laptops will be lighter to carry about, but will have smaller screens to work with and are less powerful in memory terms. Larger laptops will take up more space on your desk but will enable you to use more accessories and hardware.

Screen Size – the screens on the best laptops range from 14” to 15”, with the pink Sony VAIO VGN range being the largest, while the netbooks only offer 10”. Smaller screens mean smaller graphics, less words are visible on the screen and you will need to use scroll bars more often.

Weight – the best laptops weigh in at 6lbs to 7lbs, whereas the pink netbooks are much lighter at just under 3lbs. Carrying around a heavy laptop is no fun for anyone so if this is the plan for your new machine then you will probably have to compromise on screen size, power and accessory options. However, if your laptop is just going to stay on your office desk except for the occasional trip out, you can opt for one of the more sizeable versions.

Power

The power of any computer is measured by the speed of its processor which performs the basic tasks. The best pink laptops have a 2.2 GHz processor, whereas those in the netbooks are only 1.6 GHz.

As well as the processor speed, the power of a computer is also measured by its memory capacity. The Random Access Memory is the memory that is used by programs when the computer is on and the size of the Hard Drive determines how much information can be stored on the machine. The laptops have more RAM at 4GB compared to the 1GB on the netbooks. The hard drives are also smaller on the netbooks at only 160GB (other than the Toshiba NB205 which has 250GB) whereas those on the laptops vary between 250GB and 500GB.

Battery Life

Ideally you want a machine that can run from its battery pack for at least a few hours. Smaller models, such as netbooks, have improved battery life as they have less to power. They can last for between 6 and 11 hours depending on the model, whereas laptops hold a charge of only 4 hours.

Optical drives (CD-RW, DVD±R)

The best pink laptops all have some form of optical drive, such as a CD or DVD reader and burner ,whereas netbooks do not. This is not necessarily a problem as external devices can be purchased and plugged into a USB port on the odd occasion that they are necessary, although the additional cost of these should be borne in mind.

Price

A pink netbook is significantly cheaper than a standard laptop. The average price of our top picks is nearly $500 cheaper for a netbook compared to a laptop.

Pinkness

Not all pink laptops are pink all over. They typically have a pink outer casing, but whether the keyboard and surround are pink varies by model. The shade also varies meaning you can find baby pink, rose pink, posh pink or a hot pink laptop.

In Conclusion

You should now be ready to begin your pink laptop search. Why not start with our latest Pink Laptop Reviews?

Pink has long been a popular color among women, and as a result, just about every case on the market can be bought in its varying shades. No longer are pink laptop cases a rarity among their black counterparts but have become almost mainstream. Women, ranging from students to business women, prefer to carry laptops wrapped in their favorite color, pattern, and style.

If you need a bit more help on how to choose the right pink laptop case or bag for you as well as reading more about why you actually need one, please read our other article about what to look for in a pink laptop bag.

But let’s start with what is the difference between a pink laptop case, bag and sleeve?

Not to be confused with a laptop sleeve or bag, laptop cases are the “in between” of a sleeve and a bag, usually found in a business-like briefcase style. A laptop case is generally utilized by business people on-the-go who want to carry a few folders, documents and other small accessory items, but keep the overall weight of their case down. Usually made of leather, ballistic nylon or other cloth similar to that of a laptop bag, the main differences lie in the way that laptop cases are usually created to look more streamlined, stylish and professional like the briefcase replacement that they are, rather than the bags that they evolved from. Guaranteed to make traveling with a computer easier and more organized, the laptop case has become a staple among business people.

Now I know you’re probably dying to know about some knockout cases so here they are:

Why you need a pink laptop bag

Perhaps you cannot afford a new pink laptop computer so have decided to make your fashion statement with the bag. Or perhaps you already have a pink laptop and want to ensure it looks great when on the move as well as when in use. Pink laptop bags are intended to make it simple to travel with a computer. Without the proper gear, your laptop is left unprotected and subject to scratching, dust, and other damage. Laptops are not cheap and also hold a lot of important information in them, so you should really do all you can to protect your investments.

Pink laptop bag buying guide

You need to make sure you buy the right bag based on your needs and planned use, while considering price and style. Every person will have different needs and must buy the bag that’s best for them and their size of laptop.

There are a wide variety of bag types and styles available and the key to purchasing the right one for you is knowing what kind of amenities each design offers. Whether you want to project a professional demeanor or a more casual, laid-back look, there is a bag out there to suit your needs. Ranging from briefbags, top loading bags, backpacks, rolling top bags and even the very popular pink laptop messenger bag, most laptop bags are designed to fit either a standard 15 inch or 17 inch laptop.

So what are the main things to think about?

Size: measure the length, width and depth of your laptop so you know you are buying a bag that is not too small nor too big.

Padding: some form of cushioning is essential to protect your laptop from the occasional ding. Memory foam padding is the ultimate but if you assume the greater the padding, the greater the protection you won’t go far wrong.

Interior space and multiple pockets: consider what you are generally going to carry along with your laptop. Will you need power leads, an external mouse, stationery, CD-Rom’s etc? If so there should be enough space and internal pockets to accommodate these accessories as well as ideally a removable sleeve for your laptop itself. If you are just trying to protect your laptop, you may be better off with one of the many great pink laptop cases.

External pockets: these are useful to carry along your everyday items such as your cell phone that you may need quick access to.

Style: do you want a messenger style bag that you will carry over your shoulder or perhaps a backpack style to carry on your back or even a rolling style to wheel along beside you? Bags with multiple carrying options are best so you can carry them by hand or the way they were mainly designed.

Fastening: think about how the bag closes. Poppers can get knocked open or pop open if the bag is quite full. Strong zippers are ideal.

Material: consider how durable the material is of the bag you are interested in. It should at least be lightweight and waterproof.

Color: pink obviously, but which pink – there are various shades available. Which will match best with your laptop and your style?

New Pink Laptop Computers

Amazon is our favourite online retailer for brand new pink laptop computers. They have many products for you to choose from with various specifications and most have customer reviews to check you are buying the right machine.

Please click to see the current selection on Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com

Popular models such as the new pink Samsung N150 has lots of positive reviews so you know you are onto a good thing. You can even sort the listings by the average customer review to narrow down your search. The price of machines on Amazon is also usually hard to beat so you know you are getting a good deal if you don’t have time to shop around too much. Don’t forget to pick up your travel printer while you’re there so you can work and print on the move.

There are of course many other online stores selling pink computers should you have the time to browse more fully. But just make sure their reputation and delivery charges are as good as Amazon’s before you save a few dollars but end up with problems later.

You can also buy online from the websites of leading laptop manufacturers such as Sony, Toshiba and Samsung.

Refurbished Pink Laptop Computers

Buying refurbished can be a way to save money on a pink lap top computer purchase. Prices are typically 30-60% lower than the equivalent new price. When comparing new to refurbished prices make sure you look at any extras you are getting on the refurbished model in terms of optional extras and upgrades. It is not always easy to see the lower price if you look at the basic machine cost but when you add in all the extras the savings become apparent.

Refurbished machines are tested to ensure they are 100% operational but you should be aware that these machines are not new so there may be minor wear and tear on the body or screen. Most times, though, these machines are returns rather than truly second hand so there is no damage at all

Batteries are a potential problem area for refurbished machines as they are not tested for how long they will hold a charge. Sometimes they are not even sold with batteries due to this issue, although mains power can of course be used. Finally you will need to look at the warranty of anything you are buying as it is unlikely to be as good as that for a new machine.

is the best place to look for refurbished pink laptops as at the time of writing they have around 90 machines available. These are mostly Dell models as due to their mail order business model, they get a lot of returns for various reasons. As they mainly sell new machines, the returns all make their way back to market as refurbished. One thing to watch for on Ebay is shipping costs. You can find refurbished items on Amazon as you can filter by ‘Condition’ however they have very few choices available.

Even with the addition of the odd advanced application, there is no noticeable difference in performance. You can also easily upgrade your RAM to 2GB by adding a 2GB stick to your order when you buy the machine. It costs about $30 and to install it you just need to unscrew the back plate and exchange it with the factory version.
• The hard drive is again big enough for your applications, music and general storage. If you have excessive requirements you could use an SD card or external hard drive.
• The screen resolution is good and the display is bright – bright enough that you may need to turn it down a bit.
• The keyboard is one of the best available on netbooks.  At 93% of full-size it is large, solid and comfortable to use, even for touch typists. The keys are sturdy and responsive.
• It is solidly built and components such as the USB ports have a quality feel.
• The WiFi card provides excellent reception.
• There is an impressive boot time of only 90 seconds to become WiFi ready or 25 seconds from hibernation.
• There are helpful keyboard shortcuts for things like standby, battery remaining, backlight off and more.

Cons

• This is a netbook, so at only 10.1″ the screen is small if you are not used to this type of machine. That being said, you only need to scroll vertically and you add a bit more screen real estate by auto-hiding your taskbar.
• The touch pad is quite short for vertical movements but control panel adjustments to pointer speed can help. Alternatively you can use it with a wireless mouse if you prefer.
• The speakers on this pink Samsung are very quiet. It is difficult to hear much out of them even if they are on full volume. The only way to listen to anything properly is by using headphones.
• Being a netbook there is no optical drive built into the machine. This is good in that it does not weigh down the machine but bad if you need such a drive for something, say to watch a movie or to install software. The best option is to buy an external drive that you can use as and when necessary but that you do not need to carry around all the time.

Recommended accessories

• 2GB Memory stick
• External mouse
• External portable burner

Conclusion

Pink netbooks are excellent options if you are looking for a cheap pink laptop computer as they are affordable and portable whilst being more than capable of living up to day to day use.

A skin for a laptop is a special vinyl covering that you stick onto the outer casing. Skins are also known as stickers and decals. When you are carrying it around or it is open and you are working on it, the plain or patterned pink design will be shown off to the world. Pink laptop skins are a great way to add a touch of finesse to an otherwise dull piece of equipment and at around $10-30 are much cheaper than buying a new machine.

You may find that the laptop you want with the specifications you need does not come in pink, so these pink laptop computer stickers offer an ideal compromise. Just buy the black or silver laptop that meets your working requirements and spruce it up with the pink skin of your choice.

The variety of pink skins for laptops is growing by the day. You can choose from a plain skin or one of the designs such as flowers, butterflies and checkers. There are also abstract images and even a pink zebra laptop skin. Whatever you choose you are showing that you are an individual and that you and your laptop have a unique identity.

As well as looking good, a pink laptop skin will protect your computer from general wear and tear, scratches and abrasions that can happen on your travels as well as finger prints on a shiny finish. They are easy to place on the shell with their adhesive backing and just as easy to take off. They are non permanent so you just peel them off if you fancy a new one and you will not be left with any sticky residue. This laptop wear is re-usable so you can buy a few skins and alternate between them. Just stick the skin back on its liner sheet until you are ready to use it again. And do not worry about them adding any weight to your machine as they are paper thin.

Pink is the color of choice for women buying laptops at the moment, but fashions can change overnight. At least with a skin, you can remove it and leave the factory color exposed or buy a new skin whenever you want.

When you buy one make sure that the size will fit your machine. Most skins will fit laptops of between 12-17 inches and they can be trimmed to fit exactly. If you think you might need to trim yours, buy a design where the pattern is in the middle. Some, but not all, include extra pieces for the palm rest area or the touch pads. It is a good idea to read reviews before purchase as some that are lower quality allow the black background to show through or start curling up at the edges after a while. Higher quality options though, such as those by Unique Skins, have been designed with advanced features such as air release channels to help keep bubbles away on application, pressure activation, slideability and repositionability.

A pink laptop skin is a must have for anyone without a pink laptop computer. They are cheap and easy to fit and remove, make you stand out from the crowd and offer your laptop some protection. Go on treat yourself to one today.
