Asus Eee Box
Recently, we mentioned the Eee Box as an attempt by Asus to reach into the lucrative super small form factor market.
The device is set to go on sale around early July with a starting price of about £167.
The Eee Box certainly is small. The dimensions are: 8.5-inches high, 1-inch wide, and 7-inches deep.
The device can mounted on a stand in an upright positions. But if you’re limited on space, don’t worry. The Eee Box can also be laid flat which makes it ideal for slotting into a small shelf on your desk.
The Asus Eee Box is crammed full of goodies which should make this a desirable desktop replacement.
Here’s the official specifications:
- OS Linux System/ Hardware Compatible with Windows XP
- Intel 1.6 Ghz Atom CPU
- Memory: 1 GB / 2 GB DDR2
- Hard drive: 80GB / 160GB platter
- Intel GMA 950 Integrated graphics
- 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN, 802.11n WLAN, Bluetooth optional
- SD, SDHC, Mini SD, (Micro SD through adapter) ; MMC, MMC plus, MMC4.x, RS MMC, RSMMC4.x (MMC mobile through adapter);MS,MS PRO
A variey of configurations will be available to users but details specific to the UK haven’t officially been announced yet.
Looking at the specfications, the Eee Book looks pretty impressive.
Based on the pricing and fetures it looks like Asus have fixed their sights on the likes of the Apple Mac mini and Shuttle KPC K-4500. I’m not sure how the market will react to the launch of another SSFF PC but it will almost certainly help to keep prices down, which is always good.
More news as it comes.
