Asus Eee Top all-in-one PC goes large
Ξ November 21st, 2008 | → | ∇ Gadgets |
The UK is lucky enough to get the first stock of the Asus Eee Top all-in-one PCs - but you might want to wait a little while before you buy.
We have featured the 15.6-inch Eee Top previously and on the face of it, the touchscreen PC looks a decent bit of kit, offering a budget PC-based alternative to the iMac with a 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1GB of memory, 160GB hard drive, Wi-Fi, 1.3MP webcam, stereo speakers, plenty of connectivity plus Windows XP for your OS. And if your hands are a little dirty, you can scoot around the desktop with the included keyboard and mouse rather than your greasy mitts.
There is one drawback - a 15.6-inch screen on a desktop doesn’t really cut it in 2008. But there is good news on that front. According to Asus CEO Jerry Shen, the Eee Top is being outsourced to Quanta Computer, which will be producing new 20-inch and 22-inch models for 2009. Plenty of them too - a whopping five million will be produced in the next couple of years, says Shen.
if you can’t wait for the big brother, the original Eee Top is available this month for around £399.
