Asus All-In-One Eee Top Touches Down In Taiwan

Asus' long awaited all-in-one touchscreen PC, the Eee Top, is now out in the wild... at least in Taiwan. The 15.6-inch display “nettop” runs Windows XP and holds an Intel Atom N270 processor with 1GB of memory and a 160GB hard disk drive within its chassis. It also comes with a 1.3MP webcam, two integrated 4W speakers and a nifty little dimmable LED keyboard light.

The Eee Top will definitely not please gamers, Photoshop pros or their ilk, but the simplified custom interface (made for touching!) and clean design make it a decent option for more casual, social PC users. As for pricing, the desktop is going for about $565 in Taiwan, but I'm willing to bet it'll be closer to the $400 to $500 price point when it comes to the U.S. [Engadget Chinese]

Asus Eee Top Fingers-On Shows Good All-In-One Touch PC

Here's a fingers-on the new Asus Eee Top, the Windows-baseed all-in-one PC that will ship later this year for $400. The 15-inch display nettop has a special Windows simplified interface that allows for easy touch operation, with big icons that you can click with your big sausage fingers. It also has Express Gate, the Asus version of DeviceVM's Splashtop technology, which is a clever way for instant on. And while it's not an HP Touchsmart, it's inexpensive and pretty enough to keep a couple around the house.

The Express Mode allows the 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive machine to instantly boot up showing only Firefox, Adobe Flash, Skype, and a photo viewer, so users can be browsing, chatting or calling within seconds of booting up. I want a waterproof bathroom version. [EeePC News and Desktop Linux]
