28.8.2007Asus Eee Box B203 gets Celeron power
Asus has slipped another new Eee box model into its lineup called the B203. While pricing is unknown at this point, the CPU Asus chose for the machine
could make it one of the least expensive models in the Eee Box line. The B203 runs on an Intel Celeron C220 processor that is priced lower than the
Intel Atom typically used in Eee Box machines. Despite the Celeron being cheaper than the Atom, it should provide somewhat higher performance.
Storage options include 80GB, 120GB, or 160GB hard drives. Other features include a quartet of USB ports, memory card reader, DVI out, Ethernet jack
and integrated WiFi. Asus says that the B203 only needs 20 watts of power.

16.12.2008Asus Eee Box - First Look
As a brand name, Eee is a phenomenon. Scarily reminiscent of a console counterpart with which it rhymes, the Nintendo Wii, Asus' new Eee Box range
has as much potential in the desktop sector. Of course I'm not saying Eee PCs of any variety will ever sell as much as Nintendo's vaunted
little console, but the brand-name is incredibly easy to remember and can be an acronym for a multitude of things.
Like its mobile
predecessors (the Asus Eee PC-901 or Eee PC-1000, to name but two) had a huge impact on notebooks, the Eee Box looks set to take the desktop market by
storm. Frankly, we wouldn't be surprised if it makes a larger splash than Apple's Mac Mini did in its day.

24.09.2008ASUS Eee Box Preview & Intel's Atom Benchmarked
The Eee Box is effectively a headless notebook with no keyboard/mouse. In fact, the new version of the Eee PC features the exact same hardware
configuration as the Eee Box - just in notebook form. Using notebook components in a śdesktopť PC is nothing new, Apple does it all the time with the
majority of its machines. The iMac uses a mobile CPU, as does the Apple TV, despite neither one being a notebook.
Stylistically,
ASUS did a tremendous job with the Eee Box. The system we have here is an early prototype, the final version will be available with a solid white or
black finish (the random pixel pattern on our system wont make it to production). The machine is extremely sleek measuring 17.7 cm x 22.1 cm x 2.7 cm
(6.97" x 8.7" x 1.06").
Without a keyboard or display to complain about and an even lower price tag ($269 or $299 depending on
configuration), we set off to see if the Eee Box would have more universal appeal than the Eee PC.

13.10.2008Asus Sells out of Eee Box in Taiwan Debut
Typhoon Fung Wong failed to spoil Asustek Computer's (Asus) plan to launch the mini-desktop version of its Eee PC in Taiwan on Wednesday. The
company sold out of the Eee Box due in part to a surprisingly low price. One thousand Eee Boxes were offered to Taiwanese consumers for NT$7,988
(US$262) through several retailers, including an e-store run by PChome Online. The e-tailer also offered the Eee Box with a 22-inch LCD monitor
for NT$15,988.
"It's an amazing price, a very economical price," said Davis Tsai, general manager of Microsoft Taiwan, during the
launch ceremony. Jerry Shen, CEO of Asustek, said his company expects to ship 100,000 to 200,000 Eee Boxes this year.

enclosure designed to be VESA-mounted to the back of your monitor, saving precious desk space and giving you a very inexpensive all-in-one of sorts.
Like virtually every other nettop in town, the MSI Wind Box will boast an Intel Atom N270 processor and either 1GB or 2GB of RAM under the hood.

Good news for fans of the Asus Eee PC! The desktop version of the Eee PC will be available in August, this summer. The price is unannounced, however
it is expected that Asus will announce the price very soon.
With the desktop, buyers will get a Windows XP Home machine running on
Intel's Atom N270 processor at 1.6GHz, 1GB of DDR2 RAM and an 80GB hard drive.
The usual connectivity options will be in place, along
with three USB ports and a VGA out for connecting a monitor - you'll need to supply the screen yourself, of course.
Asus has said that
it will add Linux to the mix later in the year, at which time we expect other hardware configurations to surface too.

Asustek to add more features to Atom-based 8.9-inch Eee PC
Asustek Computer will launch its Atom-based 8.9-inch Eee PC 901 in June and the company is planning to add more features to it in order to clearly

In addition to a Bluetooth module, Asustek will also add
metal alloy parts to the keyboard and hinge, while its touchpad will also have a metallic border.
Although the PC's
specification will remain the same as the Eee PC 900, the Eee PC 901 will replace the Asustek logo with an Eee logo at the bottom of the display and
on the top of the lid, while the Linux version of the Eee PC 901 will have more software applications added to it.

ASUS' CEO Discusses Intel Atom, HDDs For 8.9" Eee PC 900
Last week, official
details began to trickle out concerning
ASUS' new Eee PC 900 sub-notebook.
Today, ASUS’s CEO opened the floodgates when it comes to specifications for its
second generation
Eee PC notebook.
As previously reported, the new Eee PC 900 features a new 8.9”
1024x600 display in place of the
800x480 display found on the original
Eee PC
401. The larger screen with a higher resolution should help to
silence some of the more vocal critics who bemoaned the needs to constantly
scroll horizontally and vertically to read webpages.
Another change with the new Eee PC 900 comes in the area of
storage.
The original Eee PC first was made available with 4GB of storage. As
the months progressed, ASUS released 2GB
and 8GB
models to occupy lower and higher
price points respectively.
