Asus Eee Top – Budget All-In-One Computer

What we like most about the Eee Top is that it’s small enough and light enough to move from room to room, but with an even smaller footprint than a laptop. It achieves that space-savings because the touch screen lets you go without a keyboard entirely. We can imagine someone placing the Eee Top on a counter top or a shelf without it completely dominating the space.

As it’s powered by a 1.6GHz Atom processor, the Eee Top is not a serious computer for work or play, even for a budget PC. It will get on the Web, play music, and perform all the basic tasks you might expect it to, but even opening a browser can feel slow. We also don’t find Asus’ custom touch software as polished as that of HP’s TouchSmart line. Then again, this system will only cost $599 when it hits the U.S. retail market on March 9th. TouchSmarts start at $1050.
