More Eee Desktop Details

Ho!! A follow-up to my last post comes more details to the upcoming “Ebox,” the Eee Desktop. The biggest detail: choices. Three choices. Count them, 3.

The three different setups are:

• $269 1GB memory + 80GB HDD Linux edition
• $299 1GB memory + 80GB HDD XP edition
• $299 2GB memory + 160GB HDD Linux edition

I’d have to say that I’d prefer the top model, the 2gb +160 Linux model. Each also comes with built in wifi & some essentials, such as 2 front & back USB ports, card reader, etc. Also, with a 1.6ghz processor, this isnt a bad computer for this price. Mind you, this is without a monitor, keyboard, or mouse.

So, if you are looking for a cheap desktop, I’d have to say that this would be one of the cheapest ones out there, as well as a pretty powerful one.

Asus Eee…Desktop??

I have been excited since the Asus Eee laptop came out. The idea of a laptop the size of a hardcover book and a small price tags pretty much my dream. But, the downfalls: small display, small memory size, relatively small RAM, and a small processor. [7in screen, 900mhz, 4gb hdd, 512 ram].

Recently, Asus has released that they will be releasing a desktop version of their popular laptop, which they refer to as the Ebox. The desktop version will possess much more respectable stats. The most noted would have to be the 160gb HDD & the 2gb of RAM, both of which are standard on the base model. Also, the price is expected to be between $200-$300.

This would make desktops even cheaper than they already are. The only problem is the current trend of laptops. It seems that almost everyone prefers a laptop except for serious PC gamers. It’s going to be interesting to how well it sells.
