ASUS Eee Top ET1602 Touchscreen Nettop Review

, Dec 17th 2008 Discuss [20]

At first glance, ASUS’ Eee Top ET1602 is the epitome of a niche product.  Packing nettop-spec hardware in an all-in-one form factor, with a touchscreen and general design that seem to have stopped by HP’s TouchSmart and the Apple iMac along the way, it’s certainly tough to pin down.  Innovative new segment or just another Eee oddity: SlashGear set to finding out.

, Dec 4th 2008 Discuss [2]

Dinky little Atom-powered nettops aren't anything new these days, but the majority still creak along with Intel's 1.6GHz single-core N270 processor.  Even ASUS' recently-announced Eee Box B204 and B206 pack the single-core CPU in along with their HD pretensions.  Thankfully Japanese retailer Clevery has seen sense and is offering a dual-core Atom 330 system, the ST8 Mini, at a reasonable price.
