  • Small design may have some aesthetic appeal; Draft N wireless; pre-Windows ExpressGate lets you browse and do other basics seconds after turning on the power.
  • Terrible performance and features compared with standard budget desktops; cheap laptop will offer similar capability, space savings, and portability.

  • The EeeBox really does what it’s supposed to and very well. It’s a well priced machine that is compact, looks good and does general office work well, including email, MS Office and internet. You could watch some XVID movies and TV shows, but t...
