  • Small size, Attractive design, Low sound, Low power consumption, Overclockable, if only by a tiny amount
  • Not enough grunt for video approaching 720p or above, No optical drive, Splashtop limited to 1440x1050
  • Weve got mixed feelings about the Eee Box, and nettops in general. You might as well buy a netbook and gain the bonus of portability. ...

  • Very small, quiet, wont consume too much power
  • No optical drive, problematic wireless networking drivers under Windows XP
  • Its low power consumption, Gigabit Ethernet and small footprint mean its best use is probably as a PC for an Internet cafe. Home users might also want to consider it as a second PC for basic tasks, but office users might want to shy away from it due t...

  • Small design may have some aesthetic appeal Integrated DraftN WiFi PreWindows ExpressGate OS lets you browse and do other basics seconds after turning on the power
  • Terrible performance and features compared with standard budget desktops, A cheap notebook will offer similar capability, space savings and portability
  • It seems the appeal of the Eee PC doesnt carry over to the Eee Box.

  • A ludicrously low price! It's tiny!
  • No optical drive. No dedicated GPU. Average specs.
  • There's nothing groundbreaking about the Asus Eee Box... apart from that amazing price! Welcome to bargain city!...

  • Abstract:  This is a tiny PC (size wise) of course if you have not got all the bits that connect then the price it costs will increase a good deal. All you get is the PC and a digital to analogue converter, so you need to find keyboard, mouse monitor/panel, CD/DV...

  • Abstract:  Asuss tiny Eee Box B202 is one of the cheapest and most energy-efficient PCs around, as well as one of the smallest and lightest. Essentially, its a desktop version of the Eee PC netbooks, with the same 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor. The Box ta...

  • Just as Asus re-invented the laptop, it has introduced a new take on the mini PC. Intels Atom is no powerhouse, but it provides sufficient horsepower for all but the most demanding of computing tasks. Its fine for internet, media playback and office...

  • First things first, this costs just £200! That’s a bargain in anyone’s book, especially as it runs pretty fast for such a basic machine. That’s largely down to a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor. Rounding up the rest of the spec, you get...
  • So why the low price? Well, there's no mouse, keyboard or monitor for a start. The lack of optical drive could also prove a problem for some people. Graphics too, aren’t much cop, mainly because there’s no dedicated GPU inside. And as for...
  • Not quite as ground-breaking as Asus's Eee PC notebook, but the B202 is more than capable of performing basic PC tasks, and all for a double ton. Nice. Asus Eee Box is tagged with Asus and desktop. Select a tag (Asus, for example) to find everything o...
