The point is... they've made something that will easily infiltrate the mainstream. While it may not spark the interests of people like us... it's a great product for grandparents living on a fixed-income.

It's simple, small, and light-weight. Their aren't a mess of cables to confuse the less tech-savy. It's got a built in webcam (which still isn't industry standard in desktops), so a grandpa can Skype with his children across the States, versus the occasional voice-based call.

I think this product is ace if they can deliver it 600-700 dollars... even better if they can hit 400-500 (which considering the components, I don't see that being far-fetched).]]>Nov 2nd 2008 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/No ]]>Nov 2nd 2008 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/Nov 2nd 2008 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/Nov 2nd 2008 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/

These machines are way too underpowered to be good enough for a desktop. Why not drop a proper celeron (dual core) processor in there? It is almost like cheating the buyers, most of whom will not know that could have done better.

I don't think the price point will be good enough.

Discounting the processor, the other hardware specs aren't too bad.]]>Nov 2nd 2008 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/
I have a media center/browsing pc built using Gigabyte ITX board with Atom onboard and it has Vista on with 2Gb of ram and it chews through everything i throw at it apart from games, but a machine like this isnt built for games in mind.

Not to mention it uses a fraction of my Quad Core, SLI PC that i now only use for games.]]>Nov 2nd 2008 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/Nov 2nd 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/Nov 2nd 2008 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/Nov 2nd 2008 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/asus-finally-details-et1602-et1603-eee-top-all-in-one-pcs/
