Like the Eee Top all-in-one PC but 15.6-inches is just too wee for your taste? Fine, you'll have the chance to grapple with 20- and 22-inchers, according to ASUS CEO Jerry Shen, sometime in the first half of 2009. Drop Windows 7 into these touchscreen monuments to mediocrity and we're in.
I wonder how good these would be for graphic design. I mean considering it is also a tablet and you can use a digitizer pen, would they be good for photoshop?
It would probably suck since its atom powered. Any graphics designer who values their time would be doing it on a real computer with an external tablet.
Haha, assume makes an ass out of u and me :P Windows is a little bloated, but come on, it's a pretty good operating system. Don't hate on it just because it's the most popular. That just makes you look pathetic. "Man, Windows is so conformist, me and all my emo Linux friends are all gonna go dress exactly the same so we can be different and stick it to the man, man."
@Major4Play so... you are assuming that they are making a full rewrite of the whole OS in this short a time? what are the chances of that considering how slow MS is to adapt?
@valicore I find the idea that Linux users are stereotyped as emo rather amusing..... seriously though there are very few personal linux desktops that are "the same"... Linux is about choice ... also what about BSD probably a little more secure than Linux that would be another choice?
Using linux is NOT even close to dressing the same... for crying out loud i use 4-5 different desktop environments on a regular basis... TWM (runs games fast on my crappy video card) xfce kde for the most part
I don't hate windows.... I hate what it has done to the OS market it has caused a stagnation (it killed BeOS and stifles Mac OS... killed AmigaOS which even preceded it as a graphical OS)
Put Ubuntu on it, and then I'm in. In fact, put vendor supported Ubuntu on it before Christmas, and I may be a couple of them as Christmas presents for people.

Wheres the Ctrl Alt Del for when windows crashes?
on the keyboard you mongoloid
So whats missing from the picture is the other hand carrying a keyboard like a suitcase too?
If you really want, you could mod the three buttons into the case.
I'm pretty sure it stores behind the monitor.
wow. 20" eee top vs 20" imac. fight.
iMac will fail the drug tests....
it'll be like the Russian from rocky 4
Go little Eeeocky
"Drop Windows 7 into these touchscreen monuments to mediocrity and we're in."
Its a freaking touch screen monitor. If you install Windows 7 on your computer with this monitor, you can do all the touching you want.
correct me if im wrong.
It's actually an atom-based all in one PC.
You are wrong, and iofthestorm has corrected you.
Video review of the 15,6" model including tour of the new UI

GUI is english, just the commentary is in Czech :)
That was a really good review I thought, extremely thorough and well done. Good job.

I agree, I think it would be nothing but frustrating to try and do any graphic design on an Atom device.
Well there goes my dreams of cheap photoshop supremacy.
I guess its back to the DRAWING board for me.
what do you mean by "we" are in?
windows 7 is a half baked remake of a half baked remake of a half baked remake and then some... get with the program use debian
So you've used Windows 7 then ? or made a judgment based on actual experience ? to err is to be human but to assume makes you an ass.
Windows just sucks. It's a known fact. I simply don't know why people even argue about it anymore.

Can I be on your christmas list?
Excuse me while I vomit after having 10 million Eee products shoved down my throat :P
22" version.. Windows 7... bluetooth, WIFI, gigabit ethernet... an SSD of some sort... I'm there.
I've given up on PC gaming...
Why (have you given up on PC gaming), just out of curiosity?
