ASUS sort of got official with its Eee Top ET2002T back at Computex in June, but it's looks like things are now a whole lot more real in France, where Blogee.net has gotten the pics and the complete specs of the all-in-one desktop. In addition to that all-important (and already known) Ion chipset, this one comes packing a 20-inch 1,600 x 900 display, an Atom 330 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, a DVD burner, and even an HDMI input in case you want to simply use it as a display, among some other fairly standard specs (detailed at the link below). Still no word on an official price or release over here, unfortunately, but it'll apparently be available in Europe in "several weeks" and run a not so low €598, or about $845.
touchscreen or no?
its got one :)
330, Ion, HDMI.
This is what an all-in-one nettop was always meant to be. PERFECT.
Drop that price, motherfu&#@rs.
If you mean the US Dollar price, it will definitely be less. The exchange rate amounts to diddly.
Holy crap that's 'spensive, though it should be much less over here. Make one with a 23-25" 1920x1080 screen and you've got something really hot for ~$600-$800 and you've got something hot.
damn it, serves me right for not double-checking my post. Strike that first "and you've got something really hot"
Kinda funny - first people b*tch about Ion all the time, and when they finally get it, they b*tch about the price.
Is it really that hard to see why manufacturers aren't too keen on using Ion in their extremely price-sensitive low-end netbooks/-tops?
well there's not really any reason it should be that much. It's not a very high-end platform. If it was 23 or 24 in. and full HD resolution then I don't think people would be complaining nearly as much.
Blogee.net is a Porn site !
Thankfully the linked page is blogeeE.net then...cause really, who'd wanna see porn?
those of us at work..
Please, a little bit of respect for this website : isn't BLOGEE.NET but BLOGEEE.NET (eee as eee-pc)
a good deal if it can play cod4 and if the dvd is a blu-ray(?).
Show me a 23-25" 1920x1080 touchscreen for sale for for $600 dollar range?
Finally an All-In-One with an HDMI input. I was waiting for this one feature.
Definitely about time all-in-ones allowed you to make use of the screen for something else without a tuner (meaning image degradation and having to have the PC on also)
Actually in that video there is also the EEE Top 2203 which seemingly has the better hardware:
