Since this will likely be used for media consumption, it's got a processor that is just powerful enough to push out the content while still being energy efficient and cool. But, it's going to have to have a large hard drive with large (movie) files to transfer around, and that's where you'll want the speed. It's trivial to sit and wait for a 10MB music file, but the transfer times can make a big difference with a 600MB to 4.5GB movie file.

That's my take on it. ]]>Mar 5th 2010 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/Mar 5th 2010 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/Like this idea; desktop that's uber light and portable, yet has some nice multimedia abilities=great setup. ]]>Mar 5th 2010 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/Mar 5th 2010 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/Mar 5th 2010 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/Mar 5th 2010 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/Mar 5th 2010 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/Mar 5th 2010 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/asus-eeebox-eb1501u-packs-ion-and-usb-3-0-need-we-say-more/

Why are pc makers putting in cheaper slower parts??

The idea of a "nettop" is slick marketing to get you to pay high prices for cheap underpowered hardware.
