ASUS's 20-inch ET2010 EeeTop models with Ion power detailed

We've been hearing about the ET2010 model since CES, then got another glimpse at CeBIT a few weeks ago, and now the all-in-one machine is making its international debut -- and ASUS has more than one to share with us. The five models range from the ET2010AG, with an AMD Athlon II processor, up to the ET2010PNT, with an Atom D510. All models have a 20-inch, 1600 x 900 displays, but only two of them sport multitouch. Storage ranges from 160GB to 500GB, 1 or 2GB of RAM is available, and graphics options include an integrated Intel GMA chipset, ATI's Radeon HD 5470, or, most interestingly, Ion 2 graphics in the two Atom-powered options. All offer a DVD drive and all sport the same, wall-mountable and 1-inch thick design. What we don't know is when these will be shipping or how much they'll cost, but you'll surely be the first to hear after we do.

How about making a tabletop version?

@person5e9

That's what the iPad for!

@DamnYourUgly
The ipad can go die in pile of its own HTML5 lines...

@hdawggy why so much apple hate ?

[Jimbojones Posted Mar 31st 2010 12:04PM]

@appleipad it's not apple hate, apple is blocking flash only because they try to keep tight control over games on iTampon

[person5e9 Posted Mar 31st 2010 12:13PM]

@person5e9 Aww c'mon guys, just say a tabletop version would be good, and competition is good.

@hdawggy APPLE IS GOING TO START SELLING PICTURES OF THEIR NEW PRODUCTS AND CHARGE YOU TO LOOK AT IT FROM EVERY ANGLE.

@hdawggy Best comedy sketch since the Monty Pythons.

We have the first-gen EeeTop and it's really nice to see Asus making decent progress in that product line's maturation.

But it's so hard to see the little guys grow up! *sniff*

[hdawggy Posted Mar 31st 2010 10:09AM]

I have got to say i like the progress of Nettops... its really been great. Asus keep up the good work! Sub $300 and these could become very very popular very fast!

[alex2792 Posted Mar 31st 2010 10:09AM]

The ion model will make for a nice hackintosh, iMac on a budget!

[Exbloder Posted Mar 31st 2010 10:11AM]

Ion 2 = win

[stridermt2k Posted Mar 31st 2010 10:21AM]

I know I'll hear about it.

-and stop calling me Shirley.

If they can get multitouch below $350, I may be sold. I'd been thinking about something of this ilk to stream TV and audio into my kitchen, and don't really want to take up valuable counter space with a keyboard and mouse. Still, I'm guessing the price isn't there yet.

[albinomexi Posted Mar 31st 2010 11:20AM]

Finally, I can kick my brother off my i7 iMac

[budice4ever Posted Mar 31st 2010 11:51AM]

Boy its like Asus just takes a big dump on everything computer companies try to rip consumers off for.
Sony: Hey we have an All-in-one PC since its so exclusive we'll charge you $1,500 for it;
Asus: Hey we just heard about these All-in-one PCs want one for $500, here you go;
Sony: Goddamnit!
The race to the bottom is great for consumers so I love it. Keep it up Asus we need someone that actually cares about our pocketbooks

[Jimbojones Posted Mar 31st 2010 12:07PM]

why in the world, they show a mouse with cable on this photo? Awesome marketing move!

[inevercheckthis Posted Mar 31st 2010 5:43PM]

I would have loved it if the computer in the display also had a shot of a computer setup...


...and if THAT computer had a computer displayed on it...O...M...G!

Also, @jimbojones
Fear not, the computer has a wired mouse, but the image it's displaying shows it with a wireless mouse!

Glad I waited to buy a nettop. The technology seems about right to go buy one. HD video, multi-touch screen and virtual 5.1 sound and it looks cooler than an i-mac. And it will be cheap too.
