ASUS EeeTop PC ET1610PT hits Japan
Well, this doesn't come as too much of a surprise, seeing as we saw online support pages for it months ago -- but ASUS has launched it EeeTop PC ET1610PT in Japan, officially. The 15.6-inch all-in-one packs a 1.66 GHz Intel Atom D410 CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, 802.11b/g/n wireless, six USB ports, and a 5-in-1 card reader. It runs Windows 7 Home Premium and has the option of a touchscreen LCD, and you can grab one up starting June 10th (in Japan, of course) for ¥52,800, or somewhere in the realm of $580.
ASUS Eee Top ET1610PT with Atom D410 shows up in online support pages
While it doesn't seem to be available to order yet, ASUS' first Pine Trail-equipped nettop is close enough to release that the Taiwanese manufacturer has let some of its specs loose already. What we know so far is that it'll come with Intel's Atom D410 CPU, 802.11b/g/n wireless, six USB ports, a 5-in-1 card reader, and a webcam -- all while keeping Windows XP's dreams of immortality alive. The 1610 will be a 15.6-inch all-in-one, like its predecessor, with the T model offering optional touchscreen functionality. It's hard to argue that the new Atoms offer any great performance gains, but then ASUS is not expected to charge any premium relative to its older models, making this a desirable, albeit incremental, upgrade.
