Asus Set To Release Desktop Eee PC Variant

the_leander writes "The Register has pictures of the desktop version of Asus's Eee PC, reportedly called the 'Ebox.' It will be released early next month after it has been unveiled publicly at Computex in Taipei on June 3. It'll come equipped with the same Xandros Linux distribution as the Eee, though it's likely that Windows XP will be available also. But given the probable choice for CPU, Atom, ithe Ebox is unlikely to allow for the use of Vista, unless you're something of a masochist. It's expected to retail for $200-$300."

But for that price by Anonimouse · 2008-05-26 20:53 · Score: 1, Offtopic

i can buy a far more powerful machine second hand. I can see the rationale for a low priced hand held size device as that niche didn't exist before. But a desktop? Especially when everyone is moving towards laptops...
