ASUS Eee Box Specs & Pricing Unveiled

It’s now been over a month since ASUS first unveiled their Eee Box mini-PC, and now the specs are starting to slowly trickle out. According to Stuff.tv, the unit will retail for £199 ($392 USD) and include Windows XP Home, two USB ports, a card reader, DVI video output, Ethernet and an 80GB hard drive. All in all, a modest rig, but given its overall size, we didn’t expect much more.

Any way you look at it, though, this PC looks to be a relative steal. It comes in an ultra-portable size, like the Eee PC, and though I haven’t seen the two side-by-side, I would assume the Nintendo Wii is actually bulkier. In addition to its elegance, the Eee box even includes a keyboard and mouse. Now that seems like a good deal.

Although I don’t recall the exact specs sheet that I saw at Computex last month, I do know that the Eee Box is fully capable of churning out 720p content, which is helped by the latest Intel Atom processor. So, despite it’s small frame, this is one capable little machine. Add a wireless keyboard and mouse to the package and you have one heck of a stylish system that might actually be the focal point of your room for all the right reasons.
