Ever since launching the first Atom-powered netbook, Asus' Eee brand has led the way in all manner of other Atom-based fields - if rumours are to be believed we will soon be seeing Eee-branded keyboards, phones, and even mirrors. For now, though, we're lo...
The Asus Eee Top lacks the horse power to replace most people's main home PCs. However, its small and elegant form factor combined with a highly accomplished touchscreen interface and low cost makes it the perfect second computer to sit in the corner of y...

The ASUS Eee Top may look like a toy, but its actually an all-in-one PC with a touch screen. It can be described as an entry-level version of HPs TouchSmart PC — its nowhere near as powerful or feature-rich, nor is it as good looking as a TouchSmart PC. But for $1299, it doesnt need to be. Its just a basic PC for the home, and it can also be used much like a kiosk PC thanks to its touch screen. What you get with the ASUS Eee Top is a 15.6in screen with a PC built into it, based on a 1.6GHz...

Compact all-in-one PC. It runs Windows. Nice styling. Touch screen.
