It almost costs the same as a Nintendo Wii. ‘Course, you still need peripherals, but still.

IMHO, this’ll get the job done for most people, especially non-gamers who just need a PC to make documents, presentations, surf the net, etc.

this would be a nice upgrade/option for those who have old hulking PC’s that they only use for word processing and surfing.

w/ less heat. w/ less noise. I think this is the one I’m looking for. Might use this beside a stereo and TV for mp3’s, photos and movies. Probably a linux development/test machine too. Take note. It’s good looking too =)

I think the video graphics card is an Intel GMA 950 which holds a maximum resolution of 1600×1200.

I think the target market for ASUS with this model is for those people who just wants a small form factor desktop. Also for those people who can’t afford Apple’s Mac Mini. It’s also good for schools and students here, especially for kids.

A portable desktop… Is there a market for that?

Yeah, whatever happened to the optical drive? This is a desktop unit after all.

The Shuttle xPC has been around for quite some time but I don’t think it’s doing too well. We’ll see if Asus can do better with this.

i am also keeping an eye for a small-form low-power linux box that will serve as both as a download/file server/streamer of my little network at home. before Asus and MSI said they will be offering a non-LCD variation of their ultraportable models, my only options are either the ones from nohrtec or the encore NAS being sold in cdrking.

nohrtec products are only available online while the encore NAS is a bit too limited for my needs. the Ebox sounds a good alterntive but a little bit pricey so i will wait for the MSI Wind response, or the incoming slew of mini/pico-itx offerings to bring down the price below US$200.

ciao!
