The POCO M8 Power is now official PH telco giants propose PHP 30B subsea network with earthquake sensors Disney+ and Netflix might create a free subscription tier Here what the Google Pixel 11 Pro will look like Visa brings Apple Pay to its customers in the Philippines

Ini bisa jadi hal paling keren yang pernah dikeluarkan Asus -- sebuah Eee Keyboard yang berfungsi sebagai pusat media rumah yang berdiri sendiri. Tidak ada yang tahu apa sebenarnya keyboard ini karena belum ada detail dari Asus.

Ada layar LCD kecil berukuran 5 inci di sisi kanan keyboard (yang juga berfungsi sebagai trackpad saat terhubung ke PC Anda) tetapi tidak tahu apakah itu sistem operasi Linux atau platform tertanam.

Namun, jika port di sisi depan atas keyboard berarti ada indikasi...

Ini bisa menjadi PC yang berfungsi penuh yang tersembunyi di dalam keyboard nirkabel (WiFi 802.11b/g/n). Di sana Anda melihat port USB, LAN, audio, dan pembaca kartu SD, VGA, dan apa yang mungkin merupakan port HDMI (?). Ada juga speaker dan mikrofon bawaan.

Jika port‑port itu ada, maka kita juga dapat dengan aman mengatakan bahwa prosesor, SSD, dan RAM juga tersembunyi di suatu tempat di dalamnya (mungkin Intel Atom?). Foto kredit oleh Gizmodo.

Intel Core i7: Schnellste CPU der Welt im Testlabor

this means we have to wait for more details.. =) but ASUS has indeed put a new angle into PC products.. Interesting indeed.

If you can install Boxee on Linux on this. This would be an awesome HTPC to go with any HTDV. Just plug it in and enjoy.

I wonder if it has an SSD on it?

The lack of details on this EEE Keyboard could mean a lot of thing. Its a proof-of-concept-prototype. So it may never ship at all.

In CES companies are known as a test consumers interest on soon to be released products. And also to see in public what their competiton has to offer. If the product is considered obsolete when announced. They wont even bother building it. (Hats off to Palm they missed the boat on the netbook craze by cancelling the Foleo and now the smartphone Pre)

Just hope the massive interest on this product wont lead to Asus releasing a product that is a dud. Coz unless you can see and test this EEE keyboard at a store. This product doesn’t exist yet.

How much does this keyboard costs?

Unknown Soldier · 18 years ago

I like this concept but an upgrade capability and processing speed maybe slow.

also, the design may give you a stiff neck while typing at the screen.

cris · 18 years ago

amazing! a keyboard that acts like a CPU. very nice indeed!

sylv3rblade · 18 years ago

Wow.. Do want! I can’t wait for the details on this thing.

Wow, that was really cool. A keyboard that has a WiFi capability and it also serves as a connection. It can also be a media center, this is a great breakthrough and I also agree that this is the coolest thing that ASUS ever made so far. But the million dollar question will, how much will it cost and when will it be available here in the Philippines.

And oh btw, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) I think is also the connection for an LCD TV to connect to a DVD to achieve a full HD experience, it is also the connector of a Blu-ray disk. I saw that port also in my GF’s Sony Bravia. Well, theoretically speaking I can guess that it can also be used as a controller for the new Samsung LCD Series 8, well Im really not sure about it but as I can see the ports available there are lots of potential features and capability.
This is really a one great stuff.
