What is it: Tiny media-oriented desktop PC with Atom CPU
What we think: Hugely stylish, but fairly limited in its range of functions
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 13 August 2008
Tags: asus, windows xp, media center, wi fi
We like:
Design; quiet operation; price
We don't like:
Lacklustre performance; small hard drive; can't play 1080p Full HD video
Also known as:
Eee Box
You might also need:
Wireless mouse and keyboard; remote control
CNET UK judgement:
The Eee Box is rather a mixed bag. It's not powerful enough to challenge the vast majority of desktops on the market and, as a Media Center PC, it's only mediocre. Despite this, we think it's worthy of consideration -- particularly because it's so cheap
