Original Asus Eee

My Thoughts regarding the yet to be released Asus EEE Keyboard PC

Lets first begin with its specs, it's A full computer built into a QWERTY keyboard, as well as Ultrawideband HDMI and WiFi b/g/n, it also has a 5-inch touchscreen for shortcuts, media browsing and use as a virtual mouse.
Hardware wise the EEE Keyboard PC cosists of an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, 1GB of memory and either 16GB or 32GB SSD storage, I have read that their may be a lower model released, I am unsure about the differences between models as of yet, I guess we will have to wait until Asus Actually release their EEE Desktop PC before we will know for sure.

From what I have seen and read, using the built-in 5" touchscreen you have access to a menu in which you can access calendar, photo gallery, media player and an internet browser, there are also simple usability apps such as a calculator, alarm clock and system info.
On the back the all-in-one "pc-in-a-keyboard" you will find at least two USB 2.0, HDMI, VGA, wired ethernet and audio in/out (as well as having an integrated microphone and speakers).

Now I'm pretty impressed with what i have read and what i have seen thus far, However there is one thing that has my brain going 100 Miles an hour, I am not sure if ASUS have decided upon a specific OS they plan to release with the KeyBoard PC, however there are videos and demo's you can find on youtube that show it running with Windows XP, and also another Showing the Asus EEE Keyboard PC running with Intel's Moblin Netbook OS, this is the configuration i would prefer to see, I can't really complain That much about Windows XP, however such a device should really be using either its own modified version of linux or a cut down version of linux, Which in my opinion would be a more sensible choice.

However i do not work for ASUS, Nor do i get a say in what OS they will install on their EEE Keyboard PC, so we will have to wait until Asus either release the EEE Keyboard PC, or atleast release another statement regarding the release of the product.

I have been a bit frustrated with peoples comments i have seen around regarding the EEE Keyboard PC, the main one that i have notices is people saying things similar to "Commodore International did this in the eighties, PC's inside Keyboards aren't new, ASUS just found a way to "reinvent" the idea.. Whats Next? Are ASUS going to "reinvent" the Floppy disc?".

I understand where such comments are coming from, Yes Commodore International did release a computer back in 1982 which was built into the keyboard, and it was rather successful (i believe over 30 million sales) but you cannot compare that to the Asus EEE Keyboard PC in any way shape or form, im sorry but you simply cannot compare a 1.8KG horrid Creame box that was over 40cm wide 20cm long and 8cm's high (Not to mention the 1mhz processor and 64k of ram) to a nice sleek looking keyboard that isn't too "out there" or "huge" and comes with a 1.6Ghz Atom processor 1GB of Ram and all the other features.

I for one cannot wait to get my hands on one of these babies, will surely come in hand around the home and office, i might even look at rolling these out to my staff aswell as they always seem to run out of desk space due to the oversize desktop pcs they are currently using.

Once the Asus EEE Keyboard PC is released i will be purchasing one straight away so i can give my readers a proper full review of the product.
