Asus EeeTop PC ET1602

Will Asus be the next "new" must have name in homes across the world? I don't know but maybe! The more I read about this company and the products they offer the more I'm impressed...then again it doesn't take much to impress me lol.

The Asus Eee Top PC has versatile mobility, interactive touch screen, near silent operation and exclusive touch software. It's basically a one step desk top...as "some" say so easy a caveman can use it. The setup is so simple that it's ridiculous. It gives plug and play a whole new meaning. Take it out the box and plug up the power cord...it's that simple! Move around the house with no problems. This is perfect for the beginner users and will have you navigating like an old pro in no time. It also features an exclusive easy mode within windows to make commonly used applications a snap to use.

It offers a microphone and 1.3 mega pixel camera which is not all that great but it will get the job done for web conferencing for business or pleasure

Like a netbook, the EeeTop PC is designed to supplement your other PCs, not replace them. You shouldn't expect to pick this up and want to complete your work there, you could but I wouldn't advise it. It is more of an entertainment PC. It also includes "Eee Cinema"( media center software capable of handling photos, video, DVD movies and music). The DVDs can only be used with an external device of course, but all of the others are located on the machine itself. Music should be stored in My Music, the videos and photos can be placed anywhere, since the software allows you to go search for it. So no more losing sounds you downloaded yay for them one less thing "we" busy people have to worry about.

Now for the not so wonderful...it lacks an optical drive, has a slow hard drive, small display and high price tag will distract most users from purchasing one of these systems. On the other hand it has touch screen display, low power consumption and overall small dimensions, features that will attract some green users. At 528.00 it's not exactly a steal but isn't highway robbery either. Is it worth your money? Only you can decide that.

ASUS Eee PC ET1602 is silent. Heating up is minimal which is consequence of used components. Since low power consumption was a goal for this system so the integrated graphics card cannot be used for playing games. Hard drive is slow and its performances are not too good.

So even though it won't replace you main pc you will find yourself using it more and more, since it's geared more for the home user and it's easy I think it would and could be beneficial for the beginner who finds their main computer a pain to use.
