It seems the letter “E” has the secret ambition to conquer the gadget world and your home. Not content with the EEE box, the EEE Stick, the EEE TV or the popular EEE PC, Asus has now added the EEE Monitor. Surely that’s what has been missing in our home that doesn’t carry the brand EEE.
Anyway, it appears that it’s not just a simple monitor but rather an all-in-one PC like the iMac. The screen size is around 19-21 inches, with a color choice of white or black. (more…)
Sony’s new Vaio Media Center PC’s look a bit like they should be on a runway in Georgio Armani’s Spring 2009 fashion show being held this week. But there is a difference. The models hitting the runway just don’t have the performance of the VGX-TP1DQ/B or the VGX-TP1D.
Packed in those round cases are an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to a 500GB hard drive, WiFi and an Nvidia GeForce 8400M GT graphics card for improved picture quality. With the upgraded Vaio Media Plus software, Sony has expanded the network capabilities as well. (more…)

If you can’t get enough of touch screen gadgets, then HP has a treat for you. Their newest generation desktop PC is designed specifically for touch. The HP TouchSmart IQ500 Series PC encourages you to touch its 22-inch high-definition widescreen super-slim touch display. There is no box involved here, since the CPU is embedded into the display.
The best thing about the touch control is that we can literally use our fingers to do lots of stuff that you would normally need a mouse for, thanks to HP’s proprietary sotware. As far as keeping things simple, the IQ500 only uses one electrical cord, and that’s the only cable you’ll find here since everything else is wireless. (more…)
It seems that every computer manufacturer has come up with a shrinking ray-gun to make all their gadgets smaller. ASUS is the latest to conjure up the dark arts with its Mini PC Nova Lite PX24. It’s the world’s smallest mini PC equipped with built-in dedicated graphics card, courtesy of ATI. The creme de la creme will be the support for High Definition output, both 1080i and 1080p, making it the world’s smallest HD PC.
Although it’s very small, ASUS has managed to throw in a 250GB hard drive, built-in Wireless LAN, Hi-Fi speakers, and HDMI port. The slim profile allows users to place it horizontally or vertically, to save desk space. An optional stand and Vista remote control is available. (more…)
MSI has unveiled the desktop version of their Wind UMPC, known as the MSI Wind mini-desktop, at Computex. The Wind desktop comes just after the recent release of the competing Eee Box mini desktop by Asus.
The new MSI desktop features an Intel Atom processor and it is about 3 times smaller than a traditional desktop PC. The desktop has really low power requirements at just 35-watts. It also has WiFi, a 160GB hard drive and it will be available with Windows XP or Linux pre-installed. (more…)
Yeah, you read that right. The Dell XPS 730 comes packed with 4GB of Corsair DDR3 overclocked to 1600MHz. Previous Dell XPS systems were running at just 800MHz. Both Dell and Corsair put a lot of testing into this machine to ensure that it remained stable, while operating at a very high clock frequency.
According to Andy Paul, president of Corsair, “The performance computing community is very aware of the improved game play that 4GB of memory offers, as well as corresponding improvements in task switching and program load times.”

The Asus Eee Box, which we previously featured here, showed up at Computex 2008 with quite a few details about it’s upcoming release and feature options.
The diminutive PC will in fact include the new Intel N270 Atom processor running at 1.6 GHz, and comes with either Linux or Windows XP. The base model comes with 1 GB of memory and 80 GBs of storage and starts at a dirt-cheap price of $269 for Linux, $299 for Windows.
802.11 wireless comes standard, as well an integrated graphics processor that will max out it’s resolution at 1200×1600, and an integrated media card reader. The PC is configurable, however. Throw in an extra 30 dollars on the base Linux model, and you’ll double your RAM and storage to 2 GHz and 160 GB respectively. There is also a 250 GB option.

The Asus Eee Stick controllers were debuted at Computex. They feature motion sensing capabilities and and they look just like the Wii nunchuks. One of the controllers can also be used a 3D mouse.
These were made for the Eee line of computers, but it is likely that will work with any PC. (more…)
Asus is getting ready to release its new desktop computer on June 3rd, according to new leaked reports.
The computer, dubbed the EBOX, is part of the very successful Eee PC line, and packs 2 GB of ram, a 160 GB hard drive, and Asus’ own version of Xandros Linux all into a tiny, Wii-like form factor.
No other details have been released yet, but the computer is expected to run the new Atom processor that will also ship with the Eee Pc 901, bringing better power management and performance to the Eee line.
The EBOX is expected to retail for around $300 dollars.
The moment I saw the pictures of this machine, I could imagine myself using it.
