ASUS Eee Box B202 Nettop - Hands On

Intel Atom based nettop that may change the world of cheap miniature computing:

The ASUS Eee Box B202 is a worthy addition to the already huge stable of Eee products that ASUS already has. In fact it’s basically a netbook sans the screen, keyboard and battery. While some detractors may find the lack of features and processing power to be something of a concern, the Eee Box does what it was designed to do, with minimal fuss and cost. Retailing at $439 (and $699 with a 19-inch monitor), the Eee Box will definitely not set you back when it comes to setting up a new system in the kitchen or other unusual places where a simple mini setup is required for casual web surfing needs.

Even if the nettop phenomenon fails to take off as anticipated, one thing’s for sure: the ASUS Eee Box is definitely worth the little it’s going for, but only if you need a really petite Internet-centric machine, some simple office applications and nothing more.
