Eee monitor

My name is Box. Eee Box

Remember the not even launched Eee Box? A gentleman with nice outfit, white skin, shiny smile?

Sure you remember the mini PC that gets to complete the Eee line of products. Well, it’s almost official: you’ll get Atomic power and low wattage. The Intel Atom N270 processor clocked at 1.6GHz is coupled with 512 MB - 2 GB of RAM to give enough power for office tasks and basic entertainment (movies, music). And that’s it, no dedicated graphic card, no DVD reader/writer (but a multicard reader).

Seems to me that the specs are in par with the ones of the Eee 901, which is fair enough but lets you wanting more.
