Small. Quick to boot. Cheap. Good looking
Lovely design
Really tiny
A ludicrously low price! It's tiny!
First things first
This costs just £200! That’s a bargain in anyone’s book
Especially as it runs pretty fast for such a basic machine. That’s largely down to a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor. Rounding up the rest of the spec

Small design may have some aesthetic appeal
Integrated DraftN WiFi

The editors didn't like
No keyboad
Mouse or screen
Not powerful enough for HD Video
Limited power
Linux quickboot system is unimpressive
Express Gate buggy. No DVD drive. Windows slowdown concerns
Underperforming
Weird display issues
No optical drive. No dedicated GPU. Average specs.
So why the low price? Well
There's no mouse
Keyboard or monitor for a start. The lack of optical drive could also prove a problem for some people. Graphics too
Aren’t much cop
Mainly because there’s no dedicated GPU inside. And as for...

When ASUS released the original Eee PC back in October 2007, the lilliputian laptop surprised the tech industry by spawning its own product category, the mini-notebook. Now, nearly a dozen Eee PC notebooks later comes the Eee Box, a diminuitive desktop...

The Eee Box is a great value that's geared toward students, as well as home and small-office users. Even with its internal fan it’s practically silent and consumes little power, making it easy to recommend as the start of a budget or second PC system....
My time with the Eee Box was enjoyable, and the device is full of great ideas. Its the kind of thing Id recommend to less computer-literate family and friends, but the limitations of the Atom platform at present—specifically the underwhelming video...
Tiny. Quiet. Energy-efficient. "Express Gate" pre-Windows quick-boot mode. Windows XP Home (compatibility, software). Mountable on VESA monitor. Multithreaded processor.
Smallish hard drive. No 3D performance worth speaking of. Low benchmark test numbers. Some apps may be incompatible. 1GB of memory. No CD or DVD drive. Its Windows, so youre vulnerable to Windows malware and viruses.
The ASUS Eee Box PC is just what its billed to be: a tiny PC that runs Windows XP and is good for Web surfing and simple tasks....
In terms of its general performance profile, the Asus Eee Box delivered more than we expected for its size, power consumption and price tag. The machine provided a fluid experience in all but our full 1080p digital video playback test but held up to...
Synopsis: In some respects, when we think about what the capabilities of a $349 desktop system should be like, we cant help but be impressed what Asus has achieved and the overall value of the Eee Box. Whats more impressive though is the Eee Boxs...
Small, lightweight and cuter than bowl full of kittens. More than enough processing power for everyday computing. Cheaper than an ounce of Da Kine bud. The option of running Splashtop for preboot access to Skype, web browsing and IM clients.
Wheres the optical drive? No HDMI output, which actually doesnt matter much because theres also no hardware decode acceleration. By itself, the Atom processor can barely handle 720p H.264 streams, dashing our hopes of this being the ultimate home streamin...
Small design may have some aesthetic appeal; Draft N wireless; pre-Windows ExpressGate lets you browse and do other basics seconds after turning on the power.
Terrible performance and features compared with standard budget desktops; cheap laptop will offer similar capability, space savings, and portability.
Despite a few useful features, the Asus Eee Box is a novelty at best. It cant come close to the same performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, and a low-end laptop can do everything it can do and more. The appeal of Asus E...
Abstract: As a brand name, Eee is a phenomenon. Scarily reminiscent of a console counterpart with which it rhymes, the Nintendo Wii , Asus' new Eee Box range has as much potential in the desktop sector. Of course I'm not saying Eee PCs of any variety will ever sell...
