  • Budgets being what they are, Asus' EeeBox PC EB1501 will be a good choice if you really do need all the extra features that come with the price tag. Even though performance is a little weaker than other compact machines, you simply aren't going to...

  • Full 1080p HD Media Support From NVIDIA Graphics, USB 3.0 and eSATA Ports, Includes Media Remote
  • Priced Similar To Many Budget Desktops, Lacks Bluray For True Full HD Media Entertainment
  • Mar 16 2011 - If you are looking for a nettop to be used as a home theater PC, then it is really hard to top the ASUS EeeBox PC EB1501P. It offers the greatest level of features and performance in a nettop for handling high definition media streaming. ...

  • Compact. Quiet. Wireless everything. USB 3.0 and eSATA. Includes VESA mount.
  • Only 90-day subscription to Trend Micro Anti-virus. Overactive Firewall. Small 320GB hard drive. Some bloatware. No Blu-ray. Card reader only supports SD/MMC. No TV tuner.
  • A compact desktop PC is one of the most convenient ways to get your digital photos, videos, and other entertainment up on the HDTV in your living room. Though slower and somewhat "stripped" compared with rivals, the Asus Eee Box EB1501P-B016E is a mos...

  • Thin design, Stays cool, Two USB 3.0 Ports
  • No Blu-ray drive, Lackluster gaming performance
  • Asus set out to prove that you can get impressive performance from a small nettop such as the EeeBox PC EB1501P, particularly in the form of high-definition video output. Thanks to NVIDIA's next generation Ion graphics and dual-core processor, the system...

  • Sleek and refined design fits any décor, nVidia Ion helps make high-quality video and gaming possible, HDMI output for video, eSATA port for fast external hard drive access, Useful remote included, Windows 7 Media Center provides easy DVR functionality, C
  • Expensive relative to competitors, Can't handle all HD video, Intel Atom still anemic, Hit-and-miss gaming capabilities, Too much bloatware, No built-in TV tuner
  • A slot-loading DVD drive sets Asus’ EeeBox 1501 apart from the nettop pack, but a high price and spotty HD playback keep it from being the ultimate home theater companion....

  • Clean, understated design
  • Can't play 1080p QuickTime files smoothly, caught in an uncomfortable pricing middle ground between cheaper Web-enabled Blu-ray players and slightly higher-end slim tower PCs, weak tech support
  • We like the looks of Asus' Eee Box EB1501, but it's pricier than Blu-ray players that stream content from the Web, and not as powerful as slightly more expensive slim tower PCs that offer significantly more speed and power. Asus made a decent attempt ...
