ASUS EeeKeyboard Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Since the miniITX boards came out the fans of game platform emulators like MAME and multimedia centers like MythTV have come up with hundreds of designs for a small multimedia computer with living room appeal. It was all very exciting, but I was always wondering why no company would create such e device and sell it for a reasonable price.
Finally, here is the eeeKeyboard and it is perfect. I love the design, the performance is just good enough and the best thing is the wireless HDMI interface.
I know that it does not have a lot of power when compared to the multi-core >2GHz CPUs that you get in laptops at a similar price today, but this was never the idea. I can connect this keyboard-sized-living-room-friendly computer to my home TV and surf the Internet from the sofa. I can run MAME and play a game and I can also watch video. Of course it is not 1080p and Quicktime runs slow, but my sofa is too far from the TV to notice "low quality" when I play a "low-resolution" movie (and most of the movies I have are "low" resolution).
I love this computer because I have been wanting something like this since the first 533MHz miniITX board (yes, you can play videos even on this type of system).
