Asus Eee Top ET1602

Most affordable all-in-one PC on the market ; semiportable and easy to set up, thanks to its small size and self-contained design ; boasts a touch interface with a few useful apps

Touch software only semiuseful ; decent performance for an Atom system, but horrid compared with similarly priced laptops and desktops

Thanks to its price, size, touch screen, and semiportability, the Asus Eee Top ET1602 presents a lot of usage options. Put it in the kitchen, den, or even a hallway, and it can serve as an easy information hub for your family. Just don't put it on a ...

With no battery, the Eee Top can't compete with laptops for portability, but thanks to its 6.75-by-15.7-inch footprint, the Eee Top also take up less space than many laptops and their protruding keyboards. Adobe Photoshop CS3 image-processing test...

ASUS Eee Top 1602

By Joel Santo Domingo

Netbooksthose tiny, low-priced laptops geared mainly to Web surfinghave become increasingly ubiquitous in the PC marketplace. Nettops are their desktop equivalentslesser known, but retaining the same low-power/low-price orientation as the netbooks. ...

Compact all-in-one PC. It runs Windows. Nice styling. Touch screen

Only 1GB of RAM. Smallish mouse lacks back button. Weak 3D graphics. Can't run most of our benchmark tests. Screen is single-touch only. No Internet security software included ; Watch the ASUS Eee Top 1602

The ASUS Eee Top 1602 is the first truly integrated all-in-one nettop. The Eee Top may create a new categorythink of it as the new Internet terminal that replaces your desktop (which is what WebTV or Audrey tried to do).

But while both of those require an external display, the ASUS Eee Top 1602's ($599 list) monitor is built in, making it the first all-in-one nettop PC. The Eee Top was responsive to my touching the screen with either a finger or the stylus, and...

EEE TOP 1602

By Nick Mediati

With its Eee Top 1602 all-in-one desktop ($600 as of February 12, 2009; available in early March), Asus carries the Eee name over from its popular netbook line to the desktop. And though you won’t want to run Adobe Photoshop on an Eee Top (the ...

Easy-to-use, touch-friendly interface. Compact, attractive design.

No optical drive. Some utilities are clunky.

If you're looking for a computer for the kitchen, for your kids, or perhaps for the technophobe in your life, the Eee Top may be just the ticket

Its 15-inch, 1366-by-768-resolution LCD touch screen is small by desktop standards, but it is adequate for most basic tasks (Internet, word processing, light gaming, and the like), and it helps the Eee Top fit into a range of living environments....

Eee Top

By Rory Reid

The Eee Top is a strange departure from traditional Eee-branded products. This low-power, low-cost, all-in-one desktop PC features a touch-sensitive display, setting it apart from its rivals. Though Asus ships the Eee Top with Windows XP, they've ...

Design ; 6 USB ports ; Wi-Fi

Display is single-touch only ; no option to run off batteries

It's gorgeous to look at, easy and fun to use, and is also affordable. If you're looking for a second PC for multimedia, Web surfing or general tinkering, we'd definitely recommend it. Keep in mind that it slows down when multitasking, but that's ...

Features Though it's a desktop, the Eee Top much in common with Eee PC netbooks. But that's where the similarities end, because the Eee Top is a desktop through and through. Unlike the Eee PC netbook, the Eee Top has a relatively large hard drive....

Asus ET1602 Eee Top desktop PC

By Chris Hall

A touch PC for your home?

Easy to set-up, Easy Mode, small footprint, price, fantastic as an internet portal

Media options not great, not that much touch specific software, lack of power

With a pleasing price and slick design, the Eee Top is let down by its software offering. That said, it is a lot of fun to use

It has oft been said that Asus aren\'t scared to try a few things - just look at their Bamboo notebooks, the original Eee PC and now the Eee Top. Ok we\'ve seen the HP TouchSmart and the Sony VAIO all-in-one, as well as the iMac of course, but the...
