ASUS have just officially announced the Eee Box 206, otherwise known as a “nettop” (short for internet desktop, as in netbook for internet notebook). The Eee Box 206 features a AMD ATI Radeon HD 3450 GPU graphics card with HDMI port. You also get a remote control and DVI-D output adaptor. You can tell that ASUS are going after the HDTV market here.
The processor is an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz. 1GB of DDR2 memory, a 160GB hard drive, WiFi, BlueTooth, audio in/out, a headphone socket, but no DVD drive. Pretty impressive specifications, but I wonder if the hard drive is a low-power device? Would be nice to see some solid state variations too.
The best bit is that the Eee Box uses only 20W of power, and is made from eco-friendly and recycled materials. The nettop is already available now, in white or black, priced at around £310 ($438).
