Written by IT News on 6:58 AM
Asustek is rumored to be working on a desktop computer since January, but the next Eee PC 900 customers got all the interest. Yet, the new desktop system from the Taiwanese PC maker can be regarded as the option to the desktop Eee.
The EP20 desktop computer is formally called the "Digital Home System EP20", but instantly under its name, manufacturer added the famous "Easy to Play; Easy Learn, Easy to Work" sentence. If the inscription is more than a slogan misplaced, the company may be hinting at the fact that the desktop will be part of the family as well Eee.
The technical specifications for the desktop system are not yet known, but the company claims that it will come in a smaller form factor than ordinary computers. Asustek appears to continue to benefit from miniaturization, given the fact that it has played an important role in Eee PCs success. The computer is sure to come up with Hi-Fi Stereo and Dolby Digital Live support, as well as Eee the operating system, the Linux-based Xandros.
The EP20 desktop model is a silent machine, thanks to the included coolers. Given the decision that it already comes with high-definition audio, we get a nice home-theater PC system. However, there is no word on the graphics card and optical media, so that the HTPC May extract the audiophiles, but not the video enthusiasts.
According to Asustek, the first units of the desktop PC Eee alternative will be built on the Celeron processors that will be replaced later with Intel's forthcoming Atom processor, formerly known as "Diamondville. Therefore, the model will come in a single-core or dual-core versions of the chip, but there is no specific date for the CPU transition.
Pricing will be extremely affordable. Previous reports from Asustek claims that the desktop PC-based Eee will hit the shelves at a starting price of $ 199, but given the fact that it will come in the second quarter, a number of changes to the fees are also expected.
