Niche Product or every cool?

A final assessment of the Asus Eee Top is difficult to come to because the computer puts itself between two stools.

On the one hand, Eee Top a somewhat half-hearted bid for a touch-PC, where you quite regularly will experience frustration that you are forced to keep a keyboard and mouse on a string.

Moreover the obvious hardware limitations, which means that the PC is only suitable for very basic needs.

Showing good rates
If you and / or your family already holds one or two computers, the Eee Top, however, be an entertaining and different expansion of home computer equipment.

But otherwise, there is good reason to let our eyes dwell on alternatives that something near the same price offers better expansion options and more horsepower.

We reward Asus Eee Top with a 3-figure since it is a means of product without the big gestures.

The touch-sensitive computer displays good rates to the price, and a more consistent user interface in the future might mean that HP will take the competition very seriously.

So far remains Eee Top nevertheless a very interesting PC supplements that appeal to a relatively limited audience.
