Overview

ASUS Eee Box

Editors rating
Rating: 5.8
Verdict

Despite a few useful features, the ASUS Eee Box is a novelty at best. It can't come close to the performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, while a low-end notebook can do everything it can do and more. The appeal of the Eee PC does not carry over to the Eee Box.
