Dupa succesul inregistrat de notebook-ul EeePC, ASUS va lansa o versiune pentru desktop bazata pe acesta, si anume Ebox.

Designul noului Ebox seamana extrem de mult cu cel al consolei Nintendo Wii, dar pe dinauntru va fi un computer. Ebox va fi echipat cu 2GB RAM, hard-disk cu o capacitate pana in 160GB dar si cu o unitate optica cu incarcare de tip slot (fara tava). Mai multe detalii despre Ebox vor fi disponibile in momentul lansarii oficiale, adica pe data de 3 iunie la expozitia Computex 2008.

Pretul unui asemenea desktop va fi undeva in zona 200-300$.
