I think it's little bit late to release a PC in any form with those specs.
My netbook is smaller and quicker. I don't understand the point of this device.
I'm...not sure what to say... ASUS always makes good stuff, but what is this? looks like a 1980s product
Poor spec, far too poor for a price tag like that!
If this came out 16 months ago then it would be great. Now, it's just an underpowered netbook (if such a thing exists) in a funky form factor.
...bet if it had an Apple logo on it would be getting rave comments...

Doubtful - not even Lord Jobs can spin an Atom device. Say what you want about Apple products at least they perform satisfactorily for the purpose they were designed for and these single-core Atoms just don't cut it for anything.

As much as I hate Apple, this is sadly true.
my atom netbook surfs the net ok...
that said this is another product that i don't understand. Perhaps i'm just getting old but this seems as pointless as the iPad.

Can I have your netbook then because every one I've used can't even surf properly with a half-decent browser.
This EEE Keyboard would've been great when it was first announced - a simple living room and family web browser and utility (just like a netbook does) that can output to a big screen without all the clutter of towers, boxes and cables.
But for this money you can just about cram a Mini-ITX Athlon II X2 into a Silverstone Sugo SG05 and have an actual computer.
That is pretty expensive for what you are actually getting. A wierd looking keyboard, and a netbook that is going to struggle with most browsers.
