Originally written on June 4th:
Asus has decided that Computex 2008 in Taipei is the right time to officially introduce the new Eee Box B202, which will go live in the US around July. It runs both Windows XP or Linux versions and features a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, along with 802.11n WLAN connectivity, SD/MMC/MS slot, DVI output and many more. The Eee Box houses storage capacity ranged from 80GB up to 250GB and internal memory, starting from 512MB to 2GB, so you can run all your applications smoothly. Price tag begins with $269 for the basic package, including 1GB RAM, 80GB storage capacity and Linux version, as the XP flavor goes for $299.
Update: it runs 720p HD videos pretty smoothly but quiet choppy on the 1080p.
