ASUS Eee Box HD 1006 Nettop PC - White

usability, design

100% of the reviews on Amazon.com give this product a positive rating.

If you put a new OS on it, or after you've fixed what I listed below it's great. Plays back HD content no problem, can even play some newer games on medium settings decently. Can multitask on smaller programs pretty decently as well, but it can slow...

The OS out of the box is terrible. I even tried a system restore from the restore partition to be sure and ended up with exactly the same issues. Theres a ton of bloatware (most of it Windows related) that autoruns and seriously bogs down the system. I...

Great little system, the coolest thing is that it comes with a mount for the back of your flat screen monitor and you never have to see it! Fantastic for my grandfather-in-law who just needs a computer for email and word processing. It'd be great for...

It died after two weeks so I had to send in an RMA to ASUS because I had already sent the UPC in for the rebate (so I couldn't just return it to Newegg, otherwise I would have). Thankfully they've accepted my RMA request and I'm sending it in tomorrow....

I've done a lot of research into "nettop" pc's, and made the leap into buying one when we remodeled our kitchen, and found ourselves wanting to include a dedicated kitchen PC. The design on this box, which allows you to mount the entire rig to the back...

Would have liked to have Windows 7, or XP Pro on it, but for the uses here, XP home will work fine

Small, Attractive

Can't even play SD stream/dvd decently ; Bought this for streaming Netflix and playing DVDs, and it can barely handle these tasks. CPU runs at 80%+ with just one IE session running a Netflix movie, lots of stuttering. Same issue with DVDs using...

inexpensive, quite, low power, good value if you're not interested in HD

This device can't keep up with HD streaming. HULU (Flash 10.x) is completely unacceptable at any resolution. Netflix (Silverlight) is much better, even at 720p. The performance at 1080p is unacceptable. I've tried both IE 8 and Firefox... latest...

Graphics can handle Hi-def video ; HDMI port to connect to my 32' flat screen TV. The main reason I purchased this nettop was the affordable price and because it has all of the features I need. Light-weight and a nice stand that doesn't take up much...

no CD/DVD drive, not that I need one but if you do you will need a USB CD/DVD drive

Got this for my nephew. Excellent for general web surfing, skype, im's, emails, and light computer use. Small, compact, doesn't suck up much power, and reasonably quick. Works great. No problems so far. And it's inexpensive enough that you won't lose...

Don't expect it to run any process intensive programs. Struggles a bit on HD video. If you seriously want something more powerful, you're looking at the wrong place

almost silent and uses very little power ; super compact, mounts right on my mom's LCD monitor ; wireless keyboard and mouse is a nice bonus ; good graphics card for watching videos even 720p (provided that you have proper codecs installed, i recommend...

doesnt play youtube HD very well but thats not this unit's fault, adobe flash 10.1 isnt out yet, dont want to mess with beta for now ; wish it has an ODD but at this price range, im fine with this and will just get external ODD if it really comes to it...

Dedicated graphics in a net top. Very nice keyboard / mouse. Attractive design. Cool and quiet. Over clockable. Monitor mountable. Reasonable pricing. Rebate when I bought it

Wireless "N" tops out at 65mbps even with updated driver and BIOS. Radeon 4xxx graphics card is a *Mobility* series card, not a full Radeon. Costs nearly the same as a similar spec netbook with a monitor and battery. Max 2GB RAM single channel only....

Small, self contained - I have it mounted on the back of a Samsung monitor. CAT5 and wireless built in. 4 USBs. Decent video

Slow. Painfully slow. Abysmally slow, at least when using the internal wireless internet connection
