ASUS Eee Box EB1501P-B016E Nettop Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Comment:
I have owned this nettop for just over a month now and I'm really happy with it. I was surprised to see that not only did it include a wireless mouse and keyboard, but also a remote control for windows media! Very cool.I do web design and graphic design and when I try to run a lot of applications such as photoshop, dreamweaver and flash, it does easily get bogged down. I didn't buy it for doing that sort of work, I just wanted to see what it could handle. Other than that when you're watching a movie or doing basic web browsing or streaming video, it works like a charm!I was also super impressed with just how quiet it is, you have to basically put your ear right up to it in order to hear anything.It has more than enough USB ports and I personally wouldn't get one of these without the disc drive even though you could get away without it.One thing that I didn't like was that the VESA mount is only really designed for mounting to the back of a monitor and not a flat screen TV. That's really my own fault as I assumed it would work on both and with a little customization I got it to mount up ok.I did have a problem initially with not getting sound from my HDMI outlet but ASUS tech support has been super helpful in getting that straightened out.One thing you should know is that when you first run the unit it does need a monitor and won't initially display on the HDMI port. I found that out the hard way and it doesn't mention that in the booklet. Once you've completed the set up you're good to go though and can easily plug it into any TV with an HDMI port and it works fine.I gave this unit 5 stars because it was not only exactly as advertised but getting the wireless mouse and keyboard AND remote control was a really nice surprise.
