Asus Rolls Out Eee Box 204 And 206 To Handle HD Content

Following the release of the Eee Box 202, Asus has decided to go far beyond, offering two new models, including the Eee Box B204 and B206, which pack the same specs, like Windows XP Home, 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270, 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD storage, and 802.11n WiFi, only with additional HDMI socket that improves the 1080p handling and plays high-def content without stuttering. There’s also Bluetooth connectivity and a built-in battery on the B204 version, so you will be able to continue using it in case there’s an electric crash at your vicinity. Still, no price or availability details.

Update1: turns out Asus has launched another model – a Celeron-based Eee Box B203, boasting Intel C220 processor, 160GB storage capacity and up to 2GB RAM.

Update2: more new details available in here.

    Pablo – The link below to Asus was suppose to bring you to the official announcement, apparently it doesn’t work now. Anyway, when Asus uploads a product to its website it means the product is official, so i guess you ca jump to the following link and take a look: http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=sVTIfejvD5rFDGnV

    The celeron suppose to be almost identical to the Atom, but power-consumption wise, the Atom is more efficient. I second the opinion calling for a TV tuner inside, although one can find many solutions out there.

    I wonder how powerful a celeron CPU is compared to the Intel Atom CPU..?
    Great with the HD-content anyway, I just donø’t get why there is no built in TV tuner – would make it perfect for a HTPC / mediacenter.. But of coruse, you can just buy some USB tv tuner for 100$…
