Asus boosts range with Celeron-based Eee
Published: 15 Dec 2008 09:37 GMT
Asus has beefed up its Eee Box line with the addition of a Celeron-based B203 to its website.
As expected, Asus's new desktop is largely unchanged from the B202, but it features a budget-minded Celeron 220 CPU instead of the Intel Atom found in earlier versions. Asus also increased the hard-drive options in the new model, offering a 120GB and 160GB version in addition to the 80GB offered in previous versions.
The B203 comes with four USB ports, a flash card reader, a DVI output, and Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity. The Eee Box runs Windows XP Home, but Asus recommends Windows Vista.
Pricing wasn't available on Asus's website Sunday night, but the processor change is expected to drop the cost of the Eee Box from $350 (£230) to $240, allowing the small form-factor desktop to better compete with similarly low-cost desktops and laptops.
