Electronics : Asus EEE BOX B202 Personal Computer Intel Atom (N270) 1.6GHz 1024MB 160GB Windows XP (Black)


My new EEE Box arrived promptly and was up and running quickly. I've attached it to the back of my Panasonic flatscreen tv, added a usb tv tuner (Freecom) and connected it to my home network via a devolo network plug. I can now watch BBC IPlayer etc.; view, record and pause freeview channels and watch/play content streamed from the Buffalo Linkstation NAS on the network. The setup also means I can watch recorded TV on other computers on my home network and, by using Logmein (free version), I can set the EEE Box to record programmes from anywhere - which in my case means hotel rooms in far flung places as well as at home. The picture quality is perfect with no skipping!

I've no plans for using it for anything other than media watching/playing, ... Read More:

I've been using the 24" iMac for professional webdesign and it's amazingly fast. Running OSX is a thing of beauty, but being able to run Window XP AND Vista at the same time all on the one machine (using Fusion) makes webdesign a doddle (I've added a bit more RAM than the standard).

Microsoft Office (for Mac), Adobe Creative Suite, and a host of Mac specific apps all run at the same time without any loss of speed (I've even got web radio playing in my ear at the same time as writing this, along with having about a dozen other apps running).

The mouse and keyboard are also a joy to use (the Mighty Mouse has 4 buttons and a scroll wheel - but you might need to read up on how to use them all, as the mouse looks like it has no buttons ... Read More:

I've had my EX475 about a week now - everything is set up and working nicely. Have fitted a 1TB External USB HDD to back up the server itself. Strangely, it seems server back-ups have to be initiated manually, while client back-ups are automatic on a schedule.

Also strangely, it is not possible to connect a printer to the EX475 using the home server console. I managed to do it, but I had to use the Terminal Services program which is not recommended. Perhaps they will add this feature - saves buying a network print server or having to leave a machine on all the time.

One point to watch out for - remote control of client PCs is NOT possible unless those clients are running XP Pro, or Vista Ultimate. The Vista Home Premium OS that most ... Read More:

Much to my frustration i have just had to buy one of these. As I say, they're great little machines: tiny, beautifully designed and powerful enough for what most users will ever need, with all the joys of the very superior Mac OS and user experience.

So the caveat: this model is now (June 2008) massively overdue an upgrade. Unfortunately the Mac Mini does not seem to be a very high priority on apple's development schedule. It's exactly the same spec and price as it was at launch nearly a year ago, which is a long time in the fast moving computer market. In the mean time, I think I'm right in saying that Apple as updated every other computer product line. Sadly the humble Mini seems to have been passed over, and no longer represents the such excellent value. ... Read More:

Small, easy to use OS, lots of connectivity, excellent media software, a DVI output for connecting to a HD-ready TV....probably the best solution on the market as an all-round home entertainment hub that doubles-up as a first-rate computer. I replaced a G4 Mac Mini with this, and found that it is at least 5x faster. Very pleased with it.

Firstly no problems with the delivery or the ordering process, however it's when I got this machine home my problems began. As described in an earlier review when I first switched on the PC would not accept my monitor though the trick with F8 did the trick on startup.
Things went ok with printer connection which was seemless - the machine was quiet, Pentium instead of Celeron and reasonably quiet.
My problems began with the broadband modem, whose installation disc would not run properly (was fine on my old XP machine) anyway went onto website to get driver data to use on Vista which I installed - despite this the PC refused to acknowledge my modem's existence so thought sod it will get one from PC World that works with Vista - no such luck and neither Tiscali nor Netgear ...

I've used Macs for many years: the first desktops I ever used were Macs. I bought this computer to replace an 8 year old iMac which was still working fine, but just getting a bit tired. At work I use Windows so I'm familiar with both systems. When the new computer arrived I planned to spend a whole evening setting it up, ready to use.

But even I, a seasoned Mac user, was amazed at the ease with which the computer was set up. In literally 5 minutes I had internet, e mail, my accounts, etc. and was ready to work. Everything just works perfectly, and the screen is an absolute joy: it generates a real 'wow factor' when you see it.

The computer is incredibly stable. Despite installing loads of stuff I've not had a single crash, freeze or other issue. The icons for applications ... Read More:
