CNET editors' rating:
2.5 stars
OK
THE GOOD
Small design may have some aesthetic appeal; Draft N wireless; pre-Windows ExpressGate lets you browse and do other basics seconds after turning on the power.
THE BAD
Terrible performance and features compared with standard budget desktops; cheap laptop will offer similar capability, space savings, and portability.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Despite a few useful features, the Asus Eee Box is a novelty at best. It can't come close to the same performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, and a low-end laptop can do everything it can do and more. The appeal of Asus' Eee PC does not carry over to the Eee Box.
