Poor overall performance
Wheres the optical drive? No HDMI output
which actually doesnt matter much because theres also no hardware decode acceleration. By itself
the Atom processor can barely handle 720p H.264 streams
dashing our hopes of this being the ultimate home streamin...
Smallish hard drive. No 3D performance worth speaking of. Low benchmark test numbers. Some apps may be incompatible. 1GB of memory. No CD or DVD drive. Its Windows
so youre vulnerable to Windows malware and viruses.
No optical drive.
Express Gate buggy. No DVD drive. Windows slowdown concerns
Terrible performance and features compared with standard budget desktops
cheap laptop will offer similar capability
space savings and portability.
Terrible performance and features compared with standard budget desktops
Relatively rich software package and small dimensions followed by low power consumption make ASUS EeeBox B202 very interesting choice not only for an office environment but also as an home multimedia center. Of course new gaming titles cannot be played...

No optical drive.
In spite of the lack of an optical drive, I give the Eee Box a double thumbs-up for its originality in design and execution. Youd be hard pressed to come by anything even close to this right now. This is especially great for people with LCD monitors ...
When it comes to specifications, the Eee Box is absolutely identical with its mobile cousins. The same old trinity of the Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB RAM and 80GB HDD does duty, along with Windows XP Home. This system roundup has proven itself in th...
Small size; low power consumption; quiet; great as a multimedia playback machine.
Cannot handle 1080p videos.
In use, the Asus Eee Box was actually a decent performer for casual computing tasks and multimedia playback, and actually looked good when placed next to other home theatre equipment. It’s rather a pity though that Asus did not put in a slightly b...
The EeeBox really does what it’s supposed to and very well. It’s a well priced machine that is compact, looks good and does general office work well, including email, MS Office and internet. You could watch some XVID movies and TV shows, but t...
Very Inexpensive, Uses Very Little Power, Extremely Small
Lacks CD/DVD Drive, No FireWire Port
The ASUS Eee Box B202 brings the concept of an extremely low cost basic computer system to the desktop market. It delivers on this promise but also lacks many of the basic features one would expect from a desktop computer. It really is best suited for ...

Weak multimedia performance, Slow hard drive, No optical drive
When ASUS released the original Eee PC back in October 2007, the lilliputian laptop surprised the tech industry by spawning its own product category, the mini-notebook. Now, nearly a dozen Eee PC notebooks later comes the Eee Box, a diminuitive desktop...
My time with the Eee Box was enjoyable, and the device is full of great ideas. Its the kind of thing Id recommend to less computer-literate family and friends, but the limitations of the Atom platform at present—specifically the underwhelming video...
