ASUS Eee Keyboard:Buy it and get a computer

Don’t let the name fool you, we aren’t really holding any contest here. What we are talking about is the ASUS Eee Keyboard. Imagine having your entire computer inside your keyboard. That’s what ASUS has accomplished with this product.

The Eee Keyboard is a PC with a QWERTY, minus the number pad. In place of numpad, lies a 5-inch 800×480 resolution touch screen. This keyboard comes equipped with an Intel Atom N270, 16 GB SSD, 1 GB memory, VGA and HDMI outs, a few USB 2.0 ports, and support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. All this packed into a slick looking keyboard with the bonus of segregated keys, similar to something you would find on a Mac.

ASUS has seen success with its Eee PC series and now they hope to duplicate the same with their Eee Keyboards. But we feel that this might not be that great an idea. Sure the concept is good, but looking down at keyboard while typing is bound to strain one’s neck. This is pure speculation, of course, we won’t know what to expect until we get our hands on the unit, which should be soon.

      “Sure the concept is good, but looking down at keyboard while typing is bound to strain one’s neck.”

      Pretty sure that’s where the VGA/HDMI ports come into play.

      I would personally like to see Asus offer an alternative unit by substituting things like the 16GB SSD and Atom processor for a battery and ARM9 chip to keep mixing things up in the mobile market.

      It will be interesting to dissect more of the technical specs; there could be definite potential for making this a really slick Hackintosh.

      Yes its true. That is why the VGA/HDMI ports are there.
      Battery is already included in the package.
      Thanks for the comment.
