Asus Eee Top All-In-One Touch Screen PC Tested

MojoKid writes "Asus recently announced a new addition to their Eee PC family of low cost desktops and notebook products. The Eee Top ET1602 builds upon the popular line of Asus Eee-branded products by introducing an all-in-one desktop form factor, complete with a 15.6" touch screen. Like the Eee PC netbooks that preceded it, the Eee Top ET1602 is built on an Intel low-power Atom platform, with the 945 GSE chipset. Other features include an integrated webcam and 802.11n Wi-Fi, 4W speakers with SRS Premium Sound enhancement, and a flash memory card reader. The touch screen interface demonstrated in the linked video shows it has some novel features and functionality built into its interface. The product is essentially a lower cost competitive offering to HP's TouchSmart line."

I'm thinking it may do quite allright as a cheap touchscreen kiosk type of thing.

Just today I installed debian on one of these things, and everything including the touchscreen seems to work out of the box (with some configuration) the only thing I haven't tested is the wireless.

By the way, the built-in touchscreen seems to work much better than some LG touchscreens I've used that cost more than the whole machine, so all in all I'm pretty impressed with it.
