We’ve been admiring the natty all-in-one lines of Asustek’s innovative new Eee Keyboard for some time, and it looks like we’ll be able to get hands-on with the love in October.
The Eee Keyboard cunningly wedges in a full computer and a 5-inch touchscreen, with the ability to connect (wirelessly or with standard cables) to a PC monitor, an LCD TV or a digital projector.
There’s also Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.0 and Ultra Wideband HDMI (UWB high definition multimedia interface) on board, plus USB 2.0, a VGA port, HDMI ports, and connections for headphones and microphones.
Powered by a 1.6GHz Intel Atom microprocessor, backed by 1GB of DDR2 DRAM and a 16GB or 32GB SSD (solid state drive), the Asus is set to run Windows XP Home Edition (although this may end up as Windows 7).

This is an intriguing computer. Putting the touchpad/screen on the end of the keyboard makes it very long though. Here is a video showing it in use:-

It will be released in October they say. I am looking forward to seeing one.
Thanks for the video link.
Blimey, it’s very thin for a built in PC! I think it looks great, although the interface seemed very laggy at times.
