We've all heard about the Eee PC craze a while back and some of us were interested enough to try them out. Nothing too crazy about them except for their rather small size and cost. After all they were netbooks which serve the purpose of mainly surfing the webs and doing some other low profile jobs such as word processing and instant messaging. After having died down, Asus is trying to re-initiate the Eee craze with its new Keyboard PC. Yes! You heard right! It is a netbook stuffed into a keyboard. The specs are quite okay as well. With a 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, a choice between an 8GB or a 16GB solid state drive for your files and storage, Bluetooth, WiFi as well as a 5" touchscreen display where the number pad once resided, the Ee Keyboard PC already has a ton of fans. On top of the aforementioned specs, this new form of PC will have VGA and HDMI support so if the little touchscreen doesn't really do it, you can still hook it up to your big monitor. Like all that isn't enough, you have the option of connecting your screen wirelessly through the HDMI port. As for prices, this new PC will come in two flavours. The wired model will come out for about $400 while the wireless one will cost about $600. Make sure you check back on this product closer to its release date in either May or June of this year as prices might slightly change.
