14 DAY TRIAL // Since telling apart all of their various products can sometimes be a rather difficult task, Asus has decided to make things a little easier at least as far as its AIO (all in one) PCs are concerned, effectively splitting their lineup in two different families of products, depending on the CPU of choice used within the respective computing systems. So, as NotebookItalia tips us (thanks, Marco), in order to help users differentiate a lot easier between their Intel Atom-powered AIO PCs and the ones powered by different, more powerful CPUs, Asus has decided to keep the Eee Top name just for the first category, the systems pertaining to the second group being known from now on simply as All-in-one.
As some of you might already know, the products in the first category (Eee Top) are available in either 16, 20 and 22-inch models, and are built around various Intel CPUs, either single or dual core, and available either per se or paired up with NVIDIA's ION platform.
The All-in-one models, on the other hand, are available in 20 and 24-inch models, and are powered by either Intel Core CPUs or the various AMD processors, plus a fairly wide choice of GPUs (both discrete and integrated video cards models are available, depending on the specific model).
To be perfectly honest, the decision to split the AIO lineup in two series seems to be quite a fortunate one, since it will allow users to search a lot easier for their system of choice, whether they plan to go for a low-power, yet more affordable Eee Top AIO PC, or to actually purchase a system that keeps the same form factor, but packs a lot more punch, as is the case with the new All-in-one series.
There's mention whether this move will affect the overall pricing of Asus' Eee Top PCs, but we suspect this is not really the case.
