14 DAY TRIAL // With each new technological advancement, virtually all new devices have the tendency to turn out smaller or slimmer than their predecessors, just as portability, comfort and style are features that consumers are increasingly watchful of when they buy a new electronic. In seeking to meet this need, as well as deliver decent levels of performance, ASUS has created the EeeTop PC ET2010 series of all-in-one desktop PCs, which are less than one inch thick and wall mountable, even while packing advanced features such as multi-touch input.
Some members of the new lineup are based on the AMD Athlon II X2 dual-core CPU and boast a dedicated graphics card with DirectX 11 support. These models are equipped with a 20-inch, high-definition plus display, with a maximum resolution of 1,600 x 900, as well as HDMI compatibility, an accelerated video transcoder and SRS virtual 5.1 channel surround sound. On the other hand, the line also features Intel Atom dual-core-powered models, which use the next-generation NVIDIA ION graphics.
"The ASUS EeeTop ET2010 delivers a rich multimedia and entertainment experience thanks to NVIDIA ION graphics. Whether you're watching HD videos online, tagging and sharing family photos or playing your favorite PC games, this system will do it all in style" David Ragones, director of ION and GeForce Product Marketing at NVIDIA, said.
The ASUS EeeTop PC ET2010 AiO line includes a pair of systems with multi-touch support. This multi-touch capability, however, is superior to other solutions on the market, according to ASUS. The EeeTop PC ET2010PNT and ET2010AGT are designed with the optical 20-inch multi-touch screen, which is more sensitive than other resistive and capacitive solutions, allowing for a more interactive and intuitive input. Finally, all devices in the line come pre-loaded with a set of software tools that grant users access to digital content such as music, videos, magazines and e-books, among other things.
