Built-in touch screen; small form factor; easy to use
Slow performance; expensive for its class
The Eee Top ET1602s modest performance brands it as a second or even third PC, but this space-saving nettop offers an easy-to-use interface and an integrated touch-screen display. ...
Compact; easy to navigate; neat touchscreen feature.
High price tag; only suited to basic computing tasks.
Although it boasts a touchscreen and simple to use interface, the Eee Top seems to be aimed at a niche market with a fairly high price tag attached. The general idea is a good one though, and we could start seeing other slightly tweaked versions showi...

Touch screen, six USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11n wireless networking
Looks a little tacky, reflective screen, keyboard and mouse are small and uncomfortable, audio jacks not located on the front or side
