ASUS Eee Keyboard to hit Europe and North America in October

Following a report pinning October as the likely month ASUS’ highly anticipated Eee Keyboard would finally reach market, it looks as though Asustek CEO Jerry Shen has finally confirmed what we’ve been waiting to hear. The almost-all-in-one Eee Keyboard we’ve had an unhealthy obsession with since January is finally set launch next month in Europe and North America. While pricing is still forthcoming, we’re still under the impression that a base price under $500 should become a reality. Spec highlights include:

  • Self-contained PC / keyboard combo with integrated 5-inch touchscreen display
  • OS: Windows XP Home Edition (though the one benefit of the delays may end up being Windows 7 at launch)
  • 1.6GHz Intel Atom microprocessor
  • 1GB of DDR2 DRAM
  • 16GB or 32GB SSD
  • Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n
  • Bluetooth 2.0
  • Ultra Wideband HDMI
  • USB 2.0 x2, VGA, HDMI, headphone and mic ports
  • Weight: 2 lbs

We’ll say it one last time: we need it.

    This is neat but I am not thinking I would enjoy a pc in my keyboard. It just seems to irritating! To be honest now a days I cannot even stand a wired keyboard as it is! Much less a keyboard with a bunch of wires coming from it! I like to be able to sit on my couch and use my keyboard with my pc on a 42 inch flat screen! I dont think this would do well for me! But it is an interesting post if I do say so myself!

    I’m hoping someone in BGR land can help me out with a quick primer on this wireless HDMI thing. How does it work? While I’m not as ignorant of the possibilities of this key-puter as a media center pc/dvr replacement, does wireless HDMI require anything special insofar as the TV is concerned? Thanks in advance.

    1 wireless hdmi now you have a pc on your 50 inch tv.. 2 grad student that uses labs, libraries, classrooms, and home.. 3 business person that changes offices.. just because its a niche product doesnt mean its stupid.. its a great idea just not one that will fly off the shelves..
