The display is of course a little thicker than the one on a laptop, but considering you save space and effort as there’s only one cable for the entire machine, it’s well worth the effort. Another interesting advantage of such a computer is that it consumes way less power than a normal desktop computer. As we said before, there’s only one cable going into a power socket, so you can imagine that the computer will be much more green and cost effective than a traditional computer.

Looks a little like a Mac, doesn't it?

Let’s get back to the ASUS Eee Top ET2203. In terms of design, the all-in-one computer doesn’t look too bad. It’s made out of smooth plastic and the black bezel going around the 21.6 inch display is a little glossy and might attract fingerprints. Under the screen, there’s a grilled plastic pattern, that also incorporates the stereo speakers. The back of the computer is also black and has all the necessary ports, like USB, HDMI, Ethernet and others.

In terms of components, the Eee Top ET2203 sports a Core2Duo T6600, 2.2 GHZ processor, which is a model we’ve seen on quite a few notebooks and laptops. The system memory is 4 GB SDRAM, which is again a type of technology we’ve seen and keep seeing used on portable computers, rather than on desktop PCs.

Most of the ports are on the back

There’s also a ATI RADEON HD 4570 graphics chip and a 500 GB HDD, spinning at 5400 rpm. There’s also a DVD drive, but you can also go for a Blu Ray drive instead. Finally, there’s a built in WiFi model, so you won’t have to use a data cable to stay connected. The hardware on this all-in-one computer is pretty solid, but most of the components are usually used for laptops.

This is explained by the fact that the computer is fairly slim and couldn’t possibly host all the big components a normal sized desktop tower can take in. But the setup is good enough to match and even beat the performance of many regular computers and can easily deal with the needs of casual users, like watching videos, browsing the web, gaming and working with documents.

The operating system of the computer is Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit version, which sadly can deal with only 3GB of RAM. If you’ll want to enjoy all the system memory available on the computer, you’ll have to go for a 64 bit version of the OS. The Eee Top ET2203, which is now available from Amazon for just $872.03, is strong enough to take you through basic and demanding applications without a problem.

The package includes a wireless mouse and keyboard

Full HD 1080p playback is possible on the computer, as well as some decent gaming, thanks to the Radeon HD graphics. It will easily replace your desktop computer and will surely look more stylish than a bulky tower next to your monitor. Plus, you’ll save money on energy and cleaning your work space is much easier than chasing all the dust bunnies from the fans and cables a normal desktop setup implies. And considering that the 21.6 inch monitor is fully HD compatible, you can easily hook up a console or Blu Ray player to it and use it as a display for some fine home entertainment.

The ET2002T basically has the same specs, except that it is actually the one to have the touchscreen input. On the other hand is the ET2203T with pretty much same RAM and network options but with higher capacity storage, core 2 duo processors and better video card.

All 3 touch computers are capable of playing high-def videos.
