Asus Introduces EEE Box Small PC

ASUS in association with Intel has announced the launch of world’s greenest, quietest and the most cost effective desktop PC in India. The Eee Box consumes 90% less power than normal desktop PCs and is one of the quietest with only 26 decibels sound emission. 

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Benson Lin, Corporate Vice President, ASUS, said, "With the ever increasing concern over global warming and the looming threat to the environment, ASUS has taken multiple initiatives in manufacturing green, eco-friendly products. These initiatives are part of our social and environmental responsibilities as well as part of ASUS’ strategic goal to tap the potential that ‘Green Industry’ has in future. We have made substantial investment in the R&D for green technology and will roll out products manufactured from environment-friendly materials, consuming much less power and conforming to stringent RoHS and WEEE standards."
Gopal Swaminathan, General Manager, OEM Business, Intel South Asia, "The Eee Box uses the Intel Atom N270 (1.6 GHz) processor, based on an entirely new architecture designed from the ground up specifically for low power and performance in an ultra-small package. The Intel Atom processor packs more than 47million transistors into a single piece of silicon measuring less than 25mm², and has a thermal design power specification in the 0.6-2.5 watt range. This is our smallest processor built with the world’s smallest transistors and a fundamental shift in design, small yet powerful enough to enable a big internet experience on devices such as the Eee Box."
The EEE Box is as sleek and slim as a paperback novel and can be mounted on VESA LCD displays for the ultimate space-saving solution. With the exclusive Express Gate – ASUS' fast boot technology - users can easily access the Internet, manage pictures, or communicate over IM/Skype just 7 seconds after boot up. The innovative ASUS thermal solution integrates a unique heat dissipation module with the AI fan – allowing quiet (26db) and comfortable computing. Compared to full-sized desktop solutions, the Eee Box’s energy-efficient performance reduces power consumption by up to 90%. The Eee Box also utilizes Green Design and is made with only eco-friendly materials for reduced CO2 emissions; and conforms to stringent RoHS and WEEE standards. The EEE Box is available for Rs. 16,490 excluding taxes.
