Asus Launches Touchscreen Eee Desktop
Barence writes “Asus has launched an Eee-branded 15.6” touchscreen desktop PC as a budget rival to HP’s TouchSmart. Available for pre-order now on Play.com for £399.99 ($749), it shares much of the same specification as the Eee PC, but with a larger 160-GB hard disk. Interestingly, it’s listed as coming with XP installed, so we’d guess Asus will be using some sort of proprietary touchscreen interface — yet the image on the site clearly shows Linux on the screen, which may be a better bet for an easy-to-use touch system."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
