EeeBox EB1501 is sexier than a Mac Mini

Darius Chang | Oct 05, 2009

Most Nettops already look like compact DVD players, but the Asus EeeBox EB1501 is ready to up the style ante by coming in at a thin 39mm. With a total volume of only 1.5 liters, the EeeBox's footprint barely registers on the desktop. There's HD video playback capability, thanks to its dual-core Atom N330 processor and Nvidia Ion platform.

But what really makes this Nettop unique is the way it stands. Instead of an upright form factor favored by its competitors, the EeeBox EB1501 tilts at an angle. This makes it look like a work of art instead of a plain low-powered PC.
