Asus has taken Apple's iMac concept to the next level by compressing an entire full functioning
Windows PC, into a high-tech keyboard design. The new Asus EEE keyboard computer contains an Intel Atom 1.6-gigaherzt chip, a 16-gigabyte solid state drive
, Windows XP home and a wireless connection that turns any TV, into its monitor. The wireless TV connection
hardware works by utilizing a radio chip to beam a high definition signal to a small receiver that is plugged into any TV, up to 15 feet away.
Asus makes this freedom possible by giving the keyboard the same small three by three circuit board that it
uses on the Eee netbook. The keyboard also contains a 5.5 inch touch-sensitive display of its own. The ASUS keyboard computer will be
available this September and is expected to retail for $500-$600, depending on configuration.

Wow, this is great for the traveling business person or someone who just wants to go room to room with their computer at home. It looks easier to take than a laptop and can hook up to the tv without wires, very cool.
