Sascha, over at Netbooknews does a hands-on with the new Asus Eee Top ET2002 whose launch we covered here a few weeks ago..  This machine has a dual core Atom processor and the Nvidia Ion graphics chipset, so it should be able to handle HD video without any issues.  It also has an HDMI-out port, as well as 6 usb ports and a card reader.

The ET2002 is loaded with Windows 7, and Sascha spends some time testing a new voice recognition app from Asus.  Check out the video after the break.

Asus launches the Eee Top ET2002T with Nvidia graphics

Asus Eee Top ET2002T

The new Asus Eee Top ET2002T is an All-In-One nettop with a 20″ screen at 1600×900 pixels.  Under the hood it packs a dual core Intel Atom 330 processor and Nvidia Ion graphics which should help it drive high definition video on the relatively high resolution display.  Rounding out the specs are 2gb of ram and a 250gb hard drive.  Interestingly, the ET2002T also has an HDMI input port, so you can display another computer on its screen.

Spec wise, the new Eee Top follows on nicely from Asus’s earlier All-In-One Nettop, the ET1602.  This new Asus nettop will go head to head with Lenovo’s 20″ brand new nettop, the IdeaCentre C300, which I unboxed last week.  They both have 20″ screens and Atom 330 processors. Hopefully, we’ll get a chance to look at them side by side and see how Ati’s graphics on the Lenovo compare to the Asus’s Nvidia Ion solution.

Is the Asus Eee keyboard a nettop?

Monday, June 15th, 2009 | Asus Nettops with Comments

Asus has been showing off their Eee keyboard since CES, but what is it?   It’s not a netbook since there is no screen that you would want to use for web browsing, so it fits the description of a nettop more accurately.  It runs Windows XP, or as in the video, possibly the Linux based Moblin OS on an Intel Atom CPU, 1 GB of ram and 16 or 32 GB of SSD storage.  Wireless HDMI will be available to stream to your TV.

ASUS have repeatedly assured us that the Eee Keyboard will launch this month, priced at around $400.

What do you think -should we consider it a Nettop?
