It was initially expected that the price would be between $ 400-$600, and that has come true – the price, for now, seems to be $599 on pre-order, but that might come down when the Asus Eee Keyboard PC is available in retail stores.
The device was first put on display at the Consumer Electronics Show 2010 with the announcement of a February launch. Asus is yet to declare a date when the shipping of pre-ordered Eee Keyboard PC would begin.

The Asus Eee Keyboard PC consists of a full-fledged home entertainment PC fitted into a QWERTY keyboard. Yes, it is a complete PC in the shape of a keyboard! The keyboard comes with a small 5-inch multi-touch LED screen with a resolution of 800×480. The screen can be used as a mousepad to move the cursor. It can also display the user interface that allows users to access music and other content on the device. Quick launch keys and shortcuts can also be displayed on the screen.
How do you use the Asus Eee Keyboard PC? Just plug in any computer monitor, HDTV or projector and use it as you will. The Eee Keyboard PC can stream HD videos with 720p resolution over a 5-metre range through Ultra Wide Band Wireless Display. It also enables high speed and capacity data transfers and serves as a reliable link to another device.
What we were interested in were the specifications of the Asus Eee Keyboard PC. Just how uch horsepower has this baby got? The processor of the keyboard computer is an Atom N270 CPU combined with an Intel 945GSE chipset. The Eee Keyboard PC has 1 GB of internal memory with provision to add upto 32 GB of SSD external memory. Multimedia hardware such as speakers and a mic are also built into the device with an 802.11 bgn WiFi , Bluetooth and a Broadcom decoder for video as well. Three USB 2.0 ports and a HDMI and VGA out are also present in the Asus Eee Keyboard PC. The on-board battery can power the gadget for a period of 4 hours.
That is reasonable specs, for sure. You don’t expect the Asus Eee keyboard PC to run Crysis, I am sure. But the rest it should be able to handle. We will have to wait for the first reviews to come in, though, to make up our minds about the Keyboard PC. We really, really, hope it is good. In 2009, some of the major tech blogs had got their grimy hands on the Asus Eee Keyboard PC for a few minutes, and they were quite amazed.
The Asus Eee Keyboard PC, weighing 1.1 kg comes with an aluminum cover and its underside is coated with UV. Amazon.com has put a price on the product for pre-order at $599.
