    The Good: Small design may have some aesthetic appeal; Draft N wireless; pre-Windows ExpressGate lets you browse and do other basics seconds after turning on the power.

    The Bad: Terrible performance and features compared with standard budget desktops; cheap laptop will offer similar capability, space savings, and portability.

    The Bottom Line: Despite a few useful features, the Asus Eee Box is a novelty at best. It can't come close to the same performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, and a low-end laptop can do everything it can do and more. The appeal of Asus' Eee PC does not carry over to the Eee Box.

    Review Summary: The Asus Eee Box B204 is an incredibly compact and surprisingly capable performer, but it's better suited to day-to-day productivity applications than more demanding tasks. The onboard Wi-Fi and battery are welcome additions, but it's a pity that the ...
