ASUS today unveiled the Eee Top ET16 Series of all-in-one touchscreen computers that boast the full functionality of regular desktop PCs at just the fraction of the footprint. Equipped with 15.6″ five-wired resistive touch panels, the new Eee Top ET1602 and Eee Top ET1603 enable users to manipulate what they see onscreen by applying direct pressure with their fingertips, greatly enhancing the interactivity and simplicity of performing daily computing tasks.

The benefits of having a foolproof, touch-responsive interface are myriad, allowing anyone in the family-regardless of computer proficiency-to experience the convenience and excitement of computing. For example, family members can scribble memos to each other, input text via handwriting recognition or a virtual keyboard, and navigate web pages-all with just their fingertips! These examples only touch the surface of what the Eee Top ET16 Series is capable of. Each Eee Top ET16 Series computer comes with a comprehensive suite of touch-optimized applications spanning productivity, entertainment and communications-enabling users to do virtually anything, easily.

Although housed in a compact LCD monitor form factor, the Eee Top ET16 Series offers a rich complement of features, such as Wi-Fi 802.11n connectivity for speedy and reliable Internet access, built-in high fidelity speakers for crystal clear audio and an integrated 1.3 megapixel web camera and microphone array for convenient web conferencing.

Simple Setup and Ease of Use

In keeping with the core tenet of Eee, which is ease of use, Eee Top ET16 Series touchscreen computers are exceedingly quick and simple to set up-just attach a power cord, and they are ready for use. They are also exceptionally easy to use. Catering to users new to Windows® who would appreciate the simplicity afforded by an icon-driven, touch-and-select interface, Eee Top ET16 Series touchscreen computers feature an exclusive Easy Mode within Windows® that allows users to locate and access commonly-used applications easily within streamlined and readily-accessible menus. This makes Windows® immediately intuitive to users with the most meager of computing experience, including children.

Contributing greatly to the Eee Top ET16 Series‘ simplicity of use are its preinstalled applications, many of which are tailored for touch panels. Eee Memo, for example, enables users to write messages for their family members on desktop ‘stickies’ with just their fingers. SoftStylus allows them to input text without requiring a physical keyboard-it recognizes handwriting* and also offers a virtual keyboard as an alternative. Surfing the Internet is also possible without a mouse, thanks to Opera Touch, a rich-featured web browser enhanced for touchscreen use that supports drag-and-drop functions, widgets and ‘speed dialing’.

Optimized Design and Flexibility of Placement

Owing to the need to fit full functionality into such a sleek casing, the designers behind the Eee Top ET16 Series carefully considered the use of every iota of space. The result is an optimized product design that is as elegant as it is attractive. This philosophy of optimization is best evidenced in details such as the system’s carrying handle, which also serves as a keyboard** holder. Another example would be the cooling system-collectively known as ASUS Tranquiller Technology-that utilizes an optimized blend of astute air flow design, quiet fans and unique heat dissipation materials to ensure that the system stays cool while operating at an extremely quiet 26 dB***.

Given their compact form factor and near-silent operation, Eee Top ET16 Series touchscreen computers can be placed virtually anywhere in a house, office or commercial space without being obtrusive or distracting. Their clean and modern looks ensure that they will blend in nicely with contemporary interiors, even functioning as talking pieces and points of convergence in home settings such as the kitchen, living room and study. They are also highly portable, and can be moved from room to room with the greatest of ease. A user surfing the Internet in the study could, for example, move it to the living room via its carrying handle and set it up in seconds for an online yoga class.

The beauty of the Eee Top ET16 Series is that it not only enhances the interaction between user and computer, it also encourages more interactivity between users in household settings. Possible usage scenarios include homemakers searching for food recipes in the kitchen and friends browsing through their music collections in the bedroom. The Eee Top ET16 Series is the key to unlocking the door to truly ‘touching’ moments.

Powerful Multimedia Capabilities

Eee Top ET16 Series touchscreen computers are fully-capable entertainment centers. The 15.6″ widescreen (16:9) LCDs**** are sharp and vibrant, bolstered by Eee Splendid^TM Video Intelligence Technology that ensures the Eee Top’s display remains vivid and clear regardless of environmental lighting. Users will also enjoy high quality audio throughout-without the need for additional speakers-thanks to the integrated Hi-Fi speakers and SRS TruSurround HD^TM technology.

For added graphics power, the Eee Top ET1603 features a discrete ATI Mobility Radeon HD3450 graphics solution, enabling the system to run graphically-intensive 3D applications and games more fluidly.

Tying in all of the Eee Top ET16 Series touchscreen computers’ multimedia capabilities is Eee Cinema, a full-featured multimedia center that enhances the user’s enjoyment of photos, videos, music and movies. Offering a user interface that is akin to that found in consumer set-tops, Eee Cinema puts the ability to browse, select and play all of the user’s media at his or her fingertips.

About ASUS

ASUS is a leading company in the new digital era. With a global staff of more than eight thousand and a world-class R&D design team, the company’s turnover for 2007 was 6.9 billion U.S. dollars. ASUS ranks among the top 10 IT companies in BusinessWeek‘s “InfoTech 100″, and has been on the listing for 11 consecutive years. ASUS was also selected by the Wall Street Journal Asia as No.1 in quality and service in Taiwan.

Philippines, January 21, 2009 – ASUS today launched the Eee PC™ S101, an exquisitely designed netbook for fashion forward individuals who view style as as much of a factor of success as substance. The Eee PC™ S101 builds upon the industry-pioneering form factor, ergonomics and features of its predecessors but boasts a wholly reforged exterior in three gorgeous colors-Brown, Champagne or Graphite-accentuated with delightful details such as premium Infusion finishes and crystal-adorned hinges, a successful melding of fashion and functionality that easily situates it at the pinnacle of netbook computing.

Fashion-on-the-go Made Eeeasy

With its elegant styling and slender profile, the Eee PC™ S101 cuts a striking profile that complements any sartorial ensemble. Its unique colors emanate confidence, success and dynamism, and its incredible portability-weighing a mere 1 kg and svelter than most fashion magazines at just 1.8 cm-enables users to carry themselves with effortless grace, without the slouching and strain that often plagues users of regular notebooks. Its fantastic slimness, which has an uncanny ability to snare attention, enables it to tuck easily into most bags.

Substance in Equal Measure

Its head-turning looks and astounding portability aside, the Eee PC™ S101 is equally impressive in terms of features. It supports Wi-Fi 802.11n, enabling high speed Internet access virtually anywhere. It also features Bluetooth V2.0, ensuring fast and convenient connectivity with a vast range of Bluetooth-enabled devices.

Every Eee PC™ S101 comes with an encrypted 30 GB Internet storage facility known as Eee Storage, allowing users to store and subsequently access their important documents and media securely whenever, wherever. Also keeping users´ data safe and sound is the Eee PC™ S101´s shockproof Solid State Drive (SSD) which maintains the integrity of the stored data even when subjected to knocks and shocks. The SSD has further advantages over traditional hard disk drives, such as silent operation and reduced energy consumption. The SSD comes in capacities of up to 64 GB. Rounding off the Eee PC™ S101´s comprehensive storage capabilities is an integrated 4-in-1 flash card reader that supports more formats than other Eee PC™ models. The supported flash memory types are MMC, SD, Memory Stick and MS-PRO.

The Eee PC™ S101 is also equipped with a vibrant 10.2″ wide active matrix LED-backlit display which is capable of running at WSVGA resolution, thus providing more-than-ample space for viewing documents and perusing other media.

Long Five-hour Battery Life with Super Hybrid Engine

The Eee PC™ S101 features the exclusive Super Hybrid Engine (SHE) which greatly enhances its energy efficiency, letting users enjoy longer battery life per charge-enabling up to five hours of continuous use-thus eliminating the need to lug power adapters along with them. SHE also offers a choice of performance and power consumption modes that allow users to make quick and easy adjustments to suit their usage scenarios.

Choice of Operating Systems

Catering to users across the full spectrum of experience levels, the Eee PC™ S101 is available with either Microsoft® Windows® or GNU Linux. The Microsoft Windows version offers users with moderate to substantial computing experience with more configuration avenues and a wider spread of applications. The incorporation of Windows Live^TM Messenger and Windows Live Mail ensures that all of the user´s communication needs are fully met, and the inclusion of Microsoft Works equips the user with the ability to work efficiently while out of the office. Less experienced users, on the other hand, will appreciate the icon-driven, point-and-click simplicity offered by the Linux version. An additional boon of the Linux version is that it comes with over 50 preinstalled applications that span learning, productivity and entertainment uses.
