Hi netbooked....just have to ask..why and what was you reason for this setup ?...kind of reminds me of the old webtv 1990's, seems this setup will do about the same as a PC..thanks RZH

Hello, benn thinking about getting one of those to. Thanks for the video!

[super00su]

I want Blue Ray

Can this EEE box be connected to Logitech Z5500 Speakers and get real 5.1 sound?

[misterio835]

just saw you dont own it anymore, thanks for the review anyway :)

[misterio835]

Have you tested this out with Dharma yet? Does dharma have ion support?

[KSmokn]

What kind of cable did you use. I am thinking about getting an Asus Eee Box EB1501 and connecting it to an HDTV. Will a 720p HDTV work too? I know both the tv and computer have hdmi inputs. I am thinking about using an HDMI to HDMI cable.

REMOTE CONTROL MUST BE IN THE DIRECTION ASUS

AND NOT THE SCREEN

[haritoma]

will this output Dolby True HD & DTS Master audio formats?

Hi

Ok, but there is no indication if you can use a remote to play back FILES on your computer, ie files like mp3 or xvid. We saw the remote at the beginning, but can you use it for control of media?

[netbooked]

Yes you can do all that, though the remote can only open up Windows Media Center by default. If you want to use another open you will have navigate by mouse / keyboard, or somehow program the remote (there was no info about this)

[fredphoesh]

ok cool, thanks... and can you play h264 mov files and mkv HD files as well as xvid and divx with windows media centre?

thanks

Mark

[netbooked]

Yes, it handles those formats very well. The XBMC app I was using in the video currently does not support ION graphics out of the box currently though.

the video you played at 4:30 was soo jerky why dont you mention the reason for this after checking it wa not due to CPU usage? What kind of review is this lol?

I mean you unbox, play videos, take the damn thing apart but dont even review it

[netbooked]

1) Video played at 4:30 is not jerky (in video and real life). Checked the video again, looks smooth on my end. Perhaps a problem on your end?

2) Review is in the sidebar. Video review however has some problems that I haven't fixed yet.

3) I don't have this product anymore.

[GBJ83]

im not being rude but i hate your accent its pretty annoying!

anyway I guess it would trouble you too much to try out Seven media centre with 1080p mkvs

Can you use this as a "normal" PC?

Can i use AutoCAD on it or is it not strong enough?

[netbooked]

I have no idea about AutoCAD. It works fine as a PC as long as you don't try to play recent 3D games or do stuff like 3D rendering.

[Milesprower2305]

@AikikaiAikido Yes, you can use Autocad with it. I have a Compaq Mini 311c, wich has the same ION GPU but a lower CPU and i can work with autocad, so this Eee PC will handle Autocad perfectly too, and better! :D
