What is it:
Tiny media-oriented desktop PC with Atom CPU

What we think:
Hugely stylish but fairly limited in its range of functions

We like:
Design; quiet operation; price

We don't like:
Lacklustre performance; small hard drive; can't play 1080p Full HD video

The judgement:
The Eee Box is rather a mixed bag. It's not powerful enough to challenge the vast majority of desktops on the market and, as a Media Center PC, it's only mediocre. Despite this, we think it's worthy of consideration - particularly because it's so cheap
