Touching, not touching

The Top of the Asus eee PC is designed putting the touch screen desktops. The question is why should it

Computer on Top of the ASUS eee is the kind of thing they invented the term "mixed feelings".

From such a product it is hard not get excited, but at the same time it's also really hard to feel it will adopt computing solutions dominate thoughts of home. Looks like this when taking some conceptual elements and combine them for one product in the end is not clear what the computer needs it serves.With the frequency of Ahsmartpunim Vhalptofim based on touch screen, it was clear it was only a matter of time until it reached the stage in which we see the Fitch also see that appears stationary computers inexpensive. ASUS will also this idea would lead to this change does not sound a coupon, because this is also a computing revolution has already led one, which led to the Hentabokym helped redefine the mobile PC market. ASUS has been released desktop PCs with touch screen, and now she brings a new model series of the eee Top - overall capabilities, including a multi - touch.

Steve was hereFirst look at eee Top conclusion leads someone Bassus soon learned in school design in the name of Steve Jobs. PC-style layout has evidence showing Apple. Is elegant, clean, round and shiny. His point, however, is different - black and white instead of Apple's famous. At first glance be mistaken only on the screen (size 20 inches). In fact - the second observation will not necessarily understand that this is basically an entire computer - because the package retains the thin size which does not give external expression to the fact that hiding behind the screen all the components of the ordinary desktop computer (if mentioned Apple - they do not forget this style computers years). In addition, on the right hides the DVD burner.Appearance of the eee Top impressive and does not feel like working on it. Few would pass the Ministry of Walla! TECH not stopped to examine the product, play with little to lose eventually "might give it to me?". After admiring the beauty comes a point where starting to actually work with your computer. Top the eee comes with the operating system Windows 7 (64 bit) and relatively weak hardware specifications, more reminiscent Natbuakim. As these weak computers, even here there is an Intel Atom processor (the relatively new D510 model) at 1.66 Gygiahrc only. Rather handsome amount of memory - 4 GB - B, the hard disk is 500 gigabytes - certainly enough to work fluently, but it is doubtful enough to make him want media center computer.Nothing shouts "bad" or "excellent" standard work on the computer. It provides an experience of a computer Yun standard medium that you can surf the Internet with office software and run without problems, but no one really intended for heavy software or games.
Beauty

 But it is likely that whoever buys the Top the eee will not do it after deliberation between him and another computer Yun normal, but will make the specific purchase mostly because of the touch screen. For this screen there are two main issues:The main issue is how it works. The answer in this case is quite good. Is sensitive enough but not too much and missing responses. He is not prone to shifting them there was no intention from the user (accidental light touch, for example) on the other hand allows easy movement-oriented (I even used to scroll finger joints only). Here and there need to touch or shake again with slightly more delay - but it does not happen burdensome amounts. The virtual keyboard is included to increase, reduction and placement in the various screen optional. Using it works well - even Achshmkelidym it with a finger of one hand and when to do it with the fingers of both hands. Get used to typing like that is way fast, and if convenience will never reach that of the standard keyboard (it comes with the computer quite pleasant to use) - is definitely usable and allows to write texts of several sentences without it Icven. Long text, however, I would not write her.The second issue regarding the touch screen is not touch this directly to your computer, but the concept itself - who really need it, and for what? While the wireless device clear what such a screen adds convenience, a computer designed to stand on the table - hard to find it. Again and again I found out after several minutes of total use touch screen (the opening and closing programs, typing, clicking links, etc.) - I prefer to return to normal keyboard and mouse actions and perform with the navigation. These are carried out more quickly. The mouse cursor, in turn, always be less accurate than finger on the screen - even if it's not a chubby finger. When you want, for example, click on links to sites written in small font - should tune in carefully so as not to miss the target. In addition, the need to move the arm and the hand toward the screen and click again and again is not something better in any way for the use of the classic. Because of these reasons, to think and figure out what value added has a touch screen desktop computer.
Crowded houses a computer?

 One possible option is a computer that should be used as a kind of Media Center. A stand next to a home stereo will include countless media files, the user simply presses with his finger on the screen to activate them. But even this form is more convenient than regular Media Center remote control, working with and allows to choose between the files and run them off the couch.A second possibility is custom touch games. Christians are already Hayipnene Vhayiped such devices, there is no reason not to touch games industry will develop desktop, you've applied Feature see and touch screen size. The point is that computer games are serious too weak, so will have to settle for basic games that do not take up too many system resources.A third option would be to position the eee Top computer as people who do not have much room in the house. Because it does not include a separate entity, can this computer be ideal for those all important foot in the apartment he prefers to be one of the computer screen. Moreover, such people also can use the computer as a substitute for TV device, screen size and works as being HD (maximum resolution of 1600X900) can be an alternative, as long as you are willing to give up screen size satisfied with the quality. The eee Top entry comes with HDMI will provide high-quality broadcast signal, and with the option to insert memory cards USB devices including media viewing.We watched the video quality in our attempts with the computer was definitely worth (the video card is NVIDIA ION Next generation). Received a clear picture with video files (AVI type) and surfing You Tube - including high-resolution videos. His sound, however, is weak and flat (as expected on a thin thin speaker) there is no doubt that whoever wants to use it as a tool for multimedia will have to connect external speakers better quality.
Strong beauty, weak hardware

 ASUS terms, it seems that it is gimmick Peach R contact, and doing what she can to emphasize it. Computer comes with widgets and software designed to play with different Peach R (eg writing on the screen with a finger print and makes me) and links to several games with a touch that can be downloaded from the network and play them. ASUS also emphasizes the suitability of multimedia product, which includes the ASUS @ The Vibe - The total number of service Internet radio stations computer connects them lightly.Using Top-eee was definitely fun. The point is who buys usually expect from a desktop computer more fun.
