Thanks to the guys at SCHOLAR APPAREL...Asus Eee Top Touchscreen

CES may have been less well attended than last year, but it was still big enough that many stands went ungraced by the SlashGear team. One I wish we’d called by was Shuttle’s, who were showing off their X50 All-in-One nettop. As has been pointed out, it’s a direct rival to the ASUS Eee Top, only instead of that model’s N270 processor the X50 rocks a 1.6GHz dual-core Atom 330 CPU. Both have a 15.6-inch LCD touchscreen, with the X50’s running at 1,366 x 768, and 1GB of RAM. Where the Eee Top has a 160GB hard-drive, however, Shuttle make do with just 80GB; it does apparently come with XP Pro, though, rather than Home. Chipset is Intel’s 945GC, with GMA 950 graphics.

Ports include at least five USB 2.0, ethernet, audio in/out and a card-reader. The Shuttle X50 All-in-One is expected to go on sale in March 2009, priced at around $499; that makes it around $100 cheaper than the ASUS machine.
