Asus rumored to launch Eee Top all-in-one PC tomorrow, beginning at $499

We have recently seen the official announcement of the MSI Wind Neton and now we are seeing reports that Asus will be launching their competing all-in-one desktop as early as tomorrow. The Asus all-in-one desktop PC is the Eee Top, and it comes in two models, the ET1602 and the ET1603. The announcement is expected to come during an Asus news conference on November 20.

As for the specs, the ET1602 features a 15.9-inch touchscreen, a 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, Wi-Fi 802.11, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, and a pair of built-in speakers. The ET1603 will offer similar features as the ET1602 but has a better (ATI HD3450) graphics card along with a battery. Of course, the ET1603 weighs in at 9.7-pounds, and given that it seems the battery would serve more as a backup in case of a power loss, than provide for portability.

Still unknown is the pricing, although Asus CEO Jerry Shen did mention in the past that it would be a low priced device. As for the actual availability, hopefully we will find that out, along with the official pricing tomorrow.
