Sure NVIDIA’s Ion 2 is all the rage right now, but ASUS still has a few tricks left in store for the progenitor nettop GPU. The EeeBox EB1501U sports a typical nettop processor — in this case, the older Diamondville Intel Atom 330 dual core — with Ion One, and as an added bonus, there’s USB 3.0 support. Also under the hood? A 2.5-inch, 320GB HDD, DVD drive, and 802.11b/g/n WiFi. As for the other home theater PC box, the EeeMedia EM0501 isn’t quite as exciting — just a 800MHz Samsung ARM processor, a variety of codec supports, and HDMI out. Still, given history, it’s a pretty solid addition. Pricing and availability? Your guess is as good as ours for now. Enjoy the pictures for the time being.
