ASUS Eee Keyboard On Video

Movies needs captioning, keyboard needs to be on my desk riggght now...
 
Now IF the screen was on the top instead of on the side I might be interested.

Having to look over at the screen seems like it would be really annoying.

And, if the screen was on top, it would need to be able to tilt.

And.. it would be REALLY nice if the unit could detach from the keyboard.

Oh.. wait... that is what a regular PDA is like.

Pass.
 
I'm thinking this will be an HTPC all-in-one controller. The touchpad can have icons displayed - press one and you get TV, Blu-Ray player, music, whatever.

Then, use the touchscreen as a mouse and control the cursor that way. It would be interfacing with your HTPC.
 
I can't understand a damn thing that guy is saying.

Computer in a keyboard, wow, why didn't anyone think of this before, it will revolutionize the industry.

Neither could I, but then I can't ever understand anyone when I call for an RMA either. I just take stabs in the dark and guess until I hear "Ok You RMA number is ....." :D

Are you being sarcastic about it being a computer in a keyboard... cause minus the poorly placed screen, that is what early Commodore, Tandy, Timex, etc. computers were..

I seem to remember reading that it's supposed to be capable of being the htpc, and has wireless hdmi or something. Not sure what you're supposed to do about storage, though.

That's what the built in 3TB Raid 5 SSD is for ;)

Looks cool...no idea how practical it actually is.

Yup, we've gone full circle :D

I really liked my Amiga1200, upgraded with a 40 MHz CPU, 18MB of RAM, 4x CDROM and a 1GB hard drive :p
 
So is this going to feed the TV wirelessly? I can't imagine having a DVI or HDMI cable running from the PC to the TV....
 
So, is it a keyboard with an aux monitor you can use with your PC or is it a cheap keyboad with a built in PDA, which would be stupid IMO.
 
Lemme see here... I put my Dell Axim X50v right next to the keypad of my trusty old (and I do mean old) IBM "built like a tank" PS/2 keyboard... wow, it's almost exactly the same thing I just saw in that video.

Moving on... ;)
 
I'm Japanese and that guy shouldn't be speaking English.

I can think of a couple creative ways to use that keyboard but thats about it.
 
It is a cool idea but I just think that there is no use for this device at all. It's too big to be really portable and it's not really powerful enough for stationary use. HTPC-ers might find some use from it, but I wouldn't personally market a device with this kind of a niche market.

Aside from that, I want one.:D

Based on his last name (nice one at that) he is Chinese. I'm also Asian and I could not make out his words too.
All I hear is "computer" "keyboard" "here"......
 
Smooth and stylish design, not bad ASUS. But I really must have a numeric keypad at my disposal. One that I can use without looking at my hand while operating it (which I would have to using a touch surface).
 
Looks nice but not really useful for much. I guess if your computer is broken you can play games on your keyboard instead :D

Up until now, I've thought it was pronounced like a-sis, not a-soos.

Me too. Then a guy at work said ASUS....and I thought he was nuts...then one day i did a search and found out he was right. Nevertheless, until now, I'd never heard anyone call it Asoos in the U.S. But from now on, it's Dr. Asoos for me ;)
