Asus
has unveiled HD versions of its Eee Box that it launched in June 2008. The new Eee Box B204 and B206 are equipped with a discrete graphics card that features a high definition hardware video decoder, vastly improving the quality of video and freeing the Eee Box’s processor to tackle other tasks.The Eee Box B204 and B206 come with an exclusive remote control that enables users to easily browse, manage and play their media from a distance. The remote control works seamlessly with Eee Cinema, a user-friendly, all-in-one media player that supports all popular music, video and photo formats.



Belying their small size, the Eee Box B204 and B206 are packed with a wealth of features. They support the latest Wi-Fi 802.11n wireless standard, providing up to eight times faster speeds than the previous 802.11b/g wireless standard. In addition, the Eee Box B204 features Bluetooth for quick and hassle-free connectivity to other Bluetooth devices. Both models also come with 10GB of online Eee Storage, allowing users to access their documents and media no matter where they are. Furthermore, they feature an exclusive Easy Mode within Windows that provides users with convenient access to commonly-used applications.

The Eee Box B204 and B206 is equipped with Asus Tranquiller Technology that integrates an optimized system air flow design, intelligent fan speed control and a unique heat dissipation material in order to allow them to operate coolly at an extremely quiet 26 dB. Moreover, the Eee Box B204 has a built-in battery that performs an Uninterruptible Power Supply (U.P.S.) function, enabling it to stay running for a period of time when main power is lost.

The Eee Box B204 and B206 are priced at approximately Rs. 16,000.

Here in Madurai, they have boxes of the EEE Box at stores, but they informed that it was only display cases, the actual product was yet to hit the stores and they were not sure when it would... Since I was looking to purchase it only a little later, I did not press for a detailed reply.
