Asus Eee Keyboard uses a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, that is believed to be the Z520,
with 1GB of DDR2 memory and a choice of 16GB or 32GB SSD storage. There’s also WiFi b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.0, plus Wireless for HDMI.
In terms of hardware ports, there’s an HDMI, three USB 2.0 and VGA, together with audio in/out.
The asus eee keyboard weighs around 900g. ASUS eee keyboard uses touchscreen as a multi-function multimedia remote, as well as a browser, media player and calculator.
The Asus Eee Keyboard, which should be on sale by September, is essentially a very attractive shiny metal strip with individually inset keys, and a familiar set of video, audio and USB ports around the back. Next to the keyboard is a 5in touchscreen, which displays either the Windows desktop or a suite of bespoke media controls.
As innovative as this is, the real magic lies in getting the output to your TV. As well as all the usual wireless and connectivity, the Eee Keyboard also has high bandwidth, Ultra-Wideband Wireless HDMI built in. A simple adapter in the back of your TV should be enough to get your movies on the big screen.
The biggest concern at the moment is battery life. Right now the prototype is capable of about an hour and a half, which means it'll cut out before most movies are finished. Asus estimates that the final version will last for at least three hours.
The price is still not officially out as most are eager to know.
