The new EeeBox models aim to perfect the initial concept and overcome some weaknesses.
The ATI Radeon HD3400 with 256MB of dedicated RAM memory will allow full HD video reproduction, while the B202 model could not archieve that task. It will also open the way to more recent video games, and a broader use of the EeeStick.
With a remote control and an HDMI port, Asus had in mind the easy connection to an HD television.
The B204 model will have a built in battery functioning as a UPS. Well, it can save your work if a power failure occurs, or protect hardware from voltage variations, but it will inflate the EeeBox’s cost.
Windows XP is the only OS announced on the new models. Pricing informations and release date have not been revealed yet.
