Asus has integrated VESA compatible holes, so you will be able to fix the EeeTop to a wall. A great option for shops for example, customers could place orders or choose between products, while the computer will be harder to steal (it also supports a kensington lock system).
Speaking of the 15.6″ display, Asus integrated touchscreen capabilities, both stylus and fingers can be used with the device.
The Intel Atom based platform will also provide a low power consumption, like with the EeeBox, continuing the green computing line.
The new computer will come with Windows XP and a carbon copy of the Xandros Linux easy mode interface that could be found on the first EeePC.

The EeeTop, with its sleek looks, multimedia and touchscreen capabilities, might represent an interesting secondary computer, depending on the final price.
