EEE Keyboard will appear in Europe and USA in october. This is another interesting device from Asustek, and we’ll take a closer look at it.

The Eee Keyboard looks like a computer keyboard. It also has a 5-inch touchscreen on the right-hand side of the board, and all the device components are located inside it. Screen size is too little, that’s why it is supposed that the device will be connected to an external display.

Asustek declared the device to be for household use. “We want to make the product useful for many things in the house, the home PC and LCD TV, for example,” said Jerry Shen, CEO of Asustek. It really should be much smaller than an usual home PC, so the only factor that could limit its usage is the price.

The Eee Keyboard has all major interfaces: Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.0 and Ultra Wideband HDMI, in addition to ports for a number of connections, including USB 2.0, a VGA port, HDMI ports, and connections for speakers (headphones) and microphones.

EEE Keyboard has a 1.6GHz Intel Atom microprocessor inside, 1GB of DDR2 DRAM and an on-board 16GB or 32GB SSD (solid state drive) to store data. There is no information about video yet, but I suppose it won’t be great for such a device.

Device weight is 1.1 Kg, just like an EEE 901. It should appear in the shops around the world at October, 22, among with the appearance of Windows 7. The price is expected to be between $400 and $500, that’s quite expensive but EEE keyboard represents something new and I think they will sell a good amount of these devices.
