Asus has been known for bringing the most innovative computer products to date. During the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show, the people behind Asus revealed its latest pet project, a fully-functional PC crammed inside a QWERTY keyboard.
The Asus EEE Keyboard is powered by Intel Atom processor and has a wide selection of USB and video ports around the back, with solid state hard disk and Wi-Fi connectivity. The keyboard also has a 5-inch touch screen at the side, displaying a suite of media controls or a Windows desktop, as well as an Ultra-Wideband Wireless HDMI port, which can be used for streaming films and video from the keyboard to your HDTV.
The idea behind integrating a PC inside a keyboard is that you do not need an additional computer monitor to perform. All you need is to attach your integrated keyboard with a high-definition television and it is as good as a monitor, thereby saving money and space. The EEE keyboard is expected to have a battery life of about three hours. Although an optical drive is not included in this keyboard, Asus told the tech press that a range of themed peripherals will be launched following the EEE keyboards official release, allegedly in September 2009.
