Asus Eee Box Sold Out in Taiwan

Just like the Asus Eee PC when it was first released, the first batch of the Eee Box in Taiwan has sold out since the July 30th launch date. That’s pretty amazing – 1,000 units gone in approximately 5 days. This bodes well for Asus and their bottomline, but will the Eee Box have an impact as great on the home desktop market as with how the Eee PC kickstarted the whole netbook mania? We shall see. I must commend Asus for making affordable, entry level PCs even cheaper for the masses – surely developing countries with not much purchasing power will settle for the Asus brand instead of something more established and expensive.
