Asus iMac knockoff revealed (sort of)

PC World editor (and really good guy) Danny Allen reports from Taiwan:

Computex: Asus has offered the first look at what its upcoming all-in-one desktop may look like, and shown an Eee family roadmap featuring previously unannounced products alongside the Eee Box B202 mini PC and 42-inch LCD Eee TV. Here’s the all-telling slide that I snapped at the Asus TekTrend Seminar in Taipei’s Grand Hotel today:

As was the case earlier in the week, ASUS made no comment on the Eee Monitor’s price or configuration, but reports from earlier in the year suggest a 19 to 21-inch screen size, built-in TV tuner and a starting pricing of around $500. Apple’s iMac starts at $1,199. The Eee Monitor should be available sometime in September.

Hold the phone -- based on what you say and what that pic shows) this just is a MONITOR with a TV tuner in it (like a bunch of others), NOT a computer, so the comparison to an iMac does not make a lot of sense.

No, the EE monitor is a computer.
