Asus Touchscreen Eee Keyboard Full Spec Outed by FCC

by Jay Garrett on October 12, 2009

eee-keyboard-fccpictureNow that the Asus EeeBoard has braved the intimate inspection of the FCC we can now gawp at the full innards of the Keyboard-cum-Computer.

Underneath the 5 inch 800×480 pixel touch of the ASUS Eee Keyboard EK1542 lies the Windows XP Home OS chugging away on an Intel Atom N270, 945GSE / ICH7-M chipset with Broadcom AV-VD905 video decoder, 1GB of DDR2 memory, coupled with either 16GB or 32GB of flash storage.

You’ll also get a 4 hour battery, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, gigabit Ethernet, HDMI and VGA outputs, integrated stereo speakers and mic, 3x USB, headphone and mic jacks, and external WiFi / UWB antenna.

The Eeeboard’s on-board Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is capable of chucking 720p content to your TV within a 5 meter range (10-meters for non-video transmissions) via a UWB receiver that also packs 2 USB ports, another mini-USB port, audio out, and HDMI.

If you’re feeling flashy you can even hook up to two external monitors at the same time using UWB and either VGA or HDMI cable.

The only thing that’s missing is that important shelf date folks!

C’mon Asus!

More pics and stuff can be enjoyed here :)
