ASUS Massively Expands SplashTop Boards

Written by Michael Larabel in Hardware on 14 May 2008 at 12:03 PM EDT. 9 Comments

ASUS has announced today that they have expanded their selection of SplashTop-enabled motherboards by four with the introduction of the ASUS P5Q motherboard family. In addition, it has been announced by ASUS that they plan to roll-out SplashTop on their "entire motherboard product portfolio, starting with over one million motherboards per month." Congratulations to the DeviceVM folks and the Linux community with this being a major win. The announcement came down today in the form of a press release. Last October, Phoronix was the first website to talk thoroughly about SplashTop, which is an embedded instant-on Linux desktop environment. In addition, we continue to talk about SplashTop and forthcoming features in other articles.
