Where netbooks go, their deskbound nettop brethren eventually follow, and as NVIDIA’s Ion GPU has made its impact on the graphics capabilities of budget ultraportables, so it has its sights set on compact desktops too. ASRock and NVIDIA worked together on the ION 330-BD, a Blu-ray toting nettop that pairs Intel’s Atom processor with NVIDIA’s ION platform, and sent one over to prove to SlashGear that just because the footprint is small, it doesn’t mean the performance is too.
Lenovo’s growing Idea-series of notebooks and desktops is joined by this, the IdeaCentre C300. A range of budget all-in-ones, the C300 packs a 20-inch display, DVD drive and serious levels of storage and RAM; however they also adopt Intel’s low-power Atom processors. Disappointing mismatch, or bargain second machine? Check out the full SlashGear review to find out.
Acer's Veriton N260G has been launched in the US, shortly after its arrival in the UK, but unfortunately the company hasn't seen fit to slot in the NVIDIA Ion GPU while it chugged across the Atlantic. The Veriton N260G-U2802CP still packs Intel's 1.6GHz Atom N280 processor, paired with 2GB of RAM and a 160GB hard-drive, but unlike its Aspire Revo consumer cousin the business-focussed N260G uses Intel GMA 4500M graphics.

The ASUS EeeTop ET2002T first shown back in June at Computex has apparently made its official debut in France, with Blogeee spotting the full spec-list and some press shots. As expected, the ET2002T brings with it a 20-inch 1,600 x 900 touchscreen display along with a DVD burner and - most interestingly - NVIDIA's Ion GPU.

Acer are working on three touch-enabled devices, according to a project manager from their mobile computer department, which will take advantage of Windows 7's native touchscreen support. While no specific product details were mentioned, the employee did suggest that touch-sensitive netbooks could better take market share if they were positioned as "cheaper alternatives to tablet PCs", which may indicate that one or more of the Acer devices are just such a netbook.

Dell's latest mini-desktop, the Inspiron Zino HD, has broken cover, but the company obviously has some blackmail-quality information about Engadget and Gizmodo as neither site are spilling the details of what's inside the low-profile box. Known so far is that there's an optical drive, plenty of ports and interchangeable top covers with various patterns and finishes.

A whole lot bigger than the IdeaCentre Q700, but ironically packing less potent components, the Lenovo IdeaCentre C300 is the company's entry-level all-in-one and relies on Intel's Atom 230 or 330 1.6GHz CPU for its (limited) grunt. Over at Nettop Review they've been unboxing the 20-inch widescreen nettop, finding that while it may lack power, it doesn't cut corners on build quality.

A reasonably stylish all-in-one with a sub-$400 price-tag and 18.5-inch widescreen display: too good to be true or bargain of the century? The eMachines EZ1601-01 poaches Intel’s trusty Atom processor for some desktop duty, offering a squint-free LCD and full-sized peripherals. SlashGear have been testing it out.
Earlier this year we covered the launch of HP’s latest Intel Nehalem-based workstations, and soon enough HP had a Z400 test unit for us to try out. The entry-point to the new range, the Z400 misses out on some of the more innovative design features of its bigger siblings, but arguably the most important thing – the Xeon processor – is there front and center. Read on for our benchmarks and impressions.
TriGem have updated their Averatec D1100-series 18.4-inch desktop all-in-one, by dropping in AMD's 1.5GHz Athlon X2 3250e low-voltage processor. Sitting alongside the existing Intel Atom N270 machines in the D1100-series, the AMD-based Averatec D1133AH1E-1 has 2GB of RAM and a 250GB hard-drive.
