The Acer Hornet NVIDIA Ion-based nettop we spotted back in February has just had an extra shot of authenticity, in the shape of an SKU sheet detailing the three different versions planned. Designed to grip tenaciously to the back of a flatscreen display, the Hornet supports 1080p playback, HDMI and, in the Media Center incarnation, a Wiimote-style wireless controller. Full spec breakdown after the cut.
The Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 all-in-one desktop PC is now available to order, offering a 21.5-inch 1920 x 1080 16:9 HD-display, slot-loading DVD or Blu-Ray drive and a range of Intel Core 2 Duo processors. First announced back at CES 2009 in January, the IdeaCentre A600 is apparently the world’s slimmest all-in-one PC.
ASUS’ Eee Keyboard remains one of the more interesting diversions in the Eee PC line-up, and in advance of the all-in-one media PC’s June launch we’re scouting out all the video of it we can. UMPC Portal caught up with the Eee Keyboard back at CeBIT and gave us a good all-round video overview.

Dell’s own support site has once again tipped a few as-yet unannounced upcoming products, in this case what looks to be a netbook-rivaling version of the new Dell Adamo and a larger version of last week’s Dell Studio One 19. The document lists the Dell Adamo 9, presumably a 9-inch version of the 13-inch Adamo confirmed today, and the Dell Studio One 22, a 22-inch version of the All-In-One PC.
Dell USA have officially announced the Dell Studio One 19 All-in-One PC seen earlier on their Japanese site, as well as confirming that the optional-multitouch desktop will reach the US in the Spring. The PC starts at $699, and will be available with processors from a Celeron 450 to a Core 2 Quad Q8200.
Dell Japan have announced a new, touch-capable all-in-one desktop PC, the Dell Studio One 19. Based around an 18.5-inch 16:9 1366 x 768 LCD – with a choice of standard or touch-panel – the Studio One 19 can be configured with Intel Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad processors, up to 4GB of RAM and up to 750GB hard-drive.
After the Eee Box 206 from last week, ASUS have confirmed their latest HD-capable nettop, the ASUS Eee Box B208. Outfitted with Intel’s 1.6GHz dual-core Atom 330 processor and 1GB of RAM, the Eee Box B208 also gets ATI Radeon HD 4350 graphics with 256MB of video memory and an HDMI output.
Averatec have announced pricing and specifications for their 18.4-inch and 22-inch All-In-One desktop PCs. The 18.4-inch model, shown here, has a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM (2GB maximum), a 2.5-inch 160GB 5,400rpm HDD and DVD burner. There’s also five USB 2.0 ports, ethernet, WiFi b/g, a VGA output and integrated 1.3-megapixel webcam, plus an optional wireless keyboard.

As vast remote controls go, this one will take some beating. Cobbled together from an already pretty large Brookstone universal remote and two Dance Dance Revolution play mats, the end result is one of the biggest Windows Media Center controllers we’ve seen.

MSI brought along their 20-inch Wind Top AE2010 all-in-one PC to CeBIT 2009, and while it might look like an inflated ASUS Eee Top there’s a whole lot more to it. Fronted by a 1600 x 900 touchscreen, the MSI Wind Top AE2010 has a built-in UVD (Universal Video Decoder) for high-definition playback.
