Here’s some more all-in-one PC info for you, just in case you like that kind of thing. Shuttle has gone ahead and introduced a new version of their X500 line up, which still rocks that “ultra-thin” veneer. This time around, we’ve got a new OS for you, and it comes preloaded for your out-of-the-box using pleasure. It’s a touchscreen too, so that has to count for something, considering that’s all the rage right now, even for computers.
Another week has come and gone leaving us with memories and a hoard of cool stories to throw your way for weekend reading in case you missed them over the week. An Asus 900HA netbook was hacked into a touchscreen slate on Monday and we really liked it. DIY gear is so cool, especially when it turns out this good. Monday also brought some details on the Blackberry Storm 2 piezo touchscreen tech. We really hope its better than the original Storm.
Shuttle are best known for their small-form-factor (SFF) desktop PCs and barebone systems, but according to the latest rumors swirling around the unnamed “market sources” of Taipei they’re considering branching out into netbooks. To do that, so DigiTimes suggest, they’re not taking the arduous high-road of locking themselves in the lab and seeing what they can come up with, but instead are allegedly planning to poach a 40-strong team from rivals Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS).
Shuttle have announced a barebone version of their X50 all-in-one PC, offering buyers the choice to install the storage and memory they prefer. The X50 – announced officially back in March - has a 15.6-inch 1366 x 768 16:9 resistive touchscreen and Intel’s Atom 330 dual-core processor; in its barebone form it comes devoid of RAM or hard-drive.
Shuttle have announced a new barebones mini-PC, the SA76G2, designed for AMD socket AM3 processors and capable of taking up to 8GB of DDR2 RAM. The 30 x 20 18.5 cm enclosure is backward compatible with AM2 and AM2+, and comes complete with ATI Radeon 3000 onboard graphics.
VIA and Shuttle have put together the latter’s first SSF (small form factor) PC based on the former’s Nano processor. The Shuttle XS29F pairs the Nano U1700 CPU with VIA’s VX800 media system processor, meaning that unlike many nettops the XS29F has both VGA and DVI Dual video outputs.

Shuttle Europe have announced the all-in-one X 5000TA touchscreen nettop, the European version of the of the Shuttle X50, together with their plans to expand the range. The Shuttle X 5000TA packs a 15.6-inch 1,366 x 768 touchscreen, Intel Atom 330 processor and 1GB of memory, despite measuring just 3.6cm thick.
Shuttle has announced a new duel-core nettop for consumers: the X270V. The box is running SUSE Linux on Intel dual-core Atom 330 CPU’s with each core clocked at 1.6 GHz. The machine can hold up to 2GB of DDR2, and offers users one of the smallest footprints of any nettop computer.
Shuttle have officially announced the X50 All-in-One touchscreen nettop, the company’s Atom-based rival to the ASUS Eee Top and MSI Wind Neton. First seen back in January, the Shuttle X50 has a 15.6-inch 1366 x 768 16:9 resistive touchscreen, Intel’s Atom 330 dual-core processor and 1GB of memory.
CES may have been less well attended than last year, but it was still big enough that many stands went ungraced by the SlashGear team. One I wish we’d called by was Shuttle’s, who were showing off their X50 All-in-One nettop. As has been pointed out, it’s a direct rival to the ASUS Eee Top, only instead of that model’s N270 processor the X50 rocks a 1.6GHz dual-core Atom 330 CPU.
