[btarunr]

MSI today introduced the NetOn AP1900 all-in-one desktop PC. The PC consists of a monolithic unit housing the hardware, an 18.5-inch LCD display, and speakers. With the kind of product feel and hardware on offer, the PC qualifies as a nettop, though advertised to be ideal for offices, stores, internet cafes, kiosks, and similar applications. The unit chassis is built of matte black and silver. It can be installed with the desktop stand or on the wall, being compliant with the VESA wall-mount standard. The display sports a native resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels.

Under the hood is an Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, 160GB of storage, a Super Multi DVD drive, and integrated graphics. Connectivity options include gigabit Ethernet, WiFi, and a 4-in-1 media card reader. A 1.3 MP fixed webcam is present right above the display. The package includes a keyboard and mouse. MSI has started production of this desktop, and will arrive at stores soon.

Silly underspecced machines. Atom 330 and 2GB adds a total cost of less than $10... but the performance and flexibility is significantly greater.

When in a notebook, netbook, the fine, the lower powered 270 makes sense for batteries. But for a device that is plugged in there is NO EXCUSE to use anything but Atom 300 and 2GB.

This might not be allowed becuase of the Microsoft restrictions. If you put 2GB into this machines you are now allowed to use XP. Which means total price would end up 70 to 90 euro higher.
