A new Atom Based Shuttle Nettop
Shuttle the company notorious for pumping out the same barebone rectangle with a different model name and a few extra ports has finally done something a touch different, and what we’re dealt is the X270V.
This so-called Mini-PC relies on Intel’s 1.6GHz Atom 330 to process, while 2GB of DDR2 RAM keeps things in order. There’s also gigabit Ethernet, 6-channel audio, a PS/2 connector for the retro folks, six USB sockets and VGA / DVI outputs. Shuttle also claims this bugger is energy efficient, though it doesn’t go into great detail about just how much it’ll save you each month. Oh, and it also comes loaded with openSUSE 11 (a Linux flavor, for those unaware). Interested? Move to Europe and plop down at least €299 ($390).
