LG Xpion X30 Nettop
We’re happy to see the new LG’s first nettop, and packing Nvidia’s Ion graphics to boot. The LG XPION X30 also features Intel’s Atom 230 1.6GHz CPU with 2GB of RAM and a 250GB hard-drive. It’s also VESA-mountable XPION X30 to be hidden around the back of your LCD.
There are also six USB 2.0 ports and the whole thing weighs 1.1kg and uses just 40W of power. There’s no optical drive but we’re it will have WiFi and perhaps an HDMI port. The LG launches with Windows Vista which we hope will be swapped for Windows 7 when the new OS drops in October.
