Brad from Liliputing posted about the new MSI Winbox DE220 nettop he spotted at CES 2010 earlier this month.

Word is that there will be a choice of  a single core 1.66GHz Intel Atom D410 or dual core 1.66GHz Atom D510 processor with both models using an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphic card, up to 4GB of RAM, and options up to 1tb of hard drive space. The computer runs Windows 7 Home Premium and comes with an optional 802.11b/g/n WiFi card.  There also appears to be an eSata port on the back there, making storage upgrades a breeze.

The Wind Box DE220 is a small machine, if not especially stylisth, measuring 10.8″ x  x 6.7″ x 1.6″.

No pricing or availability details available yet, but there are a few more shots to check out after the break.

Samsung will be launching a line of  three new all-in-one desktops in Korea and one of them will feature Intel’s latest Pinetrail processor.  The Samsung MU100 is powered by a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 CP and integrated GMA 3150 graphics. It’s a little odd that Samsung chose the N450 netbook chip, since Intel offers the Atom D410 single core and D510 dual core processors specifically for nettop and all-in-one applications.

The rest of the specs include a 20 inch HD display, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, and Windows 7 Home Premium.

The other 2 higher end models are the MU200 and MU250. The former will have a 20 inch multitouch display,  a Pentium 4400 processor, and NVIDIA GeForce G310 graphics, while the latter gets a larger 23 inch multitouch display, Core 2 Duo T6600 CPU, and GeForce G310 graphics.

Showing up in the wake of  CES 2010 in Las Vegas is the  ASUS Eee Box EB1012-B0257 nettop.  It has popped up on Amazon and is packing Intel’s 1.6GHz Dual Core N330 Atom processor, NVIDIA Ion, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Windows 7, HDMI out, 802.11b/g/n, and a sextet of USB 2.0 ports.

Still no release date yet, but it must be imminent if Amazon has it up.   Only color being shown right now is a sleek black, but as we saw last time, there should be a white model in the pipeline for some point in the indeterminable future.
