Jetway Ion Nettop

You might know Jetway as a PC hardware company – primarily making motherboards, but Jetway has also ventured into complete PCs, namely nettops, and their latest is caled the Mini Top.  The new little Jetway Mini Top sports an Intel Atom D525 dual core processor and 2nd generation Nivida Ion graphics.  There’s also has HDMI and S/PDIF output for 7.1 channel audio, 5 USB ports, an eSATA port, DVI jack, and 802.11b/g/n WiFi.

Newegg is selling it for just $270 but wait, it’s not the complete bargain you may be thinking, since there’s no memory, hard drive, or operating system.   There is remote control included though.

New Asus Eee Box PC EB1501P with Atom D525 and Ion leaked

Asus Eee box eb1501u

UPDATE:  Asus UK tells the folks at Electric Pig that the EB1501P will be available there late in the third quarter of early in the fourth quarter of 2010. The Eee Box EB1501P is expected to sell for about £379 including VAT, which is about $600 US

ASUS is gearing up to replace its aging EeeBox EB1501 with the EB1501P. It will reportedly be based around Intel’s dual-core Atom D525 processor and feature NVIDIA’s Ion graphics processor, a 250GB hard drive, 2GB of DDR3 memory, 802.11n WiFi, an HDMI output, six USB sockets and Bluetooth.

That fits quite nicely with the EB1501U (shown above) that we spotted back at CeBIT, which has yet to launch in any capacity since. A proper introduction at IFA, perhaps? We’ll be watching, ASUS.

Stealth PC LPC-100 packs a punch, at a price

LPC-100 Stealth PC

Stealth.com shows us their new nettop sized pc, called the LPC-100, which promises desktop beating performance in a package only slightly larger than an iPhone.   Oh, and it runs on 12 volts DC, making it ideal for your car PC project.  Beneath the tiny aluminum shell the base model includes a dual-core Celeron T3100 at 1.9Ghz, but you can upgrade to a Core 2 Duo T8400 (2.26Ghz) or T9100 (2.53Ghz). There are two DDR3 SODIMM slots supporting a maximum of 4GB memory and a SATA hookup for 160-500GB hard drives. Solid state drives are available as well.

Port wise, it has:

  • 2PS/2 ports
  • 2 serial ports
  • 3 USB 2.0 ports
  • VGA or DVI output
  • Gigabit ethernet
  • Microphone and headphone connections

Unfortunately, the LPC-100 is priced very un-nettop like.  The base model will set you back nearly $1300 US.   You can check out the press release here.
