New Giada Cube Nettop has Ion Power and a TV Tuner

Giada Cube n7dt

Giada showed off a new nettop at CeBIT 2010 this week called the Giada Cube N7DT.  It comes with a dual core Intel Atom D510 Pine Trail processor and next-generation ION graphics. Best of all, perhaps, is that the Giada Cube-N7DT has a built in TV tuner and DVD drive, making it a a promising little media center nettop since the Nvidia Ion Graphics and dual core Pine Trai processor should give the nettop enough horsepower to decode Blu-Ray discs although for now you’ll need a USB Blu-Ray drive if you want to go that route.

The nettop supports up to 2GB of DDRE3 memory, and takes a 2.5″ hard drive. It has HDMI, DVI, and SPDIF outputs, as well as support for 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth.

No word on whether we’ll see this Giada nettop in the states anytime soon.

Zotac HD-ID11 at Amazon for just $250.

Zotac is adding support for Intel’s latest Atom processor and NVIDIA’s next-generation ION graphics.  The new Zotac Zbox HD-ID11 is the same size and shape as the earlier Zotac MAG nettop. But the new model features a 1.66GHz Atom D510 dual core processor and faster NVIDIA ION graphics.

As the outgoing Zotac nettop, they system will be available as a barebones system.  That means there is no memory, hard drive, or operating system included.  What do you get is a  2.5″ hard drive bay and  a single 200-pin DDR2-800 SODIMM slot. The computer also has 802.11b/g/n WiFi and 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet.  The ION graphics processor has 512MB of dedicated memory and supports DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.2.

The computer has 6 USB ports, HDMI and VGA output, and mic and headphone jacks. There’s also an eSATA port and flash card reader. The system comes with a VESA mount and a DVI to VGA adapter.

A great design feature is that you can open the case without any tools. You simply need to remove two “thumb screws” to open the Zotac ZBOX HD-ID11 and insert RAM or a hard drive.

Pick up the Zotac HD-ID11 at Amazon for just $250.
