eMachines New Nettop Powered By AMD and Nvidia
Nettops have always been a nice little alternative to netbooks – if you’re not particularly picky about portability, a nettop provides a stable platform that you can surf the Internet from. Not exactly known in the mainstream, nettops are great in terms of size, design and expense. eMachines is about to release their own entry into the nettop market and it looks to be quite impressive.
The Er1401 is powered by an AMD processor, with graphics handled by an integrated Nvidia GeForce 9200 card. That’s some pretty good computing right there. With that under the hood, it maybe able to handle something more than the basic tasks of surfing the net and word-processing.
Here are the full technical specs for those interested:
- AMD Athlon II Neo processor K325 (1.3GHz dual core)
- Nvidia GeForce 9200 graphics
- up to 4GB DDR3 RAM (two slots)
- 500GB HDD (2.5″ 5400 RPM)
- S/PDIF out, HD audio
- 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi
- Gigabit LAN
- 4x USB 2.0, audio jacks, RJ45, HDMI, VGA
- Windows 7 Home Premium
There’s no word on a release date or pricing yet, but expect the price range to be around a netbook’s price or a cheap desktop’s.
