Office - doesnt need GeForce 9400 so could be cheaper
Home - Needs more umph CPUwise
HTPC - Needs more storage, HDMI, tuner card]]>Jul 3rd 2009 2:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/Jul 3rd 2009 2:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/Jul 3rd 2009 2:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/Jul 3rd 2009 2:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/Jul 3rd 2009 3:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/Jul 3rd 2009 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/
And yes, that computer is absolutely astonishingly ugly.

I can't see any possible reason to buy this - there are millions of nettops out there, many of which look quite nice, and all of which look a lot less ugly than this. Most of them are from companies you've actually heard of and some have Ion too (if for some reason you want it). Not really the way to make a great first impression for a 'new' brand, is it?]]>Jul 3rd 2009 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/

I heard that the drivers were not going to be provided by Zotac/Nvidia/Intel]]>Jul 3rd 2009 6:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/Jul 3rd 2009 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/
These people are really going off the deep end when it comes to little crap-box computers. Maybe they should try selling this type of computer to corporations to sit on secretaries and drones desks. It might have a use in the office environment, but I sure don't want it on my desk. Looks like a child's toy.

On one hand the industry is selling high-end graphics cards that take up two slots and could melt a full-size plastic computer case and on the other hand they're pushing these little sh!t-boxes that would probably cough on a youtube video.]]>Jul 3rd 2009 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/Jul 4th 2009 3:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/
Also, it runs well under Windows 7 (you can surf the internet, word process etc..), but more GPGPU apps are needed to take full advantage of the hardware, but more should come.]]>Jul 4th 2009 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/Jul 5th 2009 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/emtec-dips-toes-into-nettop-market-with-ion-based-g-box/Jul 7th 2009 9:03PM
