Ripple unleashes dashingly handsome LOOK on unsuspecting nettop crowd

With its shapely curves and dramatic paintwork, the Ripple LOOK makes a wonderful first impression. Though not a candidate for being either the smallest or thinnest mini PC around, it's definitely one of the best looking nettops we've seen. Specs are par for the course -- dual core Atom 330, 2GB RAM, 320GB storage and Intel GMA950 graphics -- but you really don't buy devices like these for their power. Then again, we won't be buying this at all unless it does the unthinkable and finds a reseller outside Korea, where the lucky locals can have it for $321. A couple more glamor shots await after the break to soothe your heavy heart.

Interesting, decenet specs, def. a nice boutique nettop.

no ION/9400M........ no care

[One Love Posted Aug 13th 2009 4:38PM]

Yeah, whats with the GMA950 graphics?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 13th 2009 2:35PM]

I think anything less than ion in a nettop is a bit of a turn off. Especially when its atom 330.

[Alan Strangis Posted Aug 13th 2009 2:44PM]

Agreed. It needs ION to be useful, and ION based systems are cheap enough. The ASRock works perfectly fine, even as a media center.

shit should I have been a dbag and said first like all the KOOL engadget-ers?

No but you should be punished for misspelling words thinking you're cool. You stupid penis hugger

[CreepinJesus Posted Aug 13th 2009 2:40PM]

No, the Tux avatar picture is enough.

[knight3d Posted Aug 13th 2009 2:45PM]

Parallel, serial, PS/2, and no DVI/HDMI/DP? How old is this thing?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 13th 2009 2:56PM]

seriously... and GMA950?!

This thing is beyond useless... but I'll take the case!

[DanH Posted Aug 13th 2009 2:52PM]

Interesting product, but the company name reminds me of bum wines.

[gadgetfanboy Posted Aug 13th 2009 3:05PM]

No Ion = No Thanks.

Manufacturers need to learn how to act.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 13th 2009 3:19PM]

The follow on product with the ION will be called the "Mad Dog 20/20"

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 13th 2009 3:33PM]

AHHHH GMA 950, DIE DIE DIE!!!

[inu Posted Aug 13th 2009 3:45PM]

Guess the purpose of this thing is just to replace the old, outdated and huge desktops on those offices with simple needs, like editing documents, browse the web and work with programs that don't have huge graphical needs, since I've got the chance to test some that only worked with LPT1 and stuff.
In those cases it will help save some money on the electricity bill and make the environment more silent and peaceful.
Since the GMA950 cant fulfill our 1080p needs its pretty useless for any normal user that is considering a small PC like this to fill his "media center" needs.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 13th 2009 5:19PM]

It's not THAT crappy, come on.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 13th 2009 5:56PM]

intel graphics and no hdmi or dvi, pretty much worthless

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 13th 2009 6:25PM]

For $300 I can get a Dell that comes with a celeron 450 processor. Waste of money.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 13th 2009 9:22PM]

Just get yourself a ASrock Ion330, it totaly kicks A$$.... at least mine does! Plays blue-rays without so much as a hiccup.

[Ken J Posted Aug 14th 2009 11:25AM]

so no one else thinks that the logo says "nipple"?
