Samsung's MX-10 slim PC: with Core 2 Duo, and an "M"
The slim PC tower market is sure hottin' up with yet another introduced today, this time from Samsung. The MX10 mini PC measures a mere 55 x 265 x 299-mm (2.2 x 10.4 x 11.8-inches) and sports a Core 2 Duo and ATI Xpress 1100 graphics. If it looks familiar, it's 'cause it is: Samsung also has an AMD version which goes by the name of NX10 -- we peeped that one back at the Korea Electronics Show. Fully spec'd, the MX10 should pull about 1,100,000 Korea Won or about $1,265 of the lean green. Now, if Samsung could just get around to providing some official specs we could decide just how (in)appropriately priced the MX-10 really is.[Via Akihabara News]
Epson's budget slim-line tower, the Endeavor AT960
Japanese consumers looking for a slim-line tower PC on the cheap could probably do worse than Epson's latest Endeavor desktop, the AT960, which features a 2.53GHz Celeron D processor and 256MB of DDR2 RAM for $420. More yen lets you step up to a Pentium 4 chip as fast as 3.8GHz, up to 2GB of RAM and 250GB of hard drive space (compared to the sparse 40GB in the base configuration), WiFi, and a DVD burner -- but no amount of money can improve upon the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 integrated graphics. Likewise, there's not much you can do about the dearth of input options, so the four USB 2.0 hookups and serial and parallel ports are gonna have to stand in for the missing FireWire.
