Hands-on with the Albatron's Nano Abox 2.0
When we first caught wind of Albatron's Nano Abox V2.0 a few weeks ago, we knew we'd have to stop for a look while here in Germany. Afterall, this mini PC brings along its own monitor for use in a pinch. We'll tell you what we told them, it looks like a home-made case-mod with an astoundingly thick LCD simply bolted onto the box. Fortunately, the unit on display was just an engineering prototype, albeit the final rev before production begins. Let's hope they can clean the design up a bit 'cause we like the idea of a mini display on a portable mini -- just not this one.%Gallery-2171%
Albatron showcasing Nano Abox V2.0 Mini-PC at CeBIT
It looks like Asus' LED-backlit laptop and NVIDIA's three-way SLI will have to share the limelight with someone else at CeBIT, as Albatron is planning to showcase its wee Nano Abox V2.0 Mini-PC for literal computing on the go. While not quite a laptop per se, this miniature PC has a 6.1- x 3.4-inch LCD screen flanking the top, and while a brief glance may bring back delightful memories of the Wii laptop design, this multimedia-centric device isn't just fun and games. Aside from boasting Viiv certification, it packs an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM, integrated graphics, DVI output, eight-channel audio, USB 2.0, FireFire, and gigabit Ethernet. Of course, no pricing or availability details have yet been divulged, but if you're looking for an average HTPC that can hit the road without taking up too much space, Albatron's got you covered.[Via 64-Bit-Computers]
