LG Electronics Unveils its First ION Nettop
LG Electronics unveiled the company's first nettop, based on the NVIDIA ION platform. Measuring roughly 1l in volume, the LG XPION X30 resembles similar offerings from Medion, Gateway, and Acer. The unit weighs under 1.1 kg (2.42 lbs). Under its hood is an Intel Atom 230 single-core processor running at 1.6 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics integrated into the ION chipset, 2 GB of memory, and 250 GB storage. It comes with Windows Vista Home Basic pre-loaded and comes with an attachment that lets the unit latch onto some monitors probably using the VESA wall-mount, so it could be neatly tucked away to save space. It is expected to hit retail tomorrow.

i wish it used standard mounts instead of some fancy LG specific one.that mount is cool :DI know it is not "classified" as one, but still. If they release other lines of these nettops,
it should be easy to swap out.
I know Sony had something similar with their TV's, but it was to hold a DVD player.
Meh, still a cool idea nonetheless.
also, atoms are low heat, and can take heat. if it can handle running in a fanless laptop, it can handle this.
Questions are:
HDCP compliant with HDMI out?
What does it use for storage?
My first thought was a media PC - I could strap this my 40" Sony so when the mood struck, switch channels to surf the web via wireless keyboard and air mouse. Play *some* games. Watch videos from HDD.
