Dell intro’s the Vostro A160 Mini-Tower, A100 entry-level desktop

Aside from the two Vostro laptops which Dell announced, it will also release two new desktop models - the affordable and practical Vostro A160 Mini-Tower and the entry-level Vostro A100. Both are geared for the most basic business computing needs and boast of similar features and specs.
Both desktops feature either an Ubuntu Linux or Windows Vista, integrated audio, graphics and network connection, expandable graphics capability, USB and audio ports. The A160 comes with either a single or dual core Intel Celeron or dual core Pentium processors, up to 80GB of hard drive space and a 16x DVD ROM. The A100 desktop gets the Intel Atom processor, an 8x DVD+/-RW and up to 160GB of hard drive space.
Averatec rolls out all-in-one desktop PC
This one’s going to send a lot of Apple fanboys aflutter, saying “Copycat!“ “Imitation!“ and “Unoriginal!“ But let’s face it, is it truly possible to create an all-in-one PC that doesn’t remind one of the Apple iMac? I mean, really? But before you answer that, let me just go ahead and list out this baby’s features, and hopefully shed some light on even just a few readers.
This all-in-one single body PC is from Averatec, and it features no less than a full-size keyboard, mouse, and of course, that single black slab of metal and plastic that houses the CPU, monitor, and other computer innards. The screen is a 22-inch 1680x1050p WSXGA+ HD display that hides an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, a 320GB hard drive, 2GB DDR2 SDRAM (expandable to 4GB) and nVidia GeForce graphics behind it. It has a built-in 1.3-megapixel camera, 4-in-1 card reader and DVD/CD writer for some multimedia good times. Windows Vista Home Premium is also preloaded with the thing, to further wash away beliefs that this is an iMac-clone.
Unfortunately, the price point couldn’t get any closer to the iMac, at $1,299. Watch out for it’s appearance in your favorite local/online stores next month.

RelatedLluon Ultra Slim PC

As a huge Mac fan I actually really like to see PC manufacturers making strides away from the old grey box image of the PC and the Lluon from Korean based TG is a very attractive looking ultra slim PC.
As well as boasting a great design and an amazing 6.61 pounds, this Mac mini competitor also has some impressive power inside it:
- Measures 1.78-inches x 10.9-inches x 9.61-inches
- Built around a 1.66GHz Core 2 Duo processor
- 1GB RAM, a 320GB hard drive and a 256MB GeForce 8400 GS for around $1275.00
- A $1487 version which includes a 2.00GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB RAM, a 500GB hard drive, the same 256MB GeForce 8400 GS and built in Wi-Fi
We can only hope that they release it outside of Korea sometime soon as it would make a powerful and attractive center to your home media set up.
