PCs that do not eat away all your space

Traditionally, PCs come in 'tower' form factor which occupies a lot of space on your work space in addition to looking ugly. They are also noisy to use.

A new breed of PCs coming from vendors like Dell, Apple and ASUS, which apart from looking fashionable, are also pretty powerful for day to day tasks. In this article, we will have a look at these new PCs which are taking the computer world by storm.

The DELL Studio 

Arguably, the most beautiful PCs ever!

DELL, the number one PC brand in the USA, recently introduced the DELL Studio hybrid PCs, which are tiny, cute and occupy very little space beside your monitor. Don't let the puny size fool you! A Studio Hybrid PC can be configured with Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and upto 4GB of RAM to make it a real workhorse. They can be configured from the DELL site for prices starting from $499. At this price, it is a steal!

Standard features include:
  • Choice of Intel Pentium dual core or Core 2 Duo processor
  • Dual Layer DVD Driver
  • DVI and HDMI ports
  • IntelĀ® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
  • Integrated Stereo Audio with 5.1ch digital output (S/P DIF)

    No doubt, the DELL Studio Hybrids are great space savers in addition to being great value for money!

    ASUS Eee Box 

    Save even more space with the ASUS Eee Box

    After the phenomenal success of their Eee PC laptop, ASUS has introduced the Eee box, which is another tiny little PC with even lesser foot print than the DELL studio.

    Though they are not powerful as the DELL Studio, they save significant amount of power because of the Intel Atom processor used, when compared to the Dual Core Pentium or the Core 2 Duo processors on the Studio. The Eee box is great for everyday computing needs like watching movies, browsing the internet and sending emails. All Eee Box PCs come with built in Wi-Fi, card reader and an 80 GB hard disk.

    The Eee box features an innovative Express Gate technology, which boots the PC in 7 seconds flat!

    Apple Mac Mini 

    The legendary mini - the ultimate portable powerhouse

    Apple started the mini PC trend years ago with the Mac mini. The mac mini not only offers a very small footprint, but also a very powerful computing and multimedia platform with the Mac OS X operating system and the iLife application suite. All mac mini computers feature a Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a DVI port.

    What more, using the Apple Bootcamp or VMWare Fusion, you will be able to run Windows XP/Vista so that you don't need to throw away any of your legacy software. All mac minis feature built in wireless too.
