It seems that the Asus Eee Top has a new competitor. A Japanese manufacturer today introduced their new Atom-powered nettop in the form of the Kourziro KZRX1002. This mini-computer also features a 1GB of RAM, 250GB of HDD, DVD Super Multi Drive and a 19-inch LCD. Measuring 103mm x 288mm x 338mm, the Kourziro KZRX1002 retails for around 400 Euro. [Frontier]

Shuttle has come up with its latest model of KPC / Simple Mini PC, K4800. It is powered by an Intel® processor (Intel® Celeron®, Intel® Pentium Dual-Core, or Intel® Core™2 Duo) With an Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950, 80 GB HDD and 512 MB RAM. Unique to the KPC is a front panel that works just like a photo frame. Simply replace the image or photo to change the look, and voila, your PC now got a new look. The KPC is excellent for simple day-to-day use, but it has USB ports to allow expansion. It is possible to pop in more memory (up to 2GB) or adds another hard drive (up to 1.5TB). KPC power efficient design also saves energy (and money, too). At less than 55W in full use and just 33W in idle. Price starting at $299. [Shuttle]
