Nettop (English nettop) - a small personal computer by physical size. The word "Nettop" is formed from "InterNET" and "deskTOP".
The term nettop (similar to desktop - desktop computer) was proposed by Intel at the time of the announcement of Atom processors, which, in the understanding of this company, should become the main base for creating nettops. Nettop is a stationary analogue of a netbook (English netbook) - a miniature network laptop.

As a basis for nettops, processors with energy efficient microarchitectures, that is, those that offer lower power consumption, are used. This is usually the Intel Atom, Intel Celeron, VIA Nano and VIA C7 CPUs. There are also solutions on the Intel Core 2 Duo, and the latter in idle mode are almost as good as the economics of the Intel Atom, and if necessary, provide much greater performance at the cost of a short-term increase in power consumption

• Central processor: 1.2-2.1 GHz, single core or dual core
  
• 2-4 GB DDR3 RAM
  
• Hard disk 80-500 GB
  
• Integrated video and sound cards.
  
• DVD drive
  
• USB 2.0, 3.0 LAN 10/100/1000 Mb / s ports
  
• WiFi, Bluetooth

Among nettops assembled in Russia, we can highlight ARUTEK MediaBox, DESTEN eStudio 1016MS, AxiomPC Micra, products from Depo Neos 420USF, Neos 210USF ION, OLDI ComputersВ® 210 Office Series, Wexler VisION, Wexler Nano, Wexler VisION-2, Aquarius Std S20 S22, USN NEONix. NET 330, USN NEONix. NET 333 ION, MaterIK Slim basic, and also Apple MacMini.

One of the distinctive features of the nettopes is the “domesticated” design that brings this category of computers to the category of household devices. There are models with a more stringent office design. In addition, usually, nettopes have a small size, which allows you to free up space on the desktop. For example, Arbyte Nettop is attached to the monitor to the standard holes Vesa 100*100 mm. The cooling system of such computers has a low level of noise, which is also important for use in residential premises and in the workplace.

The computing capacity of the nettopes, in addition to working on the Internet and with various network services, is usually enough to listen to music, amateur work with photos, to watch a video of standard resolution and undemanding games. The latter models of nettopes are usually equipped with built -in graphics from ATI AMD and NVIDIA and allow you to quite comfortably watch video films in FullHD format and play most modern games, albeit in low graphics settings. For example: Acer Aspire Revo R3600, USn Neonix.Net 333 Ion, Asus Eee Box EB1012, MSI Windbox De200 and other nettopes using the NVIDIA ION chipset. There are also many new models based on built -in graphics from ATI AMD. For example, ZBOX Blu-Ray Ad03 is a nettop based on the AMD Fusion processor, desktopes and nettopes Dell Inspiron Zino, MSI Windbox DC500.
