Marvell EBOX Could be the Tiniest PC You’d Ever See
Jan 14th
Spotted by Brad of Liliputing during the CES 2010 was this EBOX PC loaded with Marvell Armada 510 processor. Actually, our kudos goes out to Brad for spotting the tiny PC because judging by its size from what we are seeing from its photos, this EBOX is indeed tiny. Almost like the size of the iPhone. So, who would have thought that it is actually a PC?
The EBOX on display at CES was connected to a big screen LCD and it was running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. But what’s interesting is that despite its size, this tiny beast can handle 1080p HD video playback. How’s that possible?
Anyway, the EBOX is running its OS on an SD Card since it’s too small to fit in a HD inside.
The EBOX would have been the tiniest PC to date if only it is already a finished product. But it seems though that it is still a prototype. Hopefully, whoever is responsible for this tiny would put it up for production. It would certainly be an interesting gadget to have and to hold.

Blu-ray Capable Eee Box EB1501 Shows Up in Europe Stores
Jan 13th
It seems that Asus has quietly slipped out a new model of its powerful nettop Eee Box EB1501 that was released sometime in October – this time with the same model number but with additional elements. Hence the new model is called the Eee Box EB1501-BO367.
But it’s not all about branding though. Asus has definitely made this newer model special with its Blu-ray capability. Yes, you read it right folks. If you were happy with the slot loading DVD player the came with the original EB1501, that same feature is present in the BO-367, but with the added Blu-ray capability.
Isn’t that sweet?
Anyway, aside from the Blu-ray feature, the Eee Box EB1501 also boasts of the same features including 2GB of RAM, 320GB of HDD, WiFi, gigabit ethernet, USB 2.0 ports, 4-in-1 memory card reader, audio in/out, S/PDIF and DVI.
The new Eee Box EB1501 with Blu-ray is available for $618 at this site.

MSI’s Projector PC concept packs NVIDIA ION and Atom inside
Jan 11th
All-in-one PCs have been all the rage recently. But did you know that instead of a screen, a PC’s innards can be packed alongside an integrated projector as well? This is exactly what MSI is trying to accomplish with their Projector PC concept, and so far it looks like they have succeeded.
They’ve displayed a prototype at CES in Las Vegas and revealed a bit about its system specs. All in, it looks to be a nettop (with NVIDIA’s ION graphics chipset using an unidentified version of Intel’s Atom processor, 3.5mm headphone jack, HDMI out, four USB ports and a built-in DVD writer) combined with a mid-range projector that can output 1080p on a 60-inch diagonal space.
MSI plans to launch this Projector PC by the third quarter of this year, so if playing Facebook games at 1080p is your thing, watch out for it then.
