Post the full stats.

Not very "Ultra Mobile" judging by the thickness.

Why doesn't HP just make their s3300t series smaller?

Its totally within the realm of possibility and quite frankly it's pretty slim as is:

16.28"(L) x 6.89"(W) x 15.24"(H)

If they just get rid of that stupid pocket storage thing at the bottom and use 7200rpm 2.5" drives instead of 3.5" drives it can be really cut down in size.

This will replace my car PC. I currently have a old laptop under the seat and it suck because it can't be power on remotely, but this one can with a remote switch. Perfect size and hope it will be the same OS, would be perfet for my low-res VGA touchscreen.

@Arkley:
It's a desktop. WTF are you talking about?

If I can install hackintosh on it, I'd have sex with it.

HACKINTOSH?

@bryanoak:
he's referring to the OSX86 project.

why run wonky hackintosh when you can get a mac mini for not much more?

@nutbastard:
I live in Sweden. A mac mini is $1000 here.
So... Counterpoint please?

Impressive stats on the card :
"Performance : Good Enough Performance"

they took my idea. except mine portable com is in a xbox case..

@Bani-Banan: More like $909 at today's rates (for the low-end model, based upon SEK 5,495, which includes "moms"), but either way, that is a lot for a Mac mini.

@SlipperySid: Perhaps they had to revise the card in a hurry after a marketing manager rejected "Definitely Not Bad Ass", "Not For Playing Games", "Yes", or a simple check mark.

@JPQsat:
I was thinking exactly the same thing!
Here's hoping it has a standard ATX connector so we can connect it to a Carnetix PSU.

@JPQsat: you really think that it's harddrive will handle the bumps? do you use a solid state or something?

I have bought a laptop for $300, so why should I get this? The laptop is more powerful and have a smaller form factor.

I'm guessing Intel integrated graphics? Otherwise looks like a nice little piece of kit. Too bad it will be mostly useless if it uses Intel's famous graphics solution.

If it has/can have a graphics card, HTPC time.

And it said it's 24dB loud...my CPU fan alone is that loud. I'm down.

@nutbastard: You nuts? $599 is not "just a little more" than $300.

@nutbastard: Personally, I love the mini but don't want integrated graphics. If there is another option available in a small form factor PC... I'll take it

I like it kind of. And for the real pc enthusiast for the guy who said this would be perfect for his car if you know how to switch a processor just buy a faster processor and put it in and sell that one on e-bay.
I wonder how much ram that pc has. They should've posted better stats and by the looks it doesnt have a graphics card because it needs a VGA converter.
Asus really didnt try on this one from the looks of it.
1.8ghz, no graphics card, God knows how little ram.
Nice case tho give them that much. I see this as a walmart hit.

if it has some decent ram, enough usb's (it looks like it has either 2 or 3, can't tell)for cotrollers touchscreen and audio out and xp drivers it is perfect for a project that I have been wanting to do which is to create an inexpensive rackmounted touchscreen pc that fits in a few rackmount spaces for live audio.
It looks like it would also be a perfect solution for a home entertainment pc

@entropyman: You should have been on the VIA EDEN band wagon a long time ago then.

Then again, Shuttle is bringing some action to the small form factor side with lower prices.

Does that say ASUS Tranquilizer Technology of 24db??????

sorry, it only says Tranquiller, i thought it had darts for the kids...

24dB would definetly be nice, especially at 200 dollars. Would be even better if it has a free PCI slot so you can stick in a cable receiver...

@Bani-Banan:
Im not going to argue with you based on your geographic handicap - besides, what makes you think THIS thing won't be price inflated as well?

@HeartBurnKid:
Used ones are available for about $450 whose specs match this thing.

@bryanoak:
This likely has integrated graphics as well.
