Jetway’s latest Mini Top nettop is a small form factor desktop PC with a low power Intel Atom D525 dual core processor. But what really makes it stand out is the fact that the Jetway nettop is one of the first machines to hit the streets with next-generation NVIDIA ION graphics.
Like similar nettops from Asus, Acer, and others, the Jetway Mini Top bears a more than passing resemblance to a Nintendo Wii, thanks to its thin, square-like shape.
The nettop has HDMI and S/PDIF output for 7.1 channel audio, 5 USB ports, an eSATA port, DVI jack, and 802.11b/g/n WiFi.
Newegg is selling it for just $270. But if you’re wondering why this thing is so cheap, there’s a catch. There’s no memory, hard drive, or operating system. On the bright side, the computer does come with a remote control.

This would be nice to install XBMC on =)
It does come with some useful software to install once you do install the HDD, etc. But what caught my eye though was the BIOS update on the Jetway site that specifically mentions “Increase the speed overclocking features.” Not bad for the price and potential performance, especially if you already have the missing parts on hand…

It is referring to the ION video memory.
“There’s no memory, hard drive, or operating system.”
Newegg lists that it comes “with dedicated 512MB DDR3”
DDR3 for the ION video card part…
