The Perfectly Balanced Dual Core Desktop PC

Most small form factor personal computers (SFFPC) struggle between computing power, cooling and noise issues. Requiring only 122 cubic inches of space, the Nova incorporates a robust Intel Core 2 Duo Desktop processor for efficient multitasking and quality digital audio/video enjoyment. Adopting solid capacitors, a unique L-shape heat dissipation module, S-shape heat pipes and three AI fans – The P22 is capable of exceptionally quiet, yet powerful computing at only 25dB.

High Speed Connectivity with 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.0

Supporting the 802.11n wireless standard, the Nova’s high 300 Mbps transmission rate allows users to easily download a 30-minute HD video in under a minute! The embedded Bluetooth device also provides effortless data streaming between the Nova and other peripherals such as notebooks and handheld devices.

Flexible Music Playback Options

A pair of built-in speakers housed at the front of the Nova offer unobtrusive, high quality audio output. For home theater configurations, the Nova can also support 5.1 analog or digital surround output with Dolby® Digital Live or DTS® connect technology.

Style and Space

The Nova accommodates nearly any environment with ease – whether working from a desk, a nightstand or an open living room, the Nova is designed for the space conscious user. Available in glossy pearl white and piano black, the Nova’s streamlined design, touch sensors and stylish stand seamlessly integrate with modern interiors, reflecting a tasteful individual while adding style to any surrounding. Smaller and lighter than most notebooks, the Nova can be easily ported from one room to another, adapting to different situations and needs via a docking station port.

It's probably not going to take the desktop world by storm like the Eee has with notebooks—cause it's not $400 for one—but Asus's Nova P22 mini-PC certainly isn't a bad looking machine. It's got a form factor sorta like the Mac mini but it's more angular and less curvy, with a Sunkist accent wrapped around it.

So far what we know about what's inside is that it's got a 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 with a 1066-MHz front side bus. It'll go for about $1019 in Taiwan, though no word on if, when and how much on our side of the ocean. Given the popularity of the Eee, Asus would be smart to capitalize on the brand name Eee's been building for it outside of geek circles and get that sucker over here. But for cheaper.

Paying completely for the form factor, and even so is extremely pricey for the hardware.

E6320/E2160, 946GZ chipset, 1GB RAM, 5400 RPM drives... GMA 3000 is actually identical to GMA 950. ASUS is taking the Apple pricing strategy here.
