While the Eee Top may get a lot of zombie-hand loving, it’s not the only game in town when it comes to cheapo all-in-one PCs. Shuttle announced its X50 desktop at CES as well, a system with more than just a few similarities to the competition, namely its CPU, base RAM, display size and resolution, chipset, GPU, and OS. In case you don’t know those by heart: 1.6GHz Intel Atom 330, 1GB of RAM, 15.6-inch,1366 x 768 resistive touchscreen display, 945GC mainboard, GMA 950 graphics, and Windows XP. The real difference is the hard drive — the Eee Top sports a 160GB, the X50 just 80GB — and the price point, with the Shuttle clocking in at $499 ($100 cheaper). Our take? We’re starting to see the emergence of what amounts to the netbook desktop — a one piece, low power system meant for the kids’ room, the kitchen, or grandma’s rest home suite. The Shuttle wins in the looks department, but don’t make any fast decisions — come its March launch, you’ll be seeing plenty of these.
