After the rather unexpected success of the netbook, manufacturers started looking for more ways to capitalise on the cheaper end of the market. Many of them are now putting netbook internals (the Atom platform) in desktop computers, such as nettops and cheaper all-in-one solutions. According to several analysts, this is going to be one of the few places where the desktop market can grow. And while we're on the subject of hardware, TechRepublic took the Dell Adamo apart to see its internals.

Netbooks fill a need. They are small, lightweight and cheap. While we all like cheap, small and lightweight are very important for highly mobile computers. Most of us do our heavyweight tasks in the office or at home so a very powerful machine isn't required on the road.
Nettops don't make the same sense so they will not sell as well.
