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.

The price is crazy. Nobody is going to pay that much for a jumped up XDA, in a bigger box.
But if they get serious on the price, it would be a great idea. Because they don't emit any noise and they use hardly any power, you could pretty much put them all over the place.
I've always wanted speakers in every room, and to have lots of computers with touch panels, so you could access your own local or internet streamed media/tv anywhere in the house.
