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.

And yet no one could purchase the OLPC as a usable computer - show me a website I can buy one and have it shipped to New Zealand. The ASUS was the first commercially available consumer netbook and it rolled on from there. "
Just because you couldn’t buy a OLPC, didn’t mean it did not inspire the current netbook revolution
I’m thankful to the OLPC and EEE, for without them I wouldn’t own an Acer One.
