Shuttle XS35 nettop to light up the French market this September

Nettops are getting more and more powerful and capable with the new range of processors from Intel, although they are still very far off from being a suitable desktop. Shuttle’s XS35 is able to hold the fort pretty well though, being first introduced at CES earlier this year, sporting a dual core Atom D510 processor not to mention the next generation ION graphics chipset from NVIDIA. What makes the XS35 even more special is the fact that it does not contain a fan, making it even smaller than usual, while an empty 5.25″ drive bay lets you slip in a Blu-ray drive if you want to. Other ports include HDMI out, five USB 2.0 ports, VGA and LAN. Bringing home the Shuttle XS35 isn’t going to be a cheap affair though, as we’re looking at a 320 Euro price tag sans RAM, storage or optical drive when it hits France this September.
