Strange looking and overpriced


After
announcing its first ION-based netbook recently, Lenovo has now included Nvidia's Atom loving chipset in a nettop.

The IdeaCenter Q110 is based on Intel's Atom 230 processor and it packs 2GB of memory and 250GB of storage. At the back you'll find 4 USBs, HDMI, Ethernet and a headphones out. We're not sure what's under the flap at the front, though.

The design is rather attractive, and we love the cheerful texture used on the sides. It would be a pity to mount it at the back of your monitor using the included VESA mount.

In addition to the Q110, Lenovo will offer an ION-less version based on the same CPU, but with a 160GB hard drive. Unfortunately, Lenovo has priced the Q110 at $399, which sounds rather steep. The Q100 will sell for a more reasonable but still not cheap $299. Bear in mind that Lenovo's recently announced 18.5-inch C100 all-in-one costs $399.

Both versions should ship next month.
