A nettop which appeared on the market last year and which has been attracting good reviews and customer feedback is the Lenovo IdeaCentre Q150 model. This increases the company’s nettop range, which also includes the popular Q100 and Q110 machines.

The new computer from Lenovo runs off the ION 2 platform and incorporates a dual core Atom D510 1.66 GHz processor. There is 5.1 channel audio, a 500 GB hard drive, 2GB of memory and Wi-Fi / HDMI / VGA connectivity built in. It probably has all of the connectivity options you could ask for, and the performance and hard drive size are among the best in its class and price range.

Overall Rating:
 
The Q150 comes with Windows 7 Home Premium pre loaded and the whole package weighs just 1.67 pounds, which is 0.76 kilos. It is also one of the smallest nettops around, and measures in at 6.75” x 0.80” x 6”.

Once you connect it to a big screen LCD or HDTV you will be able to fully appreciate the good quality performance which it can pump out on videos and photos, while the sound music also makes it entirely suitable for anyone looking for a compact music system which doubles up as a PC.

It comes with a 60 day McAfee antivirus program loaded on it, meaning that you need to pay to extend it or look for a free program pretty quickly, and the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery option lets you switch it back to the factory settings if it becomes infected with a virus or has some other problem which you can’t solve.

The US price is $400, although you can snap up cheaper bargains with a bit of online browsing. Like most of the best nettops, it is a stylish little machine which takes up next to no room and gives you a fairly powerful performance while making no noise and looking good at the same time.
