Buying a personal computer used to be easy, as the brand name and the memory were the two factors which were generally used to make a decision on which one to purchase. Not only do we now all know a lot more about current technology but we also have to decide between desktop PCs, laptops, netbooks and now nettops as well.

If you are wondering whether a nettop might suit you then you might be interested in seeing the following list of benefits:

1. Size. This is a big concern for many computers users who work or play in a small space, and a nettop is often seen as an ideal compromise between having a machine which is small enough to fit in just about anywhere and still having a good processing speed and decent storage capacity. If you simply don’t have the room for a full size computer, or you want something which you can easily be moved from room to room, then this is a good choice for you to look at. While they aren’t nearly as portable as netbooks their slimness and lightness mean that you can easily hook one up in your bedroom and then transport it to another room to carry on your work when you want a change of scenery. The best thing is that the top models pack a lot more power into their small frames than you might expect.

2. Price. Nettops are substantially less expensive than full sized computers. You can generally find one which suits you for under $200 / £125 / €150. If you want a really top of the range all in one nettop with a touch screen and more power and storage than the standard ones then you should be looking at paying a bit more than double that price.
