We looked in our last feature at the two top reasons for choosing a nettop (size and price). While those benefits are undoubtedly the main ones for most of us you should be aware of the remaining advantages which are commonly given for choosing this kind of computer over bigger, bulkier alternatives. Here are the remaining 3 from our top 5 list.

3. Power consumption. A standard home computer will consume around 100 watts of power, while a nettop usually comes it around a tenth of that figure, or less. This means that you use less power to do the same things you would do on a bigger, more conventional PC. This will mean a saving on your electricity bill and a small step towards being more environmentally friendly.

4. Style. Small, sleek and slim are the in thing with gadgets these days, and the nettop is up there with best of them in this respect. The eye catching design and smooth lines mean that this machine will definitely attract admiring glances from your visitors. It also means that it can fit in seamlessly in any modern, cutting edge room.

5. Lack of noise. One of the benefits of the lower power consumption we mentioned earlier on is that these machines tend not to need fans to keep them cool. This in turn means that there is little or no noise generated by them.

No matter which of those benefits appeal to you the next step is to take a look through the models which we have reviewed on the site to see if there are any which you particularly like the look of. New models are being released all the time and we will aim to keep you updated with all the best reviews and articles on the latest features which are added to the latest nettops.
