Three New Nettop Models of NanoPC Series from Foxconn

Foxconn Electronics introduces three new nettops which replenish NanoPC 7000 series. All three, NanoPC AT-7300, NanoPC AT-7500 and NanoPC AT-7700, are claimed to be practically noiseless due to the improved integration and layout base. As scheduled by Foxconn, all the models will become available in March 2013 and will be priced at $390, $480, $600 correspondingly.

These nettops are based on Intel Ivy Bridge platform but are equipped with a bit different CPUs. Thus, NanoPC AT-7300 model accommodates Intel Core i3-3217U processor that operates at 1.8GHz clock frequency; NanoPC AT-7500 model houses Intel Core i5-3317U processor with 1.7GHz clock frequency; NanoPC AT-7700 takes Intel Core i7-3517U processor with 1.9Ghz frequency as the basis.

The integrated motherboard complies with a mobile chipset Intel HM76 Express and features Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics core. Internal layout of all nettops presupposes the installation of 16GB DDR3 RAM and of additional HDD/SSD drive of 2.5-inch form-factor (with SATA interface). Upon the whole, Foxconn furnishes its models with a special socket for SSD drive in the shape of mini-PCI Express expansion card, Wi-Fi adapter of 802.11 b/g/n standard, and multimedia card-reader.

Interface panel consists of four USB 3.0 ports, one HDMI and one more DVI port. If compared these new models with traditional PC cases of micro-ATX form-factor, NanoPCs will appear to be thirty times more compact. Their dimensions equal to 190x135x38 mm and weight equals to 600 g. One more advantageous peculiarity offered by Foxconn is that its nettops boast the availability of dedicated VESA brackets. This way, the user is able to fix the nettop on the rear panel of the monitor, TV panel or simply on the wall.
