Point of View presents the Mobii FamilyPC, a small NVIDIA ION based mini-ITX desktop computer that uses the Intel Atom 330 processor. Other features include up to 2GB DDR2 memory, 320GB HDD, DVD burner, HDMI, Windows XP or Vista Home Premium and more. A remote control kit is optional.
The small mini-ITX desktop computers are based on Intel’s dual core Atom 330 CPU which combines great performance with a very high energy efficiency. As an indication of the power usage: the system is equipped with an internal power supply with a max output of 160W and its measured power usage is below 100W!
The NVIDIA ION GPU and the total amount of memory of 1 or 2GB DDR2 make this system perfectly suitable for Windows XP or Windows Vista Home premium; which will be the operating systems which will be available on the Mobii familyPC.
The slightly larger ‘cube-design’ of the case brings down the temperature drastically and also allow regular (5,25” and 3,5”) sized components to be used. Besides a much lower price for the components (HDD and Optical drives), this also offers users more freedom in upgrading and customizing the Mobii FamilyPC to their needs.
The installed mainboard has two standard full-size DIMM slots so upgrading is made easy. Furthermore there is a PCI-slot and mini PCI-Express slot available on the mainboard. To make this system the strongest all-rounder possible, Point of View has equipped the Mobii FamilyPC with all sorts of output possibilities. The graphical output connections are DVI, VGA and HDMI whilst the audio is taken care of through the digital SPDIF, Coaxial or stereo output connection. Last but not least: no less than eight USB 2.0 ports will be available to connect your peripherals such as USB sticks, external hard drives, DVB-T USB adapters and more.
Media Center possibilities are made easy through the HDMI output and digital audio output. Whether you want to play back High Definition 1080P video directly through the 5,25” DVD-RW 8x or optional BluRay optical drive, play them from the internal 320GB SATA HDD or stream them through the 1000Mbps LAN connection the NVIDIA ION GPU is guaranteed to offer fluid and sharp imaging on your LCD monitor or TV.
All together, a very stylish case, with makes use of all the advantages the Intel Atom in combination with the NVIDIA ION solution has to offer! To add extra personalization possibilities to your Mobii FamilyPC you can change the front cover of the PC. A standard silver frontpanel is included and green, blue and pink are separately available to brighten up your desk. More covers with all sorts of cool designs will be soon available too!
The Mobii FamilyPC is available in Black and White with different specifications. Contact your POV retailer for more information and availability. To finish the package, an excellent warranty procedure is arranged with 2 of warranty of which 1 year pick-up & return.
