Dell is about to sell its nettop / HTPC, the closest thing you will find the Apple Mac mini from which it is clearly inspired.
Prices for the economic base model will be $249 and a package that would include a high-end HD Zino will be marketed for $800.

Very expensive, but includes a monitor, keyboard and wireless mouse. It would be on sale from 27 November with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed and will surely be able to choose any of the Linux distributions and yes, Dell supports Windows XP.

Although the current configuration tab Zino HD is not available on the Dell website, still different configurations and prices of this little computer for the living room as multimedia computer (HTPC) or a compact PC have been published. The Zino HD will be more like Apple’s Mac mini that will be found in the market.
