Shuttle PC with built in monitor

[Kev]

Akihabara News have announced details of the DC10, a new shuttle pc which is out this week in Japan. The shuttle has an integrated 7 inch lcd screen at the front.



For around 330€ you get a Core 2 Duo E4000 Series, a Dual Core E2000 Series or a Celeron 400 Series plus 2GB of DDR2 (up to 4GB), a Realtek AL C662 (5.1 Channel Audio Support) and four USB ports.

When I first saw this I thought that it was pretty cool but after thinking about it, this is nothing more of a gimmick and I really can't see what use there is for a 7 inch screen on a shuttle. It's not like you are going to use a shuttle pc when travelling and it's not like you would use this 7 inch screen as your main monitor so it kind of defeats the whole point of it.

I love seeing new gadgets. 80% of gadgets which are released in
Japan are never released elsewhere in the world. Sometimes this is annoying as there are some cool devices which never see the light of day in the states or europe. But in this case, I can understand why no one is releasing it in the UK (who knows, maybe someone will pick it up).
