Shuttle's X27: Can Atom Handle Vista

In the horsepower race between Intel's and AMD's quad-core chips, the Atom processor is an everyday hybrid. Shuttle took it and created a ...

There is something about choosing the right thesis first that would apply to this article well

Shuttle X27D review

Just like the Hoover for vacuum cleaning and Tannoy for speakers, Shuttle has become almost synonymous with small form-factor PCs.

The Shuttle X27D is available at an attractive entry-level price, but once optical and hard drives and a useful amount of RAM are fitted, it can be easily beaten in value by better performing systems, such as the Advent Eco PC at around the same price....

Shuttle X27D review

Shuttle's X27D is a smart-looking barebones PC with a built-in Intel Atom processor. It measures just 70x185x250mm, which is ideal if you need a very compact PC. The power supply is external, however, and so will add to the clutter under your desk.

Shuttle X27D review

Shuttle puts a dual-core Intel Atom into one of its smallest chassis to create the Shuttle X27D.

Shuttle X27D

Shuttle updates the Atom processor in its X27 to deliver dual-core goodness. So when will it sort out the graphics?

Shuttle has done its best with Atom 330 and has left prices unchanged but it is severely hampered by the Intel 945GC chipset. As things stand, we're neutral on Atom for the desktop but we look forward to the next chapter in this story.

Shuttle X27D

A tiny, low-power barebones system with a dual-core Atom inside. Darien Graham-Smith gets building.

Amazing little Box

Running Xubuntu 9.10 on a 4GB OCZ Rally flash drive with 1GB G.Skill DDR2 533 RAM. Installs in no time, Hulu app installs with ease.

Xubuntu 9.10 runs flawlessly; Seems to be pretty quiet so far, the wife doesn't complain about the noise. Well priced for what it provides. Makes a great little HTPC to attach to the back of a wall mounted TV, a tad larger than a Mac Mini

Video is choppy when watching high-quality video, especially Hulu in high quality mode. Most Internet videos play flawlessly. I doubt it would deliver viewable HD

Capable Hackintosh

This is a pretty capable computer that looks good below the TV and plays everything except HD smoothly on a 46" LCD TV via DVI and audio cables. It is also reasonably speedy as a web browser and PLEX player ; Installed Mac OS X via iATKOS 7 with a...

This was an interesting Hackintosh project but it is not a great value for HTPC purposes compared to a used or refurb Mac Mini. Unlike some other "net-top" machines, this uses primarily notebook parts that many might not have lying around. In addition...
