As you probably know that there’re a lot of ION products (apart from Acer‘s AspireRevo) in the works, and one them is called “GBox” from EMTEC. However, this future nettop is not yet a final product – as well as its name – which means that some changes to its configuration might occur in the future.

But to be honest, what we see in the photos is quite enough to raise our interested, given the fact that this ION-packing prototype is actually slimmer even than the Revo, at least at a first sight.

Yup, the nettop is pretty slim and features an Atom CPU (exact model unknown, either the N270 or N280), GeForce 9400M integrated graphics, an 160GB hard drives, and most likely 1GB of RAM.

Also, it comes with six USB 2.0 ports, run Windows XP, or with a HDMI connector (priced a bit higher). The GBox’s release date has not been revealed so we’ll just have to wait on EMTEC (or a third party) to come up with that info.

The future ION-based nettop from EMTEC will apparently be priced at somewhere in the vicinity of 300 US dollars or 210 Euro, which is in fact a very good price point, compared to the nettop models that are already available on the market.
