Nettop
A Nettop is the desktop equivalent of a Netbook. Like their portable pals, nettops are underpowered machines that are made fairly inexpensively, and primary function of the devices is to access the internet, hence the name. Since the devices aren't tied to a battery, the machines frequently forgo the netbook custom of including a low-power CPU, and instead opt for simply the most inexpensive CPU. The primary champion of the nettop trend is also the primary champion of the netbook trend, Asus's Eee Top machine is one of the first of the new generation of nettops to hit store shelves.
