The basic computing market segment is commonly considered a
simplified PC solution at a system price point of $299 USD and
below. These computers are part of a new family of computers;
called “nettops”, which represent a new generation of low-cost PCs
running on Intel processors.
These systems are targeted at users in both mature and emerging
market segments whose computing needs and price points require
focused and targeted system solutions.
With a small form-factor ideal for young kids and designed to be
affordable to firsttime users, nettops are configured to run less
demanding applications.
This white paper provides a guideline for building a nettop
platform for the worldwide sub-entry market segment using the
Intel® Desktop Board D945GCLF with the Intel® Atom™ processor 200
series. This product is Intel’s targeted solution for this
marketplace.
