Tweet

ViewSonic have released two new mini PCs in the form of the ViewSonic VOT530 and the VOT550 (we actually previously featured the ViewSonic VOT550 back here) both of which come with Intel Core Duo processors under the hood, run Windows 7 and, lending themselves to being great front room entertainment hubs, integrated wireless connectivity.

Measuring is at a particularly compact 165 x 50 x 165 mm and weighing just 1.4kg, both of ViewSonic’s new mini PCs are powered by 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo T6600 processors, come with GMA45 integrated graphics and, as well as offering up Ethernet connectivity, also boast 802.11n WiFi whilst additional highlights include six USB 2.0 ports, DVI-I and S/PDIF outputs and an eSATA port.

Supplied complete with remote controls allowing you to control multimedia applications from the comfort of your armchair, the ViewSonic VOT530 packs 2GB RAM, a 320GB hard disk and a DVD±RW Super Multi drive whilst the VOT550 ups the anti with an additional 2GB of RAM (totalling 4GB), upping the HDD capacity to 500GB and swapping out the DVD±RW Super Multi drive in favour of a Blu-ray drive.

“ViewSonic is changing the way that people think about computing,” said ViewSonic North America VP and general manager Jeff Volpe, in a statement. “By providing our customers with multipurpose devices that serve as both Internet servers and entertainment hubs, we are helping them connect with digital content in the most convenient way possible, whether live streaming video or accessing downloaded content stored on the hard drive.”

In term of pricing, the ViewSonic VOT530 mini PC will set you back some $749 whilst the Blu-ray touting ViewSonic VOT550 comes in at $949. Both of ViewSonic’s new mini PCs are available as of now.
