The line between the computer and the television is getting blurred further and further. This phenomenon most likely first began when video game consoles essentially became full fledged computers with a component AV output. Additionally, it can be attributed to the slew of HTPCs that manufacturers have been releasing allowing consumers to give their HDTVs a previously unknown level of functionality.

While the buzz had died down for quite some time with things like Windows Media Center receiving a cold shoulder from consumers, some recent announcements has revived that buzz. First of all, the release of Apple TV actually gave Apple fanboys a reason to stray from their iMacs and MacBooks and actually use their televisions again. Second of all, a solution that a wider range of consumers are sure to take to is Google TV. This new platform essentially combines the best of the PC world with the best of the TV world allowing consumers to surf their favorite channels and record them all while being able to surf the web and check your social networks.

However, without good hardware, a simple software platform like Google TV will never be able to take off as it would have virtually no way to find itself into the homes of consumers. Thankfully, companies like Logitech have come forth to show off the Revue with Google TV set top box that will bring Google’s brand new entertainment to the publicly available consumer market.

Today, a new product has been leaked from Dell called the Zino HD 410. This product, while not going g to be running Google TV, will certainly be a capable alternative to a traditional HTPC. This computer is to feature an AMD Rs880M chipset with slots for Phenom II quad core processors, Radeon HD 4250 graphics or a Mobility Radeon 5450 GPU, up to 8GB of RAM, 802.11n WiFi and optional Blu-ray. Additionally, it features HDMI out, and an optical S/PDIF socket good for 7.1 surround sound.

No telling when this will be released considering it’s only just been leaked but we’ll let you know as soon as we do.
