Almost three months ago, we heard of the next-gen AOpen MiniPC that promises to have its loud fan problem fixed. Today, AOpen officially announced this new MP945-VXR model, which sports a sleek black finish. Nice try to stay ahead of Apple, which seems to have taken on an interest in black even since the iPod 5th Gen.
The 16.5 x 16.5cm footprint MiniPC will feature a Core Duo processor, running Intel’s 945GM integrated chipset, together with Gigabit Ethernet, DVI output, Firewire, SATA hard drive, slot-loading DVD writer, 5.1 channel audio, built-in mic and Windows XP Media Center Edition.
The sad news is it’ll no longer be priced like the $500 first generation MiniPC. This one will carry a MSRP of €749 (~US$960).
