Asus Nova P22: Small computer design, large price tag

Pete — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 08:12:27 +0000

The Asus Nova P22 as you can see is a nicely design computer thanks to it being so compact; however this has come at a price. The problem is this pc is lacking in the hardware department, as the processor is only a 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo, and a small 1GB of RAM.

That is not all the graphics is a 256MB (shared) Intel GMA 3000 integrated, so although the Asus Nova P22 has that nice compact design, you do not get much for the high price tag. However it would not take much money to upgrade a couple of key features, like the RAM and that would then make the Asus Nova P22 a superb competitor for the Mac Mini.
