Viewsonic's VOT132 nettop with HDMI and DVI

Lars, over at Netbooknews, has posted a hands-on video with the new Viewsonic nettops – the VOT130 and VOT132.  We are impressed, these nettops look realy good.  The VOT130 uses a standard netbook-like configuration, but the VOT132 gets the dual core Intel Atom 330 chip as well as Nvidia Ion with DVI and HDMI out.   On top of all of that, the case in which the VOT nettops are packaged is tiny, stylish, and easy to upgrade.

These nettops look like they are going to be a huge hit when they come to the UK.  Oh, we almost forgot, there’s also a sleek DVD module that can be magnetically attached to these nettops.   No word yet on UK pricing or availability, but we will report it as soon as we know.

Check out the video after the break.

Viewsonic VOT 130 Ion powered nettop

Above, and pictured, we have the Viewsonic VOT 130 which is a pretty typical nettop with an Atom N270 CPU, GMA950 graphics, up to 2GB of RAM, and a 160GB hard drive.

But there’s also a souped up model called the VOT 132 that not only packs a dual core Atom 330 CPU but also the Nvidia Ion chipset, which includes NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics. The VOT132 will also support up to 3GB of RAM and come with a 250GB hard drive, as well as HDMI output.  Of course, both model covered the basics as well with 6 USB ports, DVI, Ethernet, and 802.11b/g/n WiFi.

Prices have not yet been announced for the UK market, but in the US the VOT 130 will sell for about $331 USD while the NVIDIA ION-powered VOT 132 will be about $514 USD.
