Lenovo is claiming to have the title of “world’s smallest desktop PC” with its new IdeaCentre Q180. While the claim may just be Lenovo’s boasting, the Q180 is certainly a small PC standing at just about the size of a DVD case.

Following up on yesterday’s post, Asus has made the Eee Top all-in-one PC official. As for the specs, there are no real surprises to be found, although Asus only mentioned the lower-end ET1602 and seemed to have left the ET1603 out.

Just as a recap, the ET1602 will feature a 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, Wi-Fi 802.11, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, and a pair of built-in 4-watt speakers.

This All In One PC will be powered by a 1.6GHz Atom processor and will have 1GB of memory and 160GB of hard drive. Averatec also put in Wi-Fi as a standard feature plus a 1.3-megapixel camera.
