Onkyo unveils Intel Atom N270-powered DP312 nettop

Onkyo has debuted the simple-looking DP312 nettop box in Japan that packs some powerful specs but also brings along a hefty price tag.

Both versions of the DP312 are powered by an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor. For ¥64,800 ($694), a buyer will get a nettop box with 2GB of RAM, 320GB of hard drive space, NVIDIA ION graphics and a DVD drive.

But for ¥20,000 ($214) more, the DP312 will also come packed with 4GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive, a Digital TV tuner and AM/FM radio. Unfortunately, it looks like this box is only in Japan for the time being.
