AOpen Showcases New Products at CeBIT
CDRinfo visited the AOpen booth at CeBIT and met with Fabienne Fooij, Marketing
Manager and Adriana Cobielles Castrejon, Marketing Communications Specialist
at AOpen.
Ms. Fooij introduced the new products that were shown in the exhibition
this year. She demonstrated the new motherboards. One of the most popular products
that AOpen launched this year is the mini-PC.
AOpen was showcasing its new Mini PC in a regular home environment as seen
in the picture above, delivering the same major functions that a regular
PC delivers but in a miniature version. The design is aimed for use at home
as an entertainment PC, and has also connections for digital or conventional
TV sets. Also, it will provide a large storage capacity for storing movies and music.
The exhibition also included the latest AOpen motherboards.
Above, you can see the i975Xa-YDG motherboard.
The i945GTm-VHL model can be seen in the picture above. Both motherboards feature Intel Core Duo and Core Solo CPU support.
The e-PC can be seen in the two pictures underneath. Once again, it was showcased in a regular home environment.
The EPC945GT-m8 model features an Intel 45GT+ICH7M-DH chipset. The CPU is an M 479 TYPE-Socket with support for the Intel Yonah Dual Core CPU and features an Intel 945GT OnDie VGA.
