PC Asrock Ion 330-BD

This device is actually a variant of Ion nettop Asrock 330 that we tested last October. Just to remind, Asrock 330 ion is the nettop that combines Intel's Atom N270 processor with nVidia chipset Ion.

This combination is deviated from the general grip Atom nettop is usually paired with the Intel chipset. But his mbalelo Asrock makes sense, because our tests have proved Asrock 330 Ion better performance than other nettop.

Success is what may make Asrock Ion release appendage 330 with "BD". Here means BluRay BD, which suggests that the BD series is equipped with the BluRay optical devices. The price itself is around U.S. $ 485, or U.S. $ 130 more expensive than the plain version. However, given the current BluRay Player price reach Rp. 5 million, this device could be a replacement device BluRay Player "real".

Moreover, the facilities provided by this device is similar to BluRay Player. At the rear, you'll find an HDMI connector to connect to today's television. Another alternative, available VGA-Out facility so that it can also be connected to a regular monitor. Unfortunately in this Asrock 330 Ion Component Out there is no facility that can not be connected to a standard television.

However, we hope to make this as a substitute Ion 330 BluRay Player to see constraints on the software side. Ion 330 attend the first because without the operating system. Inside his CD player software is not available any BluRay movies. BluRay So to play movies, you have to buy an operating system (Windows 7 Starter approximately U.S. $ 62) and WinDVD 9 (approximately U.S. $ 60). Linux is also not an option because BluRay Player for Linux software still needs much improvement.

If two software can be resolved, Ion-BD 330 can indeed be a substitute BluRay Player. We prove it by mengoneksikan device weighs 1.7 kg is to television B6000 Samsung LCD TV using HDMI. The film No Country For Old Man in a perfect piece of BluRay terputar in Full HD resolution (1920x1080). We also can play HD-1080p video without halting. It's special because you can not do on the Intel chipset-based nettop that dominate the market today.

Outside of his ability BluRay, Ion 330-BD has facilities like a standard nettop. In addition to HDMI, on the rear panel are available 6 USB ports, gigabit ethernet, SPDI-F Out. While for storing data, available hard drive with 320GB capacity. One thing regrettable is the unavailability of our WiFi facility to connect to a wireless network at home.

With tiny design and appearance of the glossy, 330-BD Ion Asrock very fit in the family room, side by side with your HD television. Moreover, this device is very silent in operation. But the combination of hardware and software require funds of around Rp. 6 million, so it is still more expensive than regular BluRay Player. However, because the Asrock 330 Ion-BD is a computer that can also be used to type, connected to the internet, and store data, the device still fits in your living room.
