AOpen miniPC MP945-V based on MoDT
Technologies
AOpen Inc., an award-winning, global leader in the Mobile on Desktop (MoDT)
technology and small form factor (SFF) PC platforms, today set another milestone
in the miniaturized PC market with its new MiniPC incarnation, the MP945-V. The
new MP945-V provides silent computing environment, power conservation, and
excellent performance by integrating Intel Core Duo processors developed by
Intel with Intel Viiv and AOpen's MoDT platforms. AOpen will reveal its newest
MiniPC to channel partners tomorrow at Intel's Developers Forum in San
Francisco.
The AOpen MoDT technology differentiates the
MP945-V from competition, and makes AOpen the No. 1 brand of SFF products. The
MoDT architecture incorporates standards-based notebook components into
traditional desktop platforms. The result is a cool, quiet, high performance
environment for building thin and light machines. MoDT brings together Windows
XP Media Center Edition, PDP (plasma display), big screen LCD and other high-end
parts that make the personal computer the center of the home entertainment
system.
In addition, the MoDT empowers channel partners to create unique new products
that address the needs of their local markets, resulting in greater
differentiation in the market and increased competitive advantage. The new
MP945-V MiniPC is also the ideal solution for digital video recording and set
top box environments, digital office and vertical applications in an area of
digital signage, kiosk, gaming, and digital healthcare environments.
"There is a growing demand throughout the marketplace for sleek, quiet PCs
that deliver great desktop performance in a small package," said Chris Liu, VP
of Product & Marketing of AOpen America. "AOpen is focused on creating
innovative computing platforms that usher in a new era of working, playing, and
living. Our MoDT and Intel Viiv based MP945-V Mini-PC fits seamlessly into the
digital lifestyle. We are pleased to offer technology that addresses the needs
of our channel partners and the consumer marketplace."
The new MP945-V MiniPC has a 6" by 6" footprint and weighs less than five
pounds. A motherboard design houses a CPU socket for Core Duo, Intel 945GM core
logic, DDR2-SODIMM memory banks and a mini-PCI expansion slot. The AOpen
MiniPC also includes a built-in component, S-Video, composite out port as well
as 5.1 channel audio.
The MP945-V features Gigabit Ethernet, DVI, Firewire and USB 2.0. A
SATA riser allows the 2.5" hard drive and slot-loading DVD burner to easily
detach and reattach to the motherboard.
The MSRP for a fully configured MP945-V with Core Duo will start at $899.00.
