We'll see if we can swing by the Asus booth for more info on this one, but the basics of the new Asus Nova P22 small-form-factor PC include 802.11n wireless, an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, and a $799 price tag when it comes to the U.S. in late January. That looks like a slot-loading DVD drive, too. 802.11n Wi-Fi is great, we'd like to see more of it and expect to this year. Otherwise, this system looks like a black, Windows version of a
Mac Mini. Throw in an HD-optical drive (OK, Blu-ray, probably no more need to equivocate
at this point), and we'd be more impressed.
