When the first computer was announced to the world, it took a small building to house it and ran just a single CPU inside its vast mass. So far in fact, that in today’s ever shrinking world of electronics, you can almost fit one in your pocket. Let’s not talk about mobile phones that masquerade as small PC’s when they really arent, instead lets talk bona fide, genuine desktop PCs here.

The flag bearer in this field has undoubtedly been Apple when it comes to minifying, but other companies are catching on and they aren’t making Mac minis, instead mini PCs. Provide a warm welcome to the latest addition to the mini market, the Novatech ION Mini a small but perfectly powerful PC that is cleverer than Paul Daniels.

You see, as well as bringing great performance allowing you to surf the net, play games and watch movies, it can also be attached to the back of your monitor. As an added bonus, it’ll hide the plethora of wires usually attached to computer hardware and if you combine this with the use of a wireless mouse and keyboard, you really do have the ideal, space saving, energy efficient solution to that additional PC you always wanted. And the additional bonus - you won’t even be able to see it!

It is not the most beautiful piece of hardware, but it really does pack a punch when it comes to PC components, featuring the Intel Atom dual core CPU and matched with a 250gb drive and 2gb of memory. If that wasn’t enough to tempt you, it also comes with 6 USB2 ports, both HDMI and DVI output and a built in card reader and all of this for just £259.

Whether you want something for the kids bedroom, your own bedroom or something to hide behind your TV in the living room, the Novatech ION mini provides the ultimate clutter-free solution and still packs a punch performance wise.
