Technological progress is on the alert. In order to keep up with the times, you need to be aware of all the new products that appear on the market, even if you do not plan to purchase them yet. After all, who owns the information, owns the world. Everyone already knows about computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones. But what is nettop, have not yet fully figured out.
The word itself is a tracing-paper from the English “nettop” formed from the components of the words “InterNET” and “deskTOP”. If you try to translate the received, it will look something like a "desktop computer". In fact, this is a stationary analogue of a netbook.

We wanted to become a base for nettops. Initially, the nettop was created to work mainly with Internet applications.To make it very simple, the nettop can be called a miniature system unit.

But such models are, of course, expensive.Nettops are now not only based on Intel Atom processors. The buyer can choose the processor at his discretion. Today they are increasingly being purchased for use as home servers.
What is a nettop in terms of user convenience? These are compactness, a minimum of wires, ease, esthetics, simplicity of installation. Nettop performance is certainly lower than conventional PCs, but this is offset by their very small size and fairly low power consumption.
