The ultra-compact diamond-shaped Veriton N260G can stand alone or snap onto the back of an optional LCD that supports the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS). Pre-loaded with Windows XP Professional, this nettop is equipped with an Intel Atom™ Processor for reduced energy usage and lower operating costs.
Acer America today announced the new Veriton N260G-U2802CP, an ultra-compact nettop for the U.S. professional market. It will be available via Acer’s authorized resellers with prices beginning at just $399.
Housed in a sleek one-liter chassis, the Veriton N260G maximizes space whether it’s placed upright with its retractable stand or attached to the back of a display. Due to its small size and flexible design, this practical nettop is well-suited for small offices, reception areas, classrooms, libraries, showrooms, call centers, hotel front desks or airline check-in kiosks.
“Combining a sleek form factor with power saving technology, the Veriton N260G is a convenient, low-maintenance device for accomplishing basic computing tasks in areas where there is little desk space,” said Leila Axelle Robert, Acer Commercial Systems Business Manager. “Whether the Veriton N260G is leveraged for classrooms, libraries or administrative purposes, this nettop delivers a streamlined solution for a small investment with a low total cost of ownership.”
Power Saving Technology, Energy Star Qualified
The Veriton N260G-U2802CP combines a low power consumption Intel Atom™ processor with an Intel GN40 Express Chipset, a practical platform for basic productivity and Internet-based applications. With up to 2GB of memory, a 160GB hard drive and Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M, the Veriton N260G has ample storage and can playback high-definition videos and display sharp images in vivid color.
The Veriton N260G is Energy Star qualified and given its extremely compact size, it uses less material and packaging than other PCs. It also features Acer PowerSaver, which gives users the option to conserve energy and power on demand.
Smart Design Boasts Flexible Mounting System and Cable Management
A VESA mounting system enables the nettop to easily adhere to the rear of various displays. This space-saving all-in-one capability makes it easy to fit in almost any work area. The VESA mount offers vertical adjustment to ensure that the power button and memory card reader are perfectly accessible from the top of the LCD display.
A screw-less chassis eases upgrades and maintenance, while a smart design ensures neat cable management and quiet operation. In addition, the OneButton Recovery re-set pinhole restores systems to retrieve documents in case of a power failure or other issue.
The nettop comes with an array of ports for connecting to a wide array of peripherals and digital devices. These include HDMI to deliver crisp, high quality images, a multi-in-1 card reader, six USB 2.0 ports, high-definition headphone and microphone jacks and a PS/2 slot. WiFi 802.11 b/g/Draft N and Gigabit Ethernet are also provided to deliver users an efficient, secure and stable LAN connection.
Easy-to-Use Utility Suite Simplifies Routine Tasks
The Veriton ControlCenter is pre-loaded on the N260G. It’s a user-friendly utility suite designed to help users streamline routine tasks and ultimately save time. The Veriton ControlCenter includes the following handy tools:
- Acer QuickMigration quickly updates and transfers personal data from one PC to another using a common network cable.
- Acer PowerSaver configures power levels according to computer usage; low power for normal use and energy saving, and high power when top performance is required.
