Medion Akoya Mini is another in line of EEE PC challengers, which proves that EEE started a real revolution on sub-notebook market. This newcomer also feeatues Linux as choice-OS, but also has 1 GB of RAM, as standard feature, two USB ports, memory card slot, 1.3 megapixel webcam, VGA out… Medion Akoya Mini wil debut in Europe soon, and the price tag will be 399 EUR.

Fujitsu F-A50 is stylish and cool desktop computer similar to iMac in design and targeted audience. It is still smaller than iMac, with 16" display, but other features prove it is a "powerhouse" for anyone that thinks computer is not just a "machine" but rather a piece of furniture. Here we go with the tech specs for Fujitsu F-A50:
 
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 at 2.1 GHz
RAM: 2 Gb or 4 Gb
HDD: 250 Gb SATA
Graphic chipset: X3100

Bluetooth: Yes
Display: 16" 1366*768 px

F-A50 is according to Fujitsu silent PC, and it makes only 30 dB noise. Of course, we would like to see a better display (only 1366*768 px is really low), but for 800 EUR price tag (in Japan) this machine is not so bad competitor to iMac.
