Onkyo Japan announces the introduction of the HDC-1L nettop audio PC system. It’s an interesting concept actually – building a system designed to handle digital audio playback. I’ve always been a fan of developing vertical solutions around nettops and netbooks and the HDC-1L is a great example of such a vertical solution. Specs include:

• Intel Atom processor running at 1.6GHz
• Intel 945GC Express Chipset
• Windows XP Home Edition
• 1GB RAM
• 160GB SATA HDD
• DVD SuperMulti drive
• 6 USB 2.0 ports
• Ethernet
• SN ratio of 120dB

Three versions will be available:

• HDC-1L for 59,800 Yen
• HDC-1LGX with 15 watt stereo speakers for 74,800 Yen
• HDC-1LGX/19W1 with 15 watt stereo speakers and a 19 inch 1440 x 900 monitor for 99,800 Yen
