"Ultra Mini" Desktops by ACER.......

Acer's new ultra-small form factor desktops have arrived in the Indian subcontinent. They're being called "3-litre" desktops because of their volume -- pretty small. The "Ultra Mini" Aspire L5100 and L3600 are designed for home users with a yen for style, ergonomics, and portability -- with a generous dose of processing power thrown in.
Both models sport a sleek, Steel-Black frame. Acer claims the frame is about a tenth of the size and a quarter of the weight of a conventional tower desktop. External features include a 19-inch TFT display and a slim keyboard with soft-touch keys, blue LED lighting, 17 hotkeys, and a volume knob. The L3600 is powered by an Intel Pentium E2140 dual-core processor @ 1.6 GHz, while the L5100 is powered by an AMD Athlon64 X2 4000+ @ 2.1 GHz.
Both systems have 1 GB of DDR2 RAM and a 160 GB, 7200 rpm SATA hard disk. Both come with Linux installed, and come with a 16x DVD-R/W Super-Multi Drive.
The desktops both support Multimedia Card (MMC), Secure Digital (SD), xD-Picture Card (xD), Memory Stick PRO (MS PRO), and Memory Stick (MS).
