The whole netbook craze has definitely spilled over into the desktop market full force. Shuttle is getting into the game with the X50, though there doesn’t appear to be anything unique about it aside from the carrying handle. I’m all for low power desktops since most of us probably don’t need powerful CPUs for regular web surfing, email and IM, but I fail to see the need for a carrying handle. If you’re going to cart a PC around the house, netbooks are quickly growing in size with some touting 12" displays and a battery means you’re not limited to the nearest power outlet. I just don’t see being able to swing a nettop around the house as compelling enough to choose Shuttle over any other nettop out there.

The Shuttle X50 will be available in April 2009 for an around  $539.00
