The Onkyo P3 is a nettop, a desktop that isn't designed to play high power computer games or to handle large loads - a nettop is designed to access the internet, do document processing, and to play multimedia all while delivering a tiny size and a inexpensive price. However the Onkyo P3 does not deliver the expected inexpensive price, instead it costs the same amount as a basic, more powerful computer. The cost seems to be because of the modular design of the netttop - it is built so the DVD-ROM is a separate piece that clips into the side of the Onkyo P3. The nettop has a decent 2GB of memory, 160GB of hard drive space, and an average 1.6GHz Atom 230 processor. Ignoring the unexciting choice for a processor, the nettop's insides match its sleek design.
