ELMSHORN, Germany, April 23 /PRNewswire/ --

- X50 Model Series Only 3.6 cm Thin / Now Available in Europe

Shuttle Inc., the market leader in the Mini-PC segment and manufacturer
of Multi-Form-Factor solutions, announces the availability of a new product
generation. The All-in-One-PC X 5000TA is a blend of energy-saving
technologies and an innovative operating design. Once again, Shuttle's
customary design and its high-quality finish are reflected in the new
All-in-One-PC.

The only 3.6 cm thin All-in-One-PC comes supplied with an Intel Atom 330
processor (2x 1.6 GHz), 1 GB DDR2 memory, a 160 GB hard disk and Windows
Vista Home Basic. The X 5000TA's high-gloss finish together with the visual
chrome elements break new ground.

"Compact, power-saving All-in-One-PCs open up new and interesting
application areas whether as a second PC for fast internet access, as part of
a home automation system, for IP/videotelephony or for the next generation to
obtain their first computer experiences," says Tom Seiffert, Head of
Marketing & PR at Shuttle Computer Handels GmbH. "The possibilities for these
devices are also becoming increasingly apparent in the business sector; for
instance information can be displayed at the POS and finger-based or stylus
inputs can be made."

Meeting the requirements of its All-in-One product category, the X 5000TA
has the complete integration of a Mini-PC in a touch-sensitive 15.6 inch
screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768. It also comes supplied with a 1.3
megapixel-webcam, sound-rich stereo loudspeakers, microphone and WLAN in the
modern N-Standard.

Furthermore, the feature set includes Gigabit network, 5x USB 2.0,
6-channel audio, a card reader, Kensington-Lock, a VGA-out for external
monitors and a control panel to adjust the loudspeakers, screen and the blue
LED. An efficient Heatpipe Cooling System is present to cool the whole system
effectively. A fanless, external 65 watt power supply provides the
All-in-One-PC with power.

Folded upwards by 180 degrees, the chromed anti-slip pedestal can be used
as a carrying handle. The practical VESA mounting surface on the back of the
device enables it to be attached to monitor arms and wall mounts.

In the case of a warranty claim the purchaser of the Complete System can
make use of the 24 month Pick-up-and-Return-Service and a Europe-wide free
telephone hotline.

The Shuttle X 5000TA Complete System is available immediately from
specialist retailers or via the Shuttle Systems Configurator. Shuttle's
recommended retail price is EUR 499 (ex VAT). Alternatively, the X 5000TA can
be ordered as "X50XA" system in similar configuration just without operating
system and 24 months of Bring-in warranty service for EUR 419 (ex VAT). Click
