ASRock Core 100HT

ASRock Core 100HT Nettop Review

At the end of last year week took a look at one of ASRock’s first nettop the ION 330HT, which was built around Intel’s Atom processor. With the release of Intel’s Core processors ASRock rebuilt their nettop series around this new architecture. These new nettops bring more processing power, full native 1080p playback, 7.1-channel HD audio, 802.11n wireless networking, and USB 3.0 support. We will be looking at the Core 100HT today which features an Intel Core i3-330M processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 500GB hard drive and a SuperMulti optical drive. Let’s take a look and see if the Core 100HT is perfect for your home theater setup. Special thanks to ASRock for providing us with the Core 100HT Nettop to review. The Core 100HT comes in a nice colorful retail package. On the front there is a picture of both black and white versions of the nettop. On the side of the package you have all of your system specific specifications. Opening the box up everything inside is nicely protected. Inside you will find the Core 100HT nettop, power adapter, MCE remote, HDMI to DVI adapter, SATA cable, internal molex power connector, extra screws, an Intel case badge, getting started guide and software and driver CD’s.
