Teeny notebook computers are all about compromise: you either get a small, light machine that’s affordable with almost no features, or you can get a light and small machine will bells and whistles…and it’s super expensive.

Quote from the review at HardOCP:
“The SN25P is Shuttle’s latest foray in to the Athlon64 socket 939 market. This system is designed with the much hyped NVIDIA nForce4 MCP chipset, supporting all Athlon64-based socket 939 CPUs, DDR RAM modules operating in Dual Channel mode, and PCI Express x16 type video cards. Being a small form factor solution means that the SN25P requires the minimum amount of components for a functioning system, including the following: Athlon64 socket 939 CPU, DDR memory, and a PCI Express x16 video card. The following components have been integrated in to the SN25P’s design: 1 IDE ATA-133 port; 4 SATA-300 ports (both IDE and SATA ports are RAID 0 and 1 capable); 1 floppy port; 6 USB 2.0 capable ports (4 in rear panel, and 2 in front panel); 2 IEEE 1394 capable ports (1 in rear panel, 1 in front panel); 1 Marvell Gigabit Ethernet port in rear panel; VIA Envy24 8-channel audio codec featuring S/PDIF optical input / output and RCA output ports; and serial and PS/2 port support.”
