Quataris, a Hong Kong-based systems integrator, has introduced Ottimo – a Linux-based TV/PC combo. Ottimo has an innovative mechanical design that supports processors up to 2.8GHz, Pentium 4 processor, 256MB of RAM (upgradeable to 2GB), an 80GB hard drive, Intel GMA950 integrated graphics, and a DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive; comes with 15-, 17-, or 19-inch screens.
The new Ottimo features an interesting design with a combined kickstand and carrying handle. A large button on the front panel switches the device from TV to computer.
Quataris shipped a similar design in April 2006, the QuaNext PC. That device featured a more traditional LCD TV form factor.
According to Quataris, the Ottimo can be “customized on order”.
The Quataris Ottimo design appears to be ready to manufacture, with prices starting at 1,000 Euros.
