Noisy fan
HD graphics don't live up to expectations
One of the problem with previous ION infused nettops such as the Revo was the piddly processor
Meaning hi-res Flash video like BBC iPlayer HD was a no go. We were hoping the dual core upgrade in the Viewsonic VOT132 would mean better handling
Abstract: You need to factor in the cost of a mouse, keyboard and TFT display when you're considering the price of the ViewSonic PC mini 132, but no matter how you cut it the ViewSonic represents good value for money. The Atom processor is relatively slow but i...
The use of a dual-core Atom CPU makes a world of difference to the Ion platform and means that the Viewsonic PC Mini 132 is small, quiet, cheap and effective. ® Next: Mini PC Best Buys Sponsored: Why every enterprise needs an Internet Performanc...

We like the Viewsonic VOT132 PC Mini, but knowing that a similarly specced Acer Aspire Revo upgrade is nearing release, we'd definitely hold tight on the wallet until the verdict is in on it. Right now, the Viewsonic VOT132 PC Mini doesn't offer t...
The concept of a nettop with more power is good, although we hoped the combination of dual-core Atom, 2GB of RAM and nVidia graphics chip would put a clearer gap between this and a regular netbook. As it was, better graphics can be found on the Asus E...
Abstract: In the ’90s, the term “book PC” was a euphemism for a small form-factor PC that was about the same size as a book . . . if the book happened to be an unabridged Webster’s dictionary. The ViewSonic VOT132 is a “nettop PC” base...
Abstract: It's thin, but it's no thin client: 's VOT132 ($449 at ViewSonic's online store) is one of the smallest PCs you can buy -- it weighs a pound and measures 5.3 by 7.5 by 1 inches, about the size of a trade paperback or a bit slimmer than a stack of two...

Very nice design, Small enough to mount behind most displays, Solid HD performance
Relatively high cost, Poor playback with some content, Optical support is optional
The VOT132, especially with the VDD100 drive, makes for an ideal machine to connect to your home entertainment center. It's small enough to fit, powerful enough to handle high-res content, and can even bear the burden of DVD playback duties. Flash streami...
While the VOT 132’s media capabilities are excellent and the dual core Atom processor makes multi-tasking a lot more realistic, there is a big flaw with the VOT 132 though: the amount of noise it makes. The slim line cooling fan mounted atop both th...
