Hong Kong based systems integrator Quataris has updated its all-in-one Pentium 4 based analog TV/PC design. The new Ottimo model, which features an innovative mechanical design, supports processors up to 2.8GHz, comes with 15-, 17-, or 19-inch screens, and is available pre-installed with SUSE Linux.

Quataris shipped a similar design in April, the QuaNext PC (pictured at right). That device featured a more traditional LCD TV form factor.

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.

The Ottimo can be “customized on order,” Quataris says. However, base specs include:
