While netbooks are getting all the attention these days, Lenovo thinks the desktop can get a piece of that small-form-factor low cost action.  They released the C100 all-in-one widescreen desktop computer starting at $399.

The Lenovo C100 features an 18.5in (16:9) flat-panel driven by the Intel GMA 950 chipset.  They packed in 160GB hard drive and 1GB of RAM all powered by the Intel Atom 330 dual-core processor.  It also rocks four USB ports, integrated DVD burner, webcam, speakers and a microphone crammed into a 2-inch deep profile, rivaling some LCD monitors.
