The K48 continues Shuttle's K-series tradition of offering a small, cost-effective computing solution. It is ideal for basic computing solutions such as web surfing or office applications in a business or home environment. With larger amounts of content coming from network sources, a Gigabit LAN is included so that it can be accessed in an instant at broadband speeds.

An integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator is able to handle most graphic needs with a powerful 400MHz core, dynamic video memory technology and enhanced 3D performance. Realtek ALC 662 six-channel high definition audio provides full, rich sound.

The small aluminum case includes a changeable front plate so users can dress up their system. Inside is a solidly performing Intel Celeron M 450 processor running at 2.0GHz and 2GB of DDR2 RAM, so it has the power to handle anything you can throw at it. A 1TB hard drive easily deals with your local storage. And a 5.25" external drive bay provides room for a SuperMulti DVD burner or Blu-ray Disc player. It is small enough to fit anywhere and has an equally small thirst for power with a 100 Watt power supply.
