Shuttle are best known for producing a wide range of small form factor PCs including complete systems and barebone units which can be filled with components to suit the user’s needs. The main selling points are the small size of the units, but also the high quality finish of the cases which aren’t out of place sitting next to your flatscreen TV.

Surprisingly the design aesthetics Shuttle are well-known for have never been applied to a product outside of its desktop range, but there are rumors that is about to change and Shuttle are considering manufacturing a line of laptops.

DigiTimes is reporting that Shuttle are issuing 150,000 new shares in order to raise capital and wants to build a new 40-person team for the design and production of the laptops. Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) has also been mentioned as a company housing the talent Shuttle needs and intend to tempt staff away from for its new team. ECS are a Taiwanese company specializing in the design of motherboards, but also manufacture a range of systems including barebones PCs and laptops.

ECS says it has no knowledge of any of its staff being approached and Shuttle has not released any information regarding such a move. The company did, however, recently unveil the X50 Touchscreen all-in-one PC which is a tablet PC with a carry handle and can be seen above.

Matthew’s Opinion

I really like the design of the Shuttle small form factor PCs, but have always found them to be an expensive option when considering building a small footprint system. You pay a high premium for a small box that looks so nice. The X50 is quite attractive too and it doesn’t take much imagination to see it with a keyboard next to that screen in a laptop format.

I think a Shuttle laptop range, and netbook for that matter, would be quite popular as it could really stand out from the crowd with its design aesthetics. I fear they may carry the same premium as the company’s current systems, but then they may appeal to the same crowd as buys MacBooks, but would rather stick with a Windows-based solution.

At the moment this remains just an industry rumor, but I hope it happens just to see what Shuttle can produce.
