Asrock had a hectic showing during this year's Taipei Computex, armed to the teeth with various new products including motherboards based on newfangled chipsets such as the Intel Z68 and AMD 990FX. Despite showcasing a bevy of boards, our interest was piqued by the latest entry in the company's long line of mini PCs. Last year we examined the Vision 3D, the successor to the Core 100HT and Asrock's first mini PC to stray from the norm by dropping Intel's Atom processor for a much snappier Core Mobile chip. With significantly more CPU power, the results were impressive, but the Core 100HT still had one major weakness: Intel's HD Graphics

Thankfully, Asrock got its act together with the Vision 3D, outfitting the system with Intel's Core Mobile processors (the flagship model carried a Core i5-560M). The company also kept the HM55 chipset but made one noteworthy change with the Vision 3D: the inclusion of an Nvidia GeForce GT425M discrete graphics card.

he CoreHT Series includes three models that mostly vary based on the processor and the optical drive. The flagship is known as the 252B and it sports the Core i5 2520M along with a Blu-ray drive. The 231B gets a slower Core i3 2310M but keeps the Blu-ray drive, while the 231D is outfitted with the 2310M and a DVD drive.
