To test power consumption today we are using a Kill A Watt meter and measuring the load at the wall. Monitors and peripherals are not fed through the same socket. All power saving features are enabled in the bios.
Power consumption is very good indeed, averaging around 45 watts when watching high definition movies. We recorded a peak around 65 watts.
Wow thats tiny to keep an i5 cool. very impressed with that. CPU cooler is so small……. might be borderline to keep that clean after a year or two. temps get high as it is, brand new. I remember opening my last PC and the CPu cooler was b asically blocked with dust.
That piano black looks brilliant brand new, see after a month? it is a nightmare. my TV is the same, the outter bevel is piano black and its consantlely being cleaned.
Wish they did a version in aluminum, like Apple products, that would be wicked. Id never buy apple for a media center as their OS doesnt support bluray and you need to mod it to Windows and add a player….. useless.
Nice.
I had an ATOM powered Sapphire system after reading the review here and it sucked. so frigging slow. never touching atom again.
The back I/O is good, but why no DVI? seems bizarre when they have everything there but the kitchen sink
Nice product but you could have compared the gaming performance to … well anything! Also whats with the deal with the 20+ pages for a review that really need be no more than half a dozen? Other than that nice work.
