  1. Wow that is tiny, smallest computer ive seen.

  2. I have the same hard drive in my dell laptop and its dire. Apart from that this looks like a nice system. Small too.

    Id change the hdd but not much else

  3. The green top is wicked, is that an led?

    Great looking media system. Well constructed

  4. Shame it isnt a tiny bit bigger and had a bluray drive. Bit i pose it would cost 400 then

  5. They should do one in black and green

  6. I am ordering one as I love the fact this has displayport ! I will replace the drive and use it as an external storage unit. great review thanks.

  7. really pretty little nettop system, I love the appearance and loads of ports. including displayport and HDMI.

    Shame they dropped the ball a little with the hard drive, but its easy replaced and I like the fact you can put your own OS on it too

  8. Or you could just buy the barebones one and get the RAM and drive yourself.

    Thorough review!

  9. do you think it will be able to run Pro Evolution Soccer 2011/2012 with an acceptable fps?

    I’ve seen it run on a core i3 (before sandybridge) cpu + intel hd graphics and for me it works pretty well! (720p)

  10. Lower RPM drive is to keep the box cool. A higher RPM Drive may cause heat issues.

  11. Wonder if the remote will work with Linux

  12. Diego
    HD6310 destroy i3 graphic by a 3x factor.
