    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

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

    Thorough review!

    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)

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