Smaller and Smaller PCs
« on: March 23, 2009, 04:23:22 pm »
Smaller PC form factors and very low power consumption are being made available.   Great for your Video juke or portable bartop. They even have good graphic performance.   Not up for PC gameing but great for HTPC.

Link Nvidia Ion

You probably missed the Mac Mini that has been around for about 3 years now, and has a decent processor inside instead of the Atom ---Cleveland steamer---. And where's the optical drive ?? O and man does it look fugly....

Still nice for a Mame cab though :)

Mac what?    Kidding aside I would get one if I could figure out what I would do with it but with me its all about PCs or maybe PCs that run OS X as well.

Compare an $800 device with an $80 one and comment that one looks prettier than the other?  Better not no :angel:
