[QUOTE="deadmonty, post: 1141079, member: 88322"] Just bought one of these for £119 for use as an MP TV Client. It has a four core 1.83 MHz Atom processor and Intel Gen 7 HD graphics with 2 Gb ram and 32 Gb storage (flash?). It has Windows 8.1 (Bing Edition) pre-installed. It has Wi Fi, Bluetooth and 10/100 Ethernet built in, and a slot for a flash card to increase storage. Don't understand why manufacturers still install 10/100 when gigabit is almost ubiquitous now. This PC is [U]very[/U] small, and air cooled - so its completely silent. As an MP TV Client it is perfect, playing everything I could throw at it without dropping frames. I connect it to an AV amp through a HDMI cable. It supports HDMI and VGA output. It uses 12 W, as opposed to the 300 W HTPC it replaced. The only let down I have encountered is the 10/100 Ethernet. I bought a USB to Gigabit Ethernet adaptor, which although it doesn't run at the stated gigabit speed (a limitation of USB 2 which runs at 480 Mbs), it makes a huge improvement when showing lists of hundreds of CDs and videos. I was so impressed with the product and its remarkably low price that I bought a second one. And no, I don't work for Sumvision or have any affiliation to them. [/QUOTE]
