Likewise, I think this is priced too expensive for what it is. IMO it doesn't beat the competition (Intel NUC, Mac Mini & other SFF PCs) so I don't see how they can charge so much for it.
Cheap at half the price. Actually no, about right then...
IMO, this thing would be awesome with the haswell upgrade. That new i74558U part would be great. It has a TDP of 28W compared to the 35W of the IB so would run cooler & quieter. Also has the iris graphics as well. Just needs a display port then would be pretty good.
At this price I just do not see the point of it. Intel NUC beats it hands down (although still a bit noisy for me - at least until you replace the case). Not good enough as an HTPC, too pricey as a small server, too expensive as a cheap desktop.
Total waste of plastic
I find it strange that this review does not feature any photographs of the unit that allow the reader to get an idea of it's size relative to other desktop items - especially as it's size is one of it's most notable features.
