Description
HUNGRY? You will be when you feast your eyes on AVEIO™!


Launched exclusively into the UK at Stuff Live 2003, AVEIO represents everything that is exciting about future technology. Outrageously unique, AVEIO integrates the style craved by the sophisticated UK market with the breathtaking versatility synonymous with the latest technologies hitting our shores.


A landmark lifestyle product incorporating the very best features from today’s high end PCs, Home Entertainment Systems and Games Machines, AVEIO is small without compromising style.


Combining all the essential characteristics necessary to excite the boys and girls who love their toys, AVEIO has ensured that form meets function in a delicious recipe of style and versatility. Impossible to resist, AVEIO will look great wherever it rests. At home or at the office, it is capable of satisfying every need whether the interest is in its awesome ability to number-crunch, its home cinema, with 6.1 Dolby™ Surround Sound or its aptitude to play the biggest, loudest and most challenging of today’s PC computer games. And what is truly mind-blowing about AVEIO is its patented liquid cooling system, allowing the machine to run virtually cold, putting an end to the noise of the traditional fan cooling systems.


AVEIO’s launch into the UK marks a significant shift in attitude towards small form computers. Gone are the days of reciting ‘big is beautiful’, as AVEIO proves beyond question that ‘small equals style’. About one third the size of a traditional PC, AVEIO puts an end to hiding hardware away as its sexy exterior demands to be shown off.


Completing the AVEIO package are a 17” TFT monitor, wireless keyboard and optical mouse.


FORGET LUXURY, AVIEO™ IS A NECESSITY.

Are you kidding mate?

Anyone seen the SN85G4 with mirored front panel.

Seriously cool (improved at least)

[pickers]

That has got to be the worst looking SFF to date, and also the vaugest spec sheet ever! I'd love to know exactly what consitutes a "17" Pro TFT Monitor"! Oh and it is no doubt a complete rip off at £999.

Pickers

[Sven]

I agree with Pickers, it's one ugly mother.

£999, hhhmmm me thinks I'll be keeping my cash firmly in my pocket.

I think I'll be sticking with my shiny Qbic

[Anddos]

Individual components (includingOS) at a very quick tot up by me add up to little over £800.

Clearly they will have to offer support services like a PC retailer, but £1K is still looking too much to me.
