Way to expensive.
At £440 minus HDD and RAM, add a 240GB SSD, 4GB RAM and a legit copy of Windows your looking at around £650. For that money you can get a decent ultrabook from Dell or Sony Outlet (for example).
£300 for the Barebones unit i may take a punt.
Is this where new AMD GPU's might hit the mark?
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
I just don't see the point in these mini PCs, every conclusion is the same, yes to multimedia no to games...but why spend such an obscene amount of money on something that is so limited in use ?
You could build a current-gen crushing game PC for £500, put it in a box only a little bit bigger, and have a truly versatile machine (not to mention something you can tinker with without voiding a warranty).

Urgh, definitely not worth it. 5400rpm? A SSHD (hybrid) could have been added if not a full blown ssd. Only one DIMM slot too. Makes it more expensive to upgrade the ram - instead of buying another 4gb to add to the 4 in it, you'll need to buy a whole 8gb.
Desktop pcs are going the way of the laptop - you pay more for a smaller chassis.
