Conclusion: Definitely worth the price
Why: I've been putting this machine through it's paces over the last five days and have to say I have been pleasantly surprised. At first I was a bit concerned about the rather weak processor. Sure, it's not going to load apps as fast as your Core 2 Quad, but then that's not what this machine is for. As a word processing, internet surfing, user friendly machine it's great.
Of course the best point is the graphics card. This machine is so much cheaper than a Mac Mini but runs just as well as a media centre. It has HDMI and can display full 1080p. I've attached a freeview stick and have also been watching TV on it.
My only gripes are first, you have to be check whether your monitor can take a vesa mount first and second, I wish they'd have used XP for now. Vista is a right pain. But that's just a personal opinion on the OS itself. I can live with it until Windows 7 :)
This has to be one of the best value PCs available today. OK the Atom CPU isn't the fastest but you don't need the fastest for everyday tasks (email, web, office) and its just fine for these, plus this one is great for video, even HD. It runs Windows Vista/7 with Aero no problem, also BBC iPlayer, Xvids, etc work fine and most games work ok too (although its by no means a gamer's machine). You can screw it to the back of a good sized monitor and make the cheapest All-in-One out there. Why buy a rubbish small-screened laptop for this money if you're just going to use it at home? Get one of these.
I'm very impressed with this machine. The first thing anyone needs to do once they have turned it on though is to remove all of the preinstalled apps that the machine comes with. There was all sorts of rubbish (McAffee, Acer Games Console, MyWinLocker included) processes running on startup that were clogging the system. After removing them all and installing Microsoft Security Essentials, you have a great machine that does everything you could ask of a low-powered home theatre pc like this. Put XBMC on it and away you go!
I have "dual booted" this with linux (ubuntu 9.04), I kept windows as I have 3 data logging programs which insist on using it.
Windows works ok, but linux is amazing - it boots quickly, runs quickly, and everything configured automatically - no searching for drivers!
the machine comes with a holder to allow it to be bolted to the back of your monitor (if you have the little screw holes!) everything is thus hidden away.
The keyboard is small, due to lack of numberpad, but is fine. it boots up with num lock on, which is very annoying as it does not have a number pad. easy to change in the bios.
