Not sure what this would really compete with. Far less powerful than the Revos and Lenovos which are around the same price.
I have no experience of using that chipset, but at first glance it appears pretty weak at a price point of $310.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I can't see this favouring well when up against other nettops and google tv boxes which have come on the market in recent months.


Just noticed as well, it doesn't come with any ram, storage or wlan so add all those in and they've just priced themselves out of anything.

No go......It's too slow, and I doubt that it can playback 1080P and bitstreaming HD fluently using W7+XBMC.......

I refused to watch movie without bitstreaming HD audio!

Eskro is right. I think VIA is BY FAR the worst hardware company in all of computerdom.

I have a dislike for VIA that is only rivaled (in the software realm) by RealNetworks
