CNET Review
The Good: 64-bit Windows Vista PC with an impressive list of features for less than $500; compact case; HDMI output.
The Bad: Limited expansion options because of its cramped interior; lacks built-in Wi-Fi; may require some tweaking to achieve proper HDMI output; no standalone digital audio output.
