Every time there's a product launch, especially for a Windows OS, the question arises about what is OEM and why is it so much less expensive than retail.

trinion-l7

I like the look of this HTPC much better than the rather modest specs, but hey, that's why you learn how to upgrade, right? The touchpad on the front is cool, but I'm waiting until we really see SideShow potential before dipping that deep into my wallet just for aesthetics.  Features of this sleek looking HTPC include: A silver chassis […]
