This looks like a great extender for any HTPC Enthusiast. Question is will it be powerful enough to handle decoding of HD streams? The exterior looks beautiful with the bamboo, not sure it would match many entertainment centers. If all these tablet and smartbook shenanigans haven’t won you over, but you still feel the call of Tegra 2, Pegatron might have […]
Read moreI know it’s not solid state, but for years before SSD even existed we HTPC users loved using 2.5" hard drives in our systems due to the lower noise they generated and the space saving.
