I think that refers to the processor's TDP. Marketing loves to use ambiguous statements like that. The GTX 650 has a 70W TDP by itself, I think
 
Are you sure that ain't a GTX 650M? If so, It's a bargain, to get a MacBook Pro Retina performance for the price of a Mac Mini.

There's no way they'll fit regular GTX 650 on that small box.

The Haswell chip is also most likely a mobile chip.
 


I didn't really see the scale before, but the previous model is barely 10" long. I think you're right; there is just no way you could fit a desktop processor and graphics card in there, never mind all the other stuff. It explains the 70W TDP, too

 
With more and more cloud services and media streaming. Toss in BD and this could be a great media center.

My media center has the "powerful" GTX 650 ti(hahahaaaa. I got it for its lower power when watching video[MSI cyclone is also VERY quiet] and some light gaming.) and CUDA support helps with some programs too. Its not a bad card, but not going to push top end settings either.
 


The optical drive slot gave out the scale.



If you look closely enough, this Giada actually has a BD drive.
 


High-end status of a device is not always determined by the GPU.
