Way overpriced in my opinion.

 

[austinwillie_95]

Over priced much??....3 months later. amount sold: 1 just so i could say I bought a pc the size of a book

I'm not an Apple fan and have never bought any Apple products in my life, but if I had $1.5K to spend I think I'll get an iAnything rather than this. Base model for $1500 with only a Celeron @ 1.6 GHz, 2 GB Ram and no WiFi??!! WTF

Really? $1500 for those specs? You may as well get a $300 netbook, it is a similar size and has similar specs, with the added advantage of being fully portable.

You mean nettop. But yes, this is about 3x more expensive than similar competitive products. The advantage this mini-pc has over other nettops is the processor, which can use core i3, i5, i7 (at an additional cost higher than you can buy at any online retailer) rather than Intel Atom processors.

You can get a similar nettop configured for approximately $400-500 if they offered core i3. Severely overpriced if you ask me.

Ultrabooks?

Yea...I would totally just buy a mba or mbp with the $1500 if I'm going to be overspending anyways....

But can it play Crysis?

 

[windywoo]

No-one knows how big hardback book is these days. I think you need to compare it to a stack of Kindles or iPads.

 

[archange]

...the base model with a starting cost of $1,495...

More like a startling cost...

 

[cookoy]

For that money i can buy two decent laptops. Bet their sales for this product line will be stealthy too.

 

[molo9000]

Makes even a Mac mini look like the bargain of the century.... and you would never use the word "bargain" in the same sentence as "Mac mini". (at least at the moment. A few years ago it was the king of tiny form factor PCs)

It's a third of the price, only 10% bigger, better looking, comes with a similar selection of processors and an internal WiFi Antenna.

hi we make overly priced things that serve no real purpose. please support us like you support quadros instead of geforce (lolz on that) uhm special weird headset vr units at $4000~20000 (I made a vr showase at the franklin institute with 'top' of the line vr weirdness, flock of birds fakespace gloves and sgi computers... in other words kinect meets lcd meets nintendo power gloves, but the hardware was about $350,000)

its just an odd piece of expensive hardware. like that strange dell laptop 20" detachable bluetooth keyboard thing with a handle and 2 raid hdd storage in it. $8000 a while ago. I fixed one. someone set it up as raid-0. lololololol, for a business with no redundancy. (Dell XPS M2010)

 

[cptnjarhead]

hmmm, $1500 for a really small form factor pc or a screamin fast desktop gaming rig.
this is tough...

 

[iamtheking123]

Someone should just mail them a Zbox Nano made by Zotac along with a postit note saying EPIC FAIL.

 

[johnandrews]

If you actually checked into the company, you would know they are not a media-pc, gamer-pc or hobbyist products. They are a provider of industrial and rugged PCs. Most of their Little PC line offer 12/24VDC input because they are meant to be installed in plants or mobile equipment where things like heat, air quality, and vibration are major factors.

 

[freggo]

$1500 with a Celeron CPU... seriously ?
I'd rather get a laptop and a few savings bonds for the kids.

 

[tuch92]

Overpricing aside, I don't know where you got "Palm-sized PC" from. I'm 6'3 and have huge hands, but hardback novels don't fit in my palm.

stop bragging about your huge appendages

 

[jgutz2006]

well yes its a bit over priced, but at least they've intergrated Display Port! i would love to see for this price tag, 3 Mini-DP ports and ax the DVI then toss in mini-DP to DVI/Mini-DP to VGA adapters. Yes its still expensive but justifies the price a hell of a lot more than where it stands now

 

[jaber2]

Can someone explain to me why I would need a mini tiny overpriced pc again? if its not battery operated and wi-fi enabled and don't include a screen why would I want one?

 

[didgetmaster]

Let me guess, they get most of their sales from government agencies who buy lots of stuff with taxpayer money (instead of their own). Why look at the price or worry about whether you are getting value for your dollar when someone else is picking up the tab?

 

[__-_-_-__]

is it made of gold? because if it is, it's still overpriced.
