Ah yes, but can it handle full 1080p playback on the graphics side? I have been wondering if i should look for a nettop that can handle 1080p since they seem to be cheaper than mac minis. Either way, I think this is a move in the right direction. Take all of the install and compatibility hassle out of the equation for the majority of consumers and they will come.

The form factor is butt ugly. Get real Just the looks would stop my purchase. Even if it is a good product.
