Wow! This is what I call a perfect media center!!! It even has a remote control to drive the Front Row software. Only thing missing is a hardware video encoder. The networking capabilities are simply fantastic. I’m not too sure about the graphics card but this is not supposed to be a gaming machine after all…
There is a less expensive ($599) version with a single core processor.
And, in parallel, Apple has also launched the iPod Hi-fi :
It’s easy to guess its purpose. It sells at $349 which seems somewhat expensive but the sound quality must be top-notch.
WOW!, it seems really coool!!!!
hope 1 day wen i have my own money i will b able 2 buy such a “super computer”
ok, i know wat u r gonna say, but at least i can dream!
