This rig is compact and

This rig is compact and performs well given its highly attractive price point. However, if your looking at this as a dedicated media device (thank you for putting this up right after Intel's WiDi <==junk) it does lack in the graphics area. If this is being hooked up to anything over 32" the memory is simply too skimpy. The HDMI out standard is nice as well as the processor, if you can muster the cash for a graphics upgrade you'll be much more pleased. You can get any number of 256 or even 512MB cards for under $100 (pricewatch). That done, hook it back up and enjoy!
