OMG, I want one of those; I'd use it as a portable media center (movies, music, photos) and I'd play games on that! I've seen micro-pcs before but this one looks really solid.

In my humble opinion, I think it's more like a "cool" gadget for the rich people... and I would personally spend my money on something solid and lasting like a powerful gaming rig. But that's me, right. :P I don't even have a mobile! Well, I do, but I don't want to buy a SIM card...

Anyway, it LOOKS pretty cool, and if someone would give it to me, hell yes that would be awesome! But spending money on it myself, nope.

I am pretty sure you could build a MINI pc for the same price as a micro and get way more out of it. So I agree. It's a rich persons toy. Now if they made one that you could play serious games on and they had a optical piece that went in front of your eye(s). That would be cool. Thats pretty far away down the road though! lol

Edit:
Hell you could build just about ANYTHING other than a micro and get way more out of it! I would build a conroe gaming rig. Oh wait.. I am :P and for 460 dollars cheaper!

I got to have a play around with one of those at the University of Tehcnlogy Sydney open day all the major companies where there. Its a pretty cool device to use.

So what do you think? Is it worth paying for? Or is it like the PC AirConditioner, where the only truly valuable thing is the idea of it.

It was pretty sweet just like a normal computer windows and everthing. The keyboard was much to fidly for my liking. I want to see if it can run any games.

It also comes with a great docking cradle which has extra USB plugs and VGA out. So you could use it on the move. Then come home or to the office and pop it into the cradle and use a normal monitor keyboard and mouse. These things are the future.

I would love one but it costs the earth $1,759.99 US. I could buy or build and uber gaming PC for that much.

For the coolness factor and the great usabilty its worth it.
But the price holds it back.

If you can afford it buy it.
