Zotac MAG HD-NS01-U Atom 230 1GB 160GB GBLAN WiFi 4-IN-1 Card Reader VGA HDMI All-in-One Mini PC
Cons:
Some few weaknesses with light placement and intensity when watching movies in the complete dark.
Pros: Cheaper then it's desktop equivalent for same power and performance, Pleasently silent compared to my old 450 Watt Windows box it's replacing, No operating system, # Short R.O.I. (return on investment),# More then excellent C.O.O. (cost of ownership). |
This device makes ma save more the 25$ on my utility bill every month. Read my most complete review here: http://ci2.ca/zotac_mag.php for complete details.In short:I already have recommended the Zotac MAG HD-NS01-U to two person at the time of this writing. I received the device yesterday afternoon. I have loved it with all its flaws since the second I powered it on. So does my wife. For the price, I would qualify my purchase being of "fair value". It could have come bundled with a GNU Linux distribution bundled. Even if it would have required a little more manipulation while assembling the device, it would have been worth it. I would gladly have paid 5$ more to get it with Ubuntu pre-installed. Thus saving me the afternoon to wait for it's install. Companies selling lots and lots of HDD's to manufacturers such as Zotac do not charge that much more for dumping a preconfigured image on their drives.I definetly will buy one for my mother to rid her of all her "passed date and expired" AV equipments in her lounge, when finances permit. For the cost saving while I am not requiring my "monster of a desktop" like for gaming applications, I will consider buying another one to save some more money monthly in my utility bill.2 of these will end up saving me ±34$ CAD a month on my electrical bill. Did you carefully read my 1st "pros" point?Byuing a Zotac MAG HD-NS01-U is an investment towards your well being. That is my opinion.
