Just got it today to replace the HTPC I built for my parents (which cost $800 and 3 months of my computer illiterate time, and they never properly figured out).
I find that when you install a hard drive in this unit it gets very hot like an enclosure, I'm thinking they should of put a few small fans. Otherwise no complaints, love the unit and features.

Overall, this is a pretty good unit, nice and small, handles most media, and can access many websites right out of the box. Overall I am quite happy with the device. An HTPC would have a little more functionality, but at the expense of size, so I prefer this myself.

I would have given this product 4.5/5, but that's not possible and 5/5 doesn't accurately reflect how I feel about this product. This is a great unit that does everything I need it to do. It's better for the family, because it's a more 'dumbed' down unit for my family who would be confused with a HTPC (illiterate PC users). It's also fairly cheap for what it offers.
