Pros: * This has been a great budget purchase that rivals the speed of most cpus for basic tasks. * It's a great HTPC processor * It plays HD video perfectly without stutter or delays. * The built in graphics can even chug away at some of the middle aged video games that are out there - need for speed: carbon and Dead Space for instance.

Cons: None that I've found.

Pros: * If you're trying to get a router and you just want internet & wifi then of course this will work for you, and the price point makes this more than acceptable. * slim design * can boot DD-WRT mega, thanks to large flash memory * multiple features to manipulate [caveat below] * fast internet with wifi [caveat below]

Cons: * I originally put DD-WRT on this, and that was a great step to opening up some hidden features. - using those features is another story. An openvpn connection to witopia [a VPN service] BARELY worked. - The system crawled; my 2MB/s connection dropped to 500KB/s which was unacceptable. This machine has an overclocked CPU that should handle encrypt & decrypt, and this just can't seem to hack it. - with more than 2 features enabled LAN and WLAN speeds crawled. - Bottom line: it couldn't handle being a DCHP router, a WIFI router with a VPN connection simultaneously without acting like a geriatric trying to qwop. * I was disappointed with its basic router behavior. Wifi makes it run hot and slow compared to speeds I'm used to. - everything in my house is WIFI [approx 4-5 devices concurrently, but up to 10] and this machine got cranky with this many laptops and iphones etc. - WLAN speeds were slow and a 1080p connection to the net wasn

Overall Review: I ended up buying a $40 used P4 on e.bay, with an extra $10 NIC card. I installed the free "pfsense" FreeBSD system on the computer. It felt magical. VPN, routing, firewall. BLAM: it just worked. and speeds feel FASTER than my Airport Extreme. I attached the linksys and use it solely for wifi; WLAN speeds are back to normal now. * As a basic wifi router, it may get too warm, keeping it raised or upside down should be enough to solve that problem.

Pros: excellent trackpad 2 left mouse buttons (one on either end of the keyboard) perfect length light good key resistance tiny receiver This is an excellent HTPC keyboard. It fits nicely on the lap, and is light enough to use as "a remote." The trackpad has its own left and right mouse buttons, but there's a second left mouse button on the far left hand end of the keyboard. This allows you to hold the keyboard with both hands and use your right thumb on the pad and your left thumb to click. I use this on an HTPC in my living room. Strangers and friends learned how to use it within 10 seconds.

Cons: This isn't really a con, but the keyboard needs separate page down and page up keys right near the trackpad. It's not comfortable holding down the Fn key to do that. The shift and ctrl key placement is a little odd.

Overall Review: after several months of hard use (tossing the keyboard on the couch, dropping it, dropping it again, the dog sitting on it) the reception can occasionally fade from the computer. Experience: I've tried 5 different HTPC controller keyboards - two tiny ones and three different wireless keyboards. Of the 5 this is the best.

Pros: Installed as my OS drive and HTPC storage in lieu of two separate drives. Its worked perfectly after hundreds of major writes and wipes.

Cons: none so far!

Pros: I installed this in my gaming rig and another in my HTPC in another part of the house. Networking everything together through wifi has been incredibly convenient.

Cons: * This device requires a driver install. There seems to be no way around it. This is only important during a full reinstall of the OS. Nevertheless, it happened to me and it was a pain to go around trying to find the discs.

Pros: works

Cons: none
