Pros: CPU powerful enough for everyday home computing needs, as Atom was not good enough for me. Low power consumption. Good graphics.

Cons: CPU cooling fan is not very noisy but still annoying.

Overall Review: I read many good reviews about AMD the Zacate CPU so ordered one by Asrock. Unfortunately, it arrived defective. I RMAed it for replacement. However, it was out of stock at NewEgg and I got a refund. Then I noticed this board from MSI is available and I ordered one. It arrived quickly. Installation went smoothly. Everything works fine without any problem. I feel it has enough power for my everyday computing needs (mainly email, web surfing, word processing and watch DVD's). I can feel that it is more powerful than Intel dual core Atoms (D330, D525). It's power consumption is also very good, with an 80W Pico PSU with external brick DC adapter, at idle or doing light web surfing (like I am doing right now) uses only 11-12 W power. The only annoying thing is it has a very small fan. As a result, the noise generated has a higher pitch to be more noticeable. It would be ideal if it has a passive cooling system or I can find one and replace the current active cooling.

Pros: As others state, this product truly delivers the Zacate platform. The linux performance is weaker than expected, but I planned to use Windows anyways for media playback reasons. The fan, however, is fine. Go into the bios, set it to allow the fan to spin lower. At 100%, then fan is over 5k rpm, so of course it is loud. By the time it gets to 75%, which it should never go over unless you have the case in direct sunlight, it is under 4k rpm, and it is virtually silent. Replace the fan if you want, but I'd rather have a fan with the capability of going really fast and being noisy if needed, and quiet during normal operation. Note: I usually replace the fans and heatsinks in my systems, and I feel this does not need improvement. So basically, anyone complaining is too lazy to go into the bios to set the minimum fan speed and the target temp.

Cons: A nice case for this is more expensive than it. Might make you want to build something custom.

Overall Review: I wish ati/amd released open source drivers.

Pros: Small form factor, all solid capacitors, HDMI , protected audio passthrough Bluray. This is a great little board that will tide over well till 28nm hits. Stream video , audio online. Works great with accelerated Flash content, Silverlight is another story, streams low quality not HD content on Netflix, however I feel it is a lack of Microsofts execution of Silverlight as the cpu is only moderately used and does have sufficient headroom. Silverlight is due for gpu acceleration like Flash soon so problem will be solved. Other than that Zacate suits my needs perfectly.

Cons: There really is no con for what this thing can do at the rate is nibbles on power. Sure it doesn't have usb3 but really its meant to be a low power sreamlined PC Sata 6Gbps and usb3 is overkill at the present time for Zacate really. Noise level is high on the fan until you set up a profile in the bios to manage the fan after that you don't hear it until things start heating up by playing HD or using cpu at max for a while but still low compared to how its setup to ship.

Overall Review: Plays back everything perfectly. Divx, Xvid, WMV, MP4 with cpu. HI-res playback requires the use of the integrated 6310gpu. Need to hardware accelerate MKV, .264, MP4 Hi res, Bluray, anything HD will need acceleration on the gpu, not a con as thats why the 6310 is there, download K-lite codec mega pack ,includes Media player classic with option to accelerate .264 and Divx/Xvid Build was good components used are as follows MSI Zacate mobo E350IS-E45, Gskill eco ddr3 1600 at 1333 7-7-7-22 1T 1.35v, WD Caviar green 1.5Tb, LG Bluray player DVD burner combo drive, Rosewill RC-CIX-01 BK case, wifi dongle and its working perfectly for the living room with Lenovo Wireless Keyboard N5901. I replaced an Athlon II 240 880g setup and couldn't be happier.

Pros: Excellent product. To understand the pros, you need to learn about the Zacate platform. This board delivers them all and leaves nothing to be desired for my HTPC.

Cons: The CPU fan is a little noisy. If you're an avid SPCR reader, you'll probably want to swap it out for something else. Beware of flashing your BIOS with the M-Flash function within the BIOS. I attempted to update to latest BIOS 15 and it bricked the board. I have many years of experience building computers and this is the first time I've ever had such a problem. After reading up in forums, apparently M-Flash is not reliable -- others have reported the exact same issue.

Pros: This board is the core of my new Win7-based HTPC. I added a dual tuner card, 4GB of memory, a case and a couple of hard drives, and it has turned into a great little media center computer. Windows 7 install on this went much smoother than past installs. The only device that didn't have a drive installed automatically was the onboard NIC (which I'm not going to use, anyway). Board can push out HDTV recordings with no problem, and is able to record one stream while playing back another (haven't tried recording two streams while playing back a 3rd yet).

Cons: The fan was a bit noisier than I expected, but it is still a vast improvement over my previous HTPC build.

Overall Review: I think the only thing this board is missing is onboard bluetooth & wifi. Thusfar I've only seen one such miniITX Fusion board out there, and it was a bit out of my price range. Fortunately I already owned a WiFi USB dongle, and didn't mind using that instead. From what I see, this AMD Fusion architecture is just what you need for a low-power, low-cost but well-featured PC

Pros: Excellent little board, all you need is RAM and a Hard drive to have a pretty decent computer. I used this for my Win 7 Media Center and so far it runs as expected

Cons: Since it is newer, not everything has been tweaked for best performance, I did notice when playing some 1080P HD movies with Dolby Surround that if you skip forward or pause the video, it does take it a few seconds for the audio to catch up with the video. I'm sure it will be addressed in an update down the road

Overall Review: There is nothing else out there that can beat it for the price! I already had a Hard Drive, so I bought 2 1GB sticks for a total of $165 with shipping. Where else can you buy a complete dual core, low power computer with HDMI out?

Pros: Fast, solid right out of the box, easy to install. Looks and feels like a quality board. Loaded OS with flash drive, so no need for DVD ROM. 4 SATA headers, HDMI, Toslink and gigabit ethernet.

Cons: No case speaker header. Fan is a little loud but can be silenced with a tweak in the BIOS.

Overall Review: Popped this little mobo in a APEX MJ-16 case and it booted right up. I used 4 GB of G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 RAM. Installed OS with flash drive by telling the BIOS to boot the USB first. Windows Home Server had all the drivers except the LAN, so I had to install that from flash drive. I also installed the video card driver downloaded from MSI website. I haven't put ATI's CCC on there since it's just a server and will be running the unit headless. I already had the hard drives, so I was able to build a small home server for about $150. Can't beat that!

Pros: The E-350 APU, Very nice little APU. Runnning Win7 64 Pro with 4 gig 1333 and 3.5" 500 GB WD Black Label Drive which is working fantastic for a "HD DVR" HTPC with a Dual Tuner. The E-350 handles all media with no issues except one format (See Cons) H264 at 1080 with subs play flawlessly at around 35-40% usage with DXVA configured in MPC. Media Center records 2 programs at once from a cheap usb tuner at 15% usage and can watch and record with around 60% usage. Youtube plays smooth at 1080 with no studdering or droped frames as does Netflix and any other online streaming site. coretemp is logging my system at around 41C Idle and 62C Full. Not bad as it is in a large Cabinet with bad ventilation and a 800 Watt Receiver. TDP is 95C and feel fine running it into the 70's with out a worry in the summer.

Cons: The Fan is very loud and detracts from a HTPC or any environment. (Adjustable in Bios which does help if you want to play with higher temps) Will not play 10 Bit H264 MKVs in either 1080 or 720 smoothly. This is a very new format which is not DXVA compatible so needs raw processor power which the 350 can't handle.

Overall Review: Solid Mini Itx board with an excellent set of outputs that allow perfect hookup to a Home Theater System just as I want that will play bacl nearly all your media with ease.
