Interesting concept. From the very last picture, it seems like maybe there are two units which are included in this system: the main vertical-standing speaker/computer, and a horizontal-standing secondary speaker.
I was going to ask if anyone knew for sure but upon closer inspection, the last picture is a closeup of the bottom portion of the unit. I guess I should drink my coffee BEFORE wooting.
These are fairly nice as a small PC connected to the TV, or anywhere a small form factor would be desired. Nice performance from the i3 models I purchased from here previously. I upgraded the RAM to 16GB and bought an SSD but haven’t installed it yet.Given the form factor, they are a bit of a bear to tear down and get to the naughty bits. The sound is very good. The included wireless keyboard and mouse work well, although I bought a more compact Logitech model with a built-in touchpad.
These are great as a gateway to your home network, or as a streaming media server for an older, no-longer-being-updated Smart TV.
I view the premium of $130 for this i5 model a bit steep. If it were closer to $349 out the door, I’d buy another one.
