When the dust settles and we have a final look at Sapphires Edge-HD mini PC I would have to say I am fairly impressed with the overall quality of this little box. It handles most video with the exception being Silverlight like a champ which makes it a...

Sapphire see the box and kick it to the curb as they think way outside it with their latest endeavour - the EDGE-HD.

Sapphire Edge-HD Mini PC

Extremely tiny PC designed for solid home use.

As multimedia technologies and uses become more prolific and part of our daily lives, consumers are looking for products that fill more than one role. Historically, small motherboards with integrated chips and graphics have typically been, well,...

Sapphire Edge-HD Mini PC Review

We see a lot of products here at Hardware Heaven and although the items we cover are usually interesting and often impressive in one way or another they rarely offer a true surprise. Sometimes that is because of leaked information which lets us know...

Sapphire Edge HD Mini PC (nettop)

One of the smallest PCs we've ever seen makes for an ideal media centre.

Ultra compact size, Stylish Design, Full HD video playback

Intel Atom dual core CPU still slow, Price doesn't include Windows, ION netbook arguably makes more sense

Sapphire - EDGE-HD

At first sight, the EDGE-HD from Sapphire looks more like a miniature media-streaming device. Small, slim and coated in a black, rubberised casing, it's hard to believe this is in fact a fully-functional PC. Given its ...

If you're looking for an ultra-small PC, Sapphire's EDGE-HD will undoubtedly appeal. Its simple-yet-attractive design impresses, and the inclusion of an HDMI output makes it perfect for use as a home theatre PC. However, you're clearly paying a premium...

Sapphire Edge HD

Review Looking more like a router than a PC, Sapphire's Edge-HD makes the recently-reviewed Zino HD 410 from Dell look positively huge. Sapphire rather hesitantly states that it “believes” the Edge-HD to be the smallest PC in the world. Whether or not...

Super small and quiet, there’s plenty to like about Sapphire’s miniature Edge-HD, but I think it’s over priced. The entry-level Dell Zino HD 410 [2], for example, is just £50 more expensive and comes with a faster AMD II X2 V160 processor, built-in...
