Viewsonic VOT132 nettop review

 

You don't need booming sales figures to tell you that netbooks have taken over the world -- the mobile computing world, at least. Their screenless and battery-free brethren, however, have yet to find quite the same success. Nettops are great tiny...

Very nice design ; Small enough to mount behind most displays ; Solid HD performance

Relatively high cost ; Poor playback with some content ; Optical support is optional

only buy if you have the time to make it work.

 

This will not stream 1080 out of the box. You must update the nvidia drivers and all the codecs. Then pay to download a program called Core Avc . It's is post on a review for another mini PC made by Asus. I tried it out of frustration because nothing...

Great Little PC

 

I run about 8 different PCs for my company. This little PC is as fast as any of them for e-mail, web-browsing. I leave it on for weeks to run my integration software because of its stability and speed. I am purchasing a second one for my Point of Sale...
