Review: S1Digital P500 Media Center

 

With lossless Blu-ray and movie apps, S1Digital's P500 Media Center may even make you like (gulp!) Windows.

Don’t balk at the price; this is no ordinary Media Center ; Delivered with no PC junkware ; Logitech keypad is cool ; Thorough user’s manual ; Amazing tech support (even when they didn't know it was me) ; Amazingly cool and quiet ; Hard to find PCs...

Windows Media Center

I don’t think it's fair to list WMC as a con. All the HTPC software out there (Sage TV, Myth TV, Beyond TV and WMC) have caveats and devout fan boys (I happen to like WMC). They each bring some great features to the table and WMC is no exception. ...

The massive P500 has performance, expansion potential and even a decent set of speakers, but the dull display lets it down

Toshiba Satellite P500-1JF

 

Good software specifications.

The hard disk has appears to have a fault. The laptop, is not even a month old and more often than not, the screen goes completely black for a couple off seconds. Soon after, a message comes out on the screen letting me know the 'machine' has recovered...

Toshiba Satellite P500-1JF

 

A large 16 x 9 inch screen, great for internet browsing, videos, photos and games. Lots of options for screen layout and presentation. Excellent sound quality from two speakers. Good keyboard layout, and an energy saving feature which reduces the power...

There is a tendency for the left hand to touch the extra video and sound controls adjacent to the keyboard, but it's easily avoided when you get used to the machine. Because of it's size and weight, it's probably not the best computer for carrying...
