Altech Maestro Pro 2 Reviews

Early adopters will love the Pro 2's excellent media centre features, but the current dearth of Blu-ray content will deter many.

Decent optical mouse, Good speakerphone mode

Have to download drivers, Sometimes won't switch modes, Only works with Skype, Handheld mode looks quite ridiculous, Local pricing is a bit costly

The Yappermouse delivers on its promise of being a mouse that talks, although it'll only talk to the Skype network. It's not without its flaws, and we'd like to see a slightly lower local pricing model, but if you need a speakerphone for travelling ...

Fast boot up, Quiet operation, reasonable performance, Tuner cards work well.

Front LCD panel pointless, overpriced

If you have a bundle of cash and are looking for a good looking device to add to your home theatre or a PC that can handle most media related tasks, then the Maestro is for you. If you are looking for a gaming PC, you may want to look elsewhere.

It was a very close race this month, but once all the points had been totted up it was the successor to the A-Listed Maestro that deservedly took the laurels.
