I have one. Doesn't really something like a kid would want.

I run XBMC on it, streams 1080p video over the network flawlessly.

seems pretty cool, i like the idea.  Considering Its actually more portable than my laptop i might actually peruse it.  thanks PG

except the monitor, keyboard and mouse you need to carry around with you.

Ill just stick to the vinyl thread next time.

This thing is pretty bitchin' too...a little more money ($192), but it's got some worthy specs for the price.....
