This is a remarkable computer for the home user… First Mac - Now I know why Mac users are so loyal Five Reasons to Buy This Computer
Reviewer Comments:
‘I have had this computer for a week now and absolutely love it. The Magic Mouse took a little time to adjust to, but now it is a favorite. The iMac screen is large (I upgraded from the 17″ early 2006 intel iMac), but not so big as to be distracting. Apple, of course, made the experience of setting it up and getting online a breeze, even to the point of having the batteries already installed in…(Read More)
I have been buying PCs for over 15 years and this is my first Mac. I had been considering a Mac over more recent years and decided to take the plunge after hearing other rave reviews of existing users and seeing how superior an IPOD is over a standard MP3 player. I can say that I was not disappointed.
First, there’s no learning curve at all, and you can easily make the transition from PC to…(Read More)

FAST: this computer screams, doing about anything you need it to without annoying pauses.
STYLE: yes, it does look like a fashion statement. And lest you say, “I just care about how it performs”– you probably have …(Read More)

Outstanding specs at a low budget cost!
Reviewer Comments:
‘I purchased this computer to act as my second webserver. I’ve got a Verizon FiOS business account with 35Mbps down/35Mbps up and 13 static IPs. I was going to build a computer myself, and the cost for similar specs to this one came to $650. That’s over $100 MORE than what I paid.

Reviewer Comments:
‘Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
For a HTPC this is great. Small almost silent and powerful enougth for XBMC, Boxee, and Hulu Desktop with newer Flash 10.1 all while running Windows 7.
The only issues I have is that it doesn’t come with an OS and then It must be installed with a usb device. Not a huge problem for me but for others perhaps.
Also while it does have a fan and…(Read More)

Awesome HTPC
Reviewer Comments:
‘Now that I’ve had the EB1501 integrated into my home theater for a few weeks, I thought I would update my review of it.
I have this connected via HDMI to receiver, surround sound and a 52″ HDTV. Due to the limitations of my setup (not the EB1501), I do not use HDMI for sound, so I will not say anything about the box’s ability to carry both signals properly. If you use S/PDIF for audio, you ar…(Read More)

‘I’ve been running the NAS for a week now and have been very pleased with the features and performance.
It only took about 1/2 hour from the time I opened the box to having it up and running on the network. Very simple. Install a drive, plug it in, turn it on and install the software from your desktop computer. Then start configuring what you want to use. The interface is easy to navigate…(Read More)
This item is well packaged, and is great for adding centralized storage to your home network. This item ships without any firmware installed, and at first is a bit confusing on getting setup. The instructions imply that you can do the initial setup by connecting to the devices home page. You will have to do the initial setup using the Assistant, and install the firmware. After doing this st…(Read More)

Great product once you learn how to manage it, which could take a little time. I’m still learning all its capabilities but the tech support has been very good. Some difficulties once I upgraded to windows 7. The product wouldn’t go into hibrinantion, but I believe it will be resolved with some setting changes in windows.
I’m quite satisfied with i…(Read More)
