This tiny PC is undoubtedly a very impressive feat of engineering, and for a few who appreciate the sheer impossibility of its design - or the fewer who can dream up a practical application for it - it may be worth splashing out on. But those heat levels are a worry and the relatively high price seals its fate. If you're considering a nettop, you'd be better served by the Acer Aspire Revo: it costs £100 less, offers better gaming and video playback performance, and in a chassis that's still small enough to be stashed away or mounted behind a monitor or TV.
