Shuttle XPC P2 3500G review
Verdict
Amazing power in a perfectly-formed, petite package - the only stumbling block is a slightly high price.
Review Date: 23 Apr 2008
Reviewed By: Matthew Sparkes
Price when reviewed: (£1,140 inc VAT)
Overall Rating
The only problem is the price. For a similar amount of money, it's possible to buy an equally powerful machine that comes with a monitor, mouse and keyboard, all of which the Shuttle lacks. Our A-Listed Mesh Elite Pulse HD, for example, comes with a 21in TFT monitor and represents great value.
However, it can't compete with the Shuttle's small size and doesn't fit as well in a living-room environment. If you want to watch digital media and play the latest games from your sofa, but don't want to opt for a console or a gaudy full-tower behemoth, this is the machine to buy.
