PC Plus: "The perfect lounge lizard"
 The UK’s popular computer magazine PC Plus loves "the appearance of Shuttle’s latest mini media centre" which is a "fully functional PC stuffed to the grills with performance mobile components." Its "mouse-like decibel level" and "pleasingly stylish aesthetics" indicate what it was designed for: media centre. Its name: Shuttle XPC mini X 200.
"What you need is a quiet, good-looking little machine to cater for all your media centre needs," give the editors of the British computer magazine PC Plus to anyone who is tired of having a bulky PC sitting next to the TV. The Shuttle XPC mini X 200 is here to make a difference: the "dinky machine" which is barely 5cm tall with a surface comparable to an A4 sheet of paper is also "incredibly quiet," according to PC Plus. An important factor, as "all good media centre PCs should be."
The Shuttle XPC mini X 200 which is built around Intel Core 2 Duo with Intel 945GM chipset is equipped with hybrid TV tuner and can be accessed from your armchair thanks to the "infrared receiver on the front panel" and the included remote control.
Being fully Vista compatible, the X 200 boasts 2GB of RAM which cope with "memory-hungry" applications. Besides, the "slinky media centre" uses a "standard desktop SATA hard drive" which can directly accessed by "unscrewing the under panel." Five USB 2.0 connectors and wireless networking is "another bonus," write the editors. Like every complete Shuttle XPC built by Shuttle, this X 200 comes with two years of collect and return warranty service. |
