Customer Review

The Xtreamer Ultra 2 I have now been 10 days and I now get a taste I want to review here.

More fundamentally impression:

The unit is easily built and there is a small PC in fact, this impression is obtained immediately immediately. It comes with OpenELEC operating system. A mini version of Linux that was built exclusively for the operation of XBMC.

Housing:
The case appears in piano lacquer finish and has a slightly cheap through the thin plastic of which it consists. Top and bottom surfaces are provided with cooling fins. The fan is mounted on the top.
The first decision to lay the Xtreamer horizontally, has proved to be miscalculation. The Xtreamer requires the free cooling fins to dissipate the heat sufficiently to. A lying Xtreamer allows the fan to work harder. Upright position here is the first choice.

Connections:
HDMI, DVI, optical audio and USB. All connections for a home video configuration are available. Unfortunately, the digital Coaxialanschluss missing.

Startup:
The internal SSD system disk that XBMC Media Center boots very fast. After switching it is ready within 10 seconds. Other standalone media player often need longer.

Operational:
The XBMC I want here now not imagine completely. In any case, the adaptation to the hardware is exemplary. The language is set to English, but can be adjusted quickly in German. More information can always see at XBMC or OpenELEC the Internet.
The Xtreamer shows his strength by the Nvidia graphics card and Intel Atom Dual Core CPU. HD movies are displayed smoothly. However, it is recommended that the automatic changeover to the frame rate of the material on. This makes sense and it is strange that the Xtreamer this does not bring as a default.
For this, the XBMC is filled with a lot of add-on repositories. However, many of them Russian and Korean origin and for the German market have only limited usefulness.

The volume:
The CPU and the GPU of the graphics card will quickly become very hot. It happens to be a full-fledged PC into a very small frame. This often works on the fan at high speed and makes itself felt. This is not problematic if you can enjoy a movie in good volume. For series or films with quiet tones he is hard to ignore. It helps the BIOS setting of the fan to 20-60% power set.

The Remote Control:
Rock solid with solid keystroke is suitable remote control for everyday use. For me, a nice "feature" is the ability to navigate through the system's BIOS using the remote control.

Conclusion:

The Xtreamer has done a media player of his work. The large internal system hard drive with 32 GB allows to operate also Windows easily. For the pure operation of XBMC but the system is slightly oversized. The 4 GB RAM is you rarely use. Here would completely enough for 2 GB.

Had Xtreamer quieter fan installed and distributed in more detail on the CPU cooling paste I came to 5 star. But if I pull this from a star,
The price is considering this is not a DVD / Blueray drive is available for a small PC that features a little pricey. The internal SSD make this shortcoming away, however, and you will be spoiled with really quick start times.
