After proper opening (tear) of the package, radiates a the brushed aluminum look of VIVO already received and leaves a really high quality and solid impression. The device is pleasant with its 190mm x 190mm x 55mm small and fits well next to my receiver, since it does not take away a lot of space.
Fix connected via HDMI to the telly, Linux partly filled and the first boat is afloat thanks to the following hardware anymore:
- Intel Core i3 dual-core with 1.8GHz
- 4GB DDR3 RAM
- 1TB HDD
About WLAN ac 5GHz of VIVO PC depends on the network and offers correspondingly high data rates. The cooperation with the new router via which the media are obtained from the NAS, works perfectly and fast. The XBMC makes his rest to make the PC a perfect VIVO Media Player.
The HTPC operates quietly and blends inconspicuously into the overall picture. He is barely audible because very quiet fans were processed. Sound and audio content are routed through SPDIF on my system, which has also run at all. The VIVO PC also has built-in speakers. For those who are interested: I have my sound system staked times and uses the built-in speakers, the sound is really great for those little things! Of course, not 5.1 system that is very clear! But the fact that speakers are on board, the device only provides more useful and versatile einsatzbar.
What we already talking about the next and final point would be:
Alternatively, for use as a media player, I would imagine the VIVO PC as a desktop replacement. Of course, you do not have high-end gaming PC are going on, but this target group wants ASUS never operate it with this device. With the VIVO-PC gives a solid, visually appealing, brisk PC system in mini format. For normal everyday or office work, the computing power is quite sufficient and is with its 65 watts a power-saving challenge to each oversized gaming PC which is still used for office work.
As the purchase of the router, I do not regret the Euros for the VIVO PC and now enjoy my multimedia entertainment to the fullest!
