Mini Duo MP965-D Multi Bb Socket P Max 4GB DDR2 4-USB

With a supermini size the Mini PC Duo creates extraordinary desktop space for you to extend unlimited creativity. Using AOpen MiniPC saves you over 40% of space compared to a traditional desktop PC. The saved space can be even larger when fitted with an LCD monitor. The ergonomic effects brought to you by the MiniPC will effectively boost your work efficiency and help maintain a pleasant mood.Made entirely of aluminum alloy, AOpen MiniPC fully reflects the avantgarde design. The teams of professional industrial designers at AOpen achieved the multipurpose goals of lowering the weight, strengthening the product, and accelerating heat dissipation while retaining the simple no-frills look.The AOpen MiniPC Duo is designed for high mobility. The product fully meets the demands of computer users, who mostly need to carry the computer in a briefcase or handbag from one place to another to continue their work rather than using PCs in the transit process.AOpen designs its MiniPC for point-to-point mobility and leaves out monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It further omits the weighty battery so that the MiniPC is lighter than even the lightest notebook PCs available on the market. Despite its light weight, the computer's functions are not compromised at all. Such brand new "portable desktop PC" concept more conforms to consumers' needs.The AOpen MiniPC brings forth a new era for desktop PCs with unrivaled silence, power conservation, and excellent performance by adopting Intel processors with mobility technology coupled with a So-DIMM memory slot and Mini-PCI interface. The AOpen MiniPC can easily satisfy the majority of users who mainly work with office applications, enabling them to easily handle office work, entertainment, Internet surfing, CD/DVD burning, etc.

Customer Reviews

Ideal set top box
I bought this device with one purpose in mind - a Linux based media client. To that end, it has a T8100 CPU, 2GB of memory and a 7500rpm 100GB disk plugged in, plus external blue tooth and IR receivers ( Looking back, I should have just opted for the top end machine but I had the external things anyway). Maybe a little overpowered but hey, this is reasonably future proofed.

So, with Mythbuntu installed, plus a VirtualBox XP VM (for Netflix streaming), the system performs well. Video and audio are good and when running, the box is rock solid. This was an addition to an existing MythTV network so this is purely a client.

Pros: Excellent machine with enough power for my purposes. Quiet, well built, easy to assemble.

Cons: Under linux, there are a few suspend/resume issues for the display drivers but I'm working through those. Nothing else really - wakeOnLan would be nice..

Excelente
Es exactamente el tipo de equipo que buscaba. Space saving and low power consume. Be advice that you will need the processor, the HD and the memory. But it is a great piece of hardware when you need something to "hide" a "always on" machine... nice tool from the Aopen people...

BTW: Sorry for my "spanglis"
