Hi Paul, fantastic little things aren’t they? I managed to get mine all hooked up the the TV now so I don’t need any more space for a separate PC any more. The space saving’s brilliant!

In answer to your queries I’d say you may be stuck changing the resolution for now. There could be some magic that can be performed with hardware profiles or something but I’m not quite sure.
I always found putting the bottom point into the stand helps line up the catches at the top. I missed it first time round and had the devil’s own job fitting it!!

I’ve registered for the free Windows 7 upgrade, can’t wait.

Just got myself one of these too.

I’m a web developer and it runs dreamweaver, wampp, a couple of browsers and fireworks all at the same time without any worries. Got a free upgrade to Windows 7 when it is released too which is great.

I’ve got a couple of issues though, don’t know if you can help. I can get it attached to the stand on the back of the monitor, I don’t know if my fingers are too big and they keep getting in the way> Any tips?

Also, when changing from LCD monitor to HD (another great thing about this little machine, the HD out) I have to go through the properties on the desktop to change over. Do you know of a quicker way to do this? If you haven’t hooked this up to your TV yet I would recommend it, running BBC iPlayer through it is great.

Thanks for your comment Lee, I get so few on this site I nearly fell off my chair when I saw it!

I have to agree that for gamers, this is never going to be the weapon of choice. I do however think we should all wait and see what the final release of Windows 7 does on this. If all goes to plan, this should be very impressive given the form factor and the price.

I`ve just got one of these little beauties myself. I went for the £150 model and installed Windows 7 rc on it for the mo. It can be a little sluggish if you try to do too much at once I`m hoping the extra gig of memory that I`m going to install will help out there.
It plays hi-def content superbly.

I haven`t played any games yet, but thats what my main pc is for.
It`s ideal for internet on my 37 incher though!!
