Intel's Next Unit of Computing

[ellroy80]

I know there are smaller systems out there, but this one would certainly pack a punch!!

It will still depend on the specs... intel keeps tight lipped about what kind of core i3 and igp

Is it just me, or does packing that much circuitry, onto that small of a form factor, that efficiently, turn you on?

it does nothing of the sort for me.

I wonder why they don't shrink GPUs to a smaller factor, I mean it's doable with motherboards/CPUs, why don't Nvidia/AMD invest more. Even half height graphics cards are still too big for me.

APUs/integrated graphics are certainly a first step, but I'm sure they could do better.

Apologies for getting a bit off topic.

I know that feel, bro. Just hope the specs are a good bang for the buck.

You mean something like MXM?

I'd love to have something like that to replace my Acer Revo 1600 XBMClive box.
