    Default Sapphire Edge-HD2 Mini PC

    The Sapphire Edge-HD2 gets an upgrade from its predecessor in the form of a slightly quicker CPU, a larger hard drive, and Windows 7 pre-installed, so there are some distinct advantages of going with a system setup like this.

    Glad to see they made some improvements, adding the OS specifically makes a pretty big difference. Nice little unit, good review Jake.

    In PCMark Vantage, that little E350 beats this Atom at Gaming, TV and movies and Music..... IMO This little box is kinda LATE IN THE MARKET. At $400, I don't think it is a great value seeing OEM Llano systems won't be much more $ with a even bigger jump in performance.

    Ya Jim, that's the one big downside I noted in the review, that it's the last of its generation, so to speak. E350 and Llano might be the giant killer coming soon for mobile computing.
