Scared to hear pricing but looks like a great device.

No optical output which is a shame but X5 boxes may be the way to go in general and with more 4k support should tempt people away from Android more.

Baytrail boxes should be cheap as chips in the next dew weeks.

Very few mfg want to put 4g ram & 64gb internal memory... look like consumers have to go for a NUC (or laptop) device instead. I have an old desktop with 4gb of ram and I find that quite limiting under win7...
Guess the market thins out as prices go above $200... IMO, they can offer these specs around $150 at retail.I hope some price cuts come by the end of the year.

If someone sees the price please post 8-)

MeegoPad has released their X5-Z8300 version already for $136. I made a thread in the Meego section but just though I'd mention it here as well.

But a quick test with WIFI on 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ looking good

More to come with further test but I do like it Snappy Heat does not seem to be a problem just need to test it more.

Nice write-up. Box looks to be substantially constructed. Must have a pretty good feel to it weight-wise.
Where do you find the time? I guess someone has to be in the unfortunate position to have to test all these new devices. Poor fellow.

BTW, Regarding the promo, no matter how sweet I typed, I got no code. Not even when I threatened to punch it in its nose....
