Serial and PS2 ports? Who uses those anymore? Give me more USB, eSATA, USB3.0 or an extra DVI port. Or get rid of those DVI ports and make them HDMI to more easily hook up to TVs. Although I guess that would drive the price up with the HDMI royalty fees. Still, as much as I despise Apple, the Mac Mini is probably a better choice than this guy. Similar specs, more USB ports, Wi-Fi and a much lower price tag put the Mac Mini on top. I still like this though.

What will be the price and will it be available in India and when.

It\'s smaller than a Mac Mini, but has fewer features (like no wireless, fewer ports, fewer software options, etc.), so the next question becomes one of power consumption.

$995 just because it\'s small? No thanks.

Hmmmm a) Small = excellent. b) Very expensive. c) Under spec\'ed in connections - both up to date stuff and amount. USB 3 is out, Esata ports are now being challenged. and aside from USB2, all this has is a com port and a serial port? Sorry, I\'d much rather have a big shitty beige box with all the specs for like $300.

Yes Serial and PS2 Ports These computers are ment to be used on the plant floor and there are still a lot of devies that need serial communcaiton. A USB to seral converter does not cut it. I have seen to many of them fail and also the comm port number changes if unpulugs and pluged back in. You take the call at 2:00 AM from Joe maintenace guy that needs to change comm port settings - me I will take a real serial port every time. Try to find space for a white box on a machine. You will pay $200-300 alone for the enclosure and then more if you want to ventilate it. This computer can mount just about anyhwere , and no fans or Hard disk (if solid state is used) to fail. Add a $1000 touch screen and you have a pretty sweet and tough HMI.

These are designed for use in autos or other places where you don\'t have a lot of room. The inclusion of the serial and ps/2 ports are most likely to interface with controllers and sensors, many of which have serial interfaces.

Only a clueless person woul buy that. I purchased my 2.26Ghz MacMini with 4GB DDR3, 320GB HD 9400m Nvidia graphic chip and 802.11n wi-fi back in March 2009 for about half the price of this. I also run Windows 7 on it. I run two monitors using the mini displayport and mini DVI port. This thing is a joke.
