Topic: Tango Super PC: Worlds most powerful Pocketable Gameable Officeable PC

what do you think of this guys as an alternative to HTPC?

Tango provides gaming performance that is better than last generation gaming consoles. In terms of office use, you will have a smooth and snappy experience while using business applications, browsing, watching HD videos and HD movies with home theater sound quality. You can also run CAD software applications like Autocad and Solidworks.

Due to the fact that Tango uses the latest Solid state drive, the Windows Boot up time is a snappy 15 seconds in our test. You do not need to reboot the system when you move the system from one dock to the other dock. The system simply goes to sleep and wakes up so that you can start working where you left last time.

looks ok for HTPC as long as you're running Windows on it (AFAIK, Linux based drivers for AMD GPUs are still incapable of bitstreaming DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD)

it has the power for use as HTPC, but does not seem to be designed for HTPC use ... more for office productivity and gaming ... if you use it as HTPC, you would likely use multiple external HDD's which would add clutter to the setup

^ one could always do a home NAS setup instead and just stream the media files; that way you can locate your NAS out of sight and you get the added benefit of not tying-up access of your HDDs/files to a single device.

"gameable"? that would be pushing it.
