The main reasons to go for a low power box for me are - A) Quick access to music when I get home, rather then having to wait to switch laptop on etc. B) 24hr access - For listening late night/early morning without having to have laptop on C) Use laptop less - I tend to use my iPhone for a quick browse/emails in the evening so no real reason to run laptop except for SC -- socistep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ socistep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58489 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
