Before I reserve final judgement, I'll await independant benchmarks on how well this little machine performs.
Given that the integrated intel video will be allowed to use up to 80M of system memory, it will be interesting to see how that will affect OSX when it starts swapping memory. Also, seeing that the system requirements for Front Row on the intel chips are... PC OSX x86 512MB of physical memory Mac OS v.10.4.3 Tiger 1.4GHz Intel class processor 32MB video ram PC OSX x86 512MB of physical memory Mac OS v.10.4.3 Tiger 1.2GHz AMD class processor 64MB video ram ...actual performance will, again, be interesting to see.
