Like a homosexual clergyman, the X100 is confused. Unfortunately, it seems not to know what it was created for. At first glance it looks like a neat media centre; like something you wouldnt mind sitting next to the hi-def TV in your lounge.The problem...
Physical design; slot-loading DVD drive; quiet operation
No legacy ports; limited gaming capability and upgradeability

Compact size; attractive small-form-factor chassis; 2GB of memory; roomy hard drive.
Lacks default TV tuner and Wi-Fi; giant power brick is a hassle; not a lot of bang for the buck compared to other current PCs.
