 Measuring just 12.5″ deep and 13.5″ wide, it's little bigger than an Xbox 360 but massively more powerful. As comfortable next to a flatscreen TV as a monitor, it'll sit either horizontally or stand vertically. It's connectivity options include HDMI 1.4, 4x USB 2.0 slots, 2x USB 3.0, Ethernet and speaker connectors. The differing specification configurations available are as follows: Processor Intel® Core™ i3-2120 (3.30GHz, 3MB L3 Cache, 2C) Intel® Core™ i5-2320 (3.00GHz, 6MB L3 Cache, 4C) Intel® Core™ i7-2600 (3.40GHz, 8MB L3 Cache, 8C) Graphics 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 545 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 555 Memory 4096MB (2x2GB) 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel 6144MB (1x4GB) (1x2GB) 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel 8192MB (2x4GB) 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Hard Drive 1TB (32MB Cache) 7,200RPM Hard Drive Optical 24X Dual-Layer Burner (DVD±RW) (Standard) Audio Internal High-Definition 7.1 Performance Audio with Waves MAXX Audio Software Wireless Integrated 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi Wireless LAN When you keep in mind that all components are of standard size, meaning they'll be easily upgradeable in the future, the X51 seems like a superb addition to the gamer's living room. It's a pity it doesn't come with a Blu-ray drive; the one thing stopping the mini-desktop from being a true living room media hub. With prices starting at £699, it's also a very affordable entry into pre-built PC gaming. It launches on February 6th. |
