Reviews of the Shuttle KPC K-4800
-
CNET Review
The Good: Optical drive; faster audio transcoding performance than comparable Windows PC.
The Bad: Cheap Windows desktops offer better hardware for the price; case could offer more expandability.
The Bottom Line: We liked Shuttle's original low-cost Linux desktop, but even though the KPC K-4800 adds a DVD drive and a few other upgrades, the price increase takes a toll on its overall value. Regardless of their operating system, too many Windows PCs give you more hardware for the money.
