Reviews of the Shuttle M2000
-
CNET Review
The Good: Sleek design; copious A/V connectivity; removable drive bay.
The Bad: Not enough RAM; idling performance; smallish hard drive; lack of expansion options.
The Bottom Line: The Shuttle M2000 is a great-looking living-room system that handles media tasks easily, but its stripped-down specs keep it from doing double duty as your main PC.
