LITTLEWHITEDOG has put up a review on the new gBOX from AMS Electronics.
The gBOX is an aluminum barebones mini-pc (9.5” x 8.3” x 12”) built around the P4M266 chipset featuring integrated video, sound, USB 2.0 and an ATA133 controller. For testing purposes, a 2Ghz P4 Northwood processor was used along with an eVGA GeForce 4 Ti4600 card and an Audigy board.
One of the first questions everyone who saw the gBOX asked me was Why would I want one of these? Why not just buy a laptop or a normal PC? This review will attempt to provide a definitive answer to that question. Granted, the AMS Electronics gBOX is very cool looking and quite small, but a product like this cannot survive on size and looks alone. If all it has to offer is its size and appearance, the power-hungry performance demanding market will eventually dismiss this item as nothing more than an expensive toy.
