Seriously though, why would someone buy this over a $600 mac mini?

...and not that it really matters, but It's fugly!]]>May 26th 2007 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/May 26th 2007 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/May 26th 2007 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/
Does it come with free disembodied hand?

Lol, includes - Cousin IT from the Adams Family. I thought I was buying the hand, cause the computer isn't that flash on its own. a disembodied hand that does tasks for you, now that's something special.

Not to argue, but I wouldn't say the mac mini is huge in comparison. In fact, the LPC is larger in volume.

84.5 cub.in vs. 93.1 cub. in

I can see applications though were the LPC would work better...]]>May 26th 2007 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/May 26th 2007 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/May 26th 2007 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/May 26th 2007 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/
Ha. Nice to see that Cousin IT is still working after all these years. Maybe he's trying to revive his career--starting with endorsements...

And no, a MacMini is not "huge" compared to it...
MacMini: 2"x6.5"x6.5" (84.5 cubic inches)
Stealth Mini PC: 1.65"x5.7"x9.9" (93.1 cubic inches)]]>May 26th 2007 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/May 26th 2007 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/
1) non-compatible with what??

2) even if you can give me a good answer to #1, you could always just install windows/linux/whatever-you-want on the mini. In fact you could install all three if you wanted to.

And just as another side note, I think 9.5 inches is too freakin deep for a car installation (in the dash at least). The thicker but shallower mini would fit much better, although the LPCs front ports are much more handy in that application.

Sorry to argue, but I think the LPC is pretty uninspiring -- ESPECIALLY for that much money. If it was half that price, I might have more respect. The only thing the mini doesn't have in comparison is the parallel port. Oooooooooh, 25 year old technology. On top of that 1G ram max? This has nothing to do with fanboyism either...its a simple comparison of price/performance/hardware. If it was smaller, more capable, and maybe a bit more attractive -- or cheaper -- I'd be all over it.]]>May 26th 2007 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/May 26th 2007 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/May 26th 2007 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/May 26th 2007 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/

And that's not even including the volume of the hand.

Why would you spend $1400 on what is essentially a Mac mini without Bluetooth, Wifi, or the ability to dual-boot into OS X and Windows?

Who, exactly, is this thing for, anyway?]]>May 27th 2007 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/May 27th 2007 3:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/26/stealth-computers-lpc-450-mini-pc/

Mac mini really has many many very advantage for consumer market(Home, office..). The LPC-450 appearance is "bad", but its has very good reliability & performance for other markets ( like indusity, commercial, Car...), If their case design liker mac mini, the cost certainly up and up. This is my thinking point , thank you.

Inner LPC-450 of the mainboard , I design it on my CARPC that pleace to 1-din space under instrument panel ( you know the temperature in car will be 60 degree more in summer )]]>May 30th 2007 5:29AM
