Foxconn nT330i

Buy from a company which has some sort of support.

Size

Technical support and RMA department are non-existent, their official support numbers always go to voice-mails. My power adapter has stopped working and I have been trying to get a replacement but can never reach their support. Forget about filing...

For linux make sure you install the latest nvidia drivers and use "vdpau" for playback. I didn't install a HDD - I'm using a 16 GB USB stick. 8 GB should be enough though. I've heard there are problems with the wired ethernet port causing hangups in...

Great for a linux MythTV front end after some tweaking. Runs 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10 no problem on 2 GB ram. It is fast. Great picture. The wireless G actually streams 1080i content with no problem from my local back-end media server, using <10% of the...

Booting from USB on this device is a bit painful. It seems to hang for a while while loading the kernel image.... could be my USB stick I suppose. Still working on getting the device to wake up from S3 sleep using the remote

I've literally just starting using this, so time will tell how media playback goes, but for my modest purposes I suspect it will be excellent. For the price I don't think this little box can be beat.

Small, cheap, fast! I am using Corsair 4GB RAM, item #: N82E16820145600 and it works perfectly (Foxconn REALLY needs to update their RAM compatibility table or make it a wiki at least). I am booting Ubuntu 10.10 directly off a Transcend 8GB SD card,...

Opening the case was slightly unintuitive. I used the end of a metal ruler to gently pry the sides away so that the lid would come off, which is exactly what you need to do. It's not sketchy, you just have to take a little care and it's easy

no matter how hard I tightened it or how much thermal paste I put on it wont matter if i doesnt make contact with the cpu...and the thermal pad didnt come loose in shipping...it was just laying loose , draped over the cpu . Why cant they just take...

This an update to my previous review AND a response to FOXCONN's remarks on my review ; Well, I got a replacement from Newegg. It was handled very nicely I must say. I did notice though that the motherboard and the capacitors look slightly different...

1. 4gig patriot mem is not listed in the memory Compatibility list, it has not been validated with your motherboard. Meaning it may or may not be compatible. Please try memory that is in compatibility list ; A.Have you tried using their website?...

perfect. use wintoflash to put windows 7 iso onto flash drive for install.

1080p with XBMC using Nvidia Ion Acceleration. 1080p Flash. No Silverlight Accelleration but I down use netflix... and it will have Accelleration eventually. Mix with MCE remote, IOGear RF keyboard, HDHomeRun, and my server of movies downstairs... and...

a little noisy... until I turn on the surround sound. Then who care

Ordered one for myself with SSD Hard Drive, works great. Ordered another one for a friend with normal Hard Drive, the Wifi won't connect to any Wifi router. It does not find all the routers nearby either. Reuqested a replacement but same problem. Just...

Small and well made machine, good for living room PC

Quality Control Problem

As compared to my kid's Acer Aspire One: - The Aspire cost about the same as NT330i - The Aspire has a 10" TFT screen - The Aspire came with RAM, HD, and OS - The Aspire's PS does not make noise - The Aspire has slightly less processor and GPU By...

Small. Neat concept. DVD combo. Actually, the Slim DVD has been more consistent and reliable than the NT330i

Poor execution of concept. Inconsistent build quality? Poor quality OE suppliers ; The current one I have runs hotter than the first. First one's CPU topped out in the 40c range. This one tops 50c+, per speedfan. ???Hmmm ; Power supply's cap-whine...

For people looking to install 4GB RAM, it must me Corsair for the second company I believe it's Kingston. Check Foxconns site!

Excellent Mini Computer

Limited Bios options

Device will only accept 4GB RAM from the two companies. Corsair & Kingston. I have a Stick in both my systems.

Excellent mini computer

Limited Bios options, but hey it not really a big deal

I've been using this as an HTPC for about a month now. It's running Boxee (on top of windows 7) and does REALLY well. I love it. I slap in 2gigs of RAM and an SSD drive and it's PREFECT.

PERFECT HTPC ; Small and pretty ; Great mounting options. Mine is mounted on the back of a 22' monitor using the bracket that came with the machine ; Dual core Atom ; WiFi option ; Can decode 1080p video with no issues. (So long as it's hardware...

Fan can be a bit loud at times ; Could be a bit faster, but for the price... it's pretty great
