Earlier this year, I purchased a 26" Philips LCD HD TV, and promptly regretted the laboured choice when the Tv packed in on me and had to be returned to the manufacturer. You would think I'd have learned from my experience with the Streamium last year, so it's no surprise that I'm a tad skeptical with news of a Philips LX1000 Media Centre PC.
Sure, it's small, perfectly-formed, and packs a bit of a punch, boasting an AMD Turion 64 ML-34 1.8gHz processor, 1GB of DDR RAM, a 120GB hard drive, Wi-Fi, a DVD rewriter and an nVIDIA GeForce 6600 graphics card, but I'd like to see some detailed reviews before I pass any judgement on it.
Even though it's just 19cm x 5cm x 21cm deep and comes with Windows Media Centre Edition and a hybrid TV tuner, I reckon the £999 asking price will have to drop before I even consider buying Philips again.
