LaCie LaCinema Mini HD

$300.00 Released January, 2010

The Pros:Unit is fairly small/compact - ideal for users who frequently travel to friends' houses to watch video and movie content. Minimal black aesthetic integrates smoothly within existing home theater configurations - ambient LED provides a soft, subtle presence. Initial setup is very simple - quickly and securely tethers to home Wi-Fi connection for reliable streaming.

The Cons:Not recommended for extensive streaming applications - tends to get very hot, sometimes after only ~20 minutes of use. Lacks support of services like Netflix, Hulu and Vudu - puts unit at a considerable disadvantage compared to offerings from Iomega and WD.
