Fujitsu Unveils Esprimo Q1500 SFF Desktop
Fujitsu unveiled its newest desktop, that can be tucked away in a corner making more space on the desk. The Esprimo Q1500 is a lunchbox-sized small form-factor (SFF) desktop that's around the dimensions of the Apple Mac Mini, only more powerful. Under its tiny lid is an Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53 GHz or Celeron 900 2.20 GHz processor, Intel GM45 chipset, 4 GB of system memory, 320 GB storage, and a slot-in Blu-ray combo drive or DVD writer. Connectivity options include gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth, 801.11 b/g/n, and 6 USB 2.0 ports. Display outputs are care of DVI-D and HDMI. An 8-channel Realtek ALC888 codec covers audio. It comes with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. Measuring 165 x 165 x 50 mm (LxWxH), and weighing a mere 1.7 kg (3.75 lbs), the Esprimo Q1500 makes quite a statement, even more so since its notebook-grade hardware draws 19W of power when idling. Expected to ship later this month, the Esprimo Q1500 is expected to sell for 699 EUR.

Although the P8700 alone should already be able to handle 1080p encodes.
Still would be nice to see the same thing with a 9400M or something as the IGP.
i had an intel 3500 (not sure on the model number, but i recall 4500 being the model up) and it was perfectly fine for aero in vista, and watching movies.
remember that if you arent using DXVA you arent using hardware acclereation - so a weak video card doesnt stop you watching 1080P media decoded by the software.
gigabit, bluetooth, HDMI, powerful CPU... seriously, this is a god in the itx realm.
