Konklusion

På ydersiden og papiret en yderst vellykket medie afspiller. Men efter lidt brug bliver enheden hurtigt irriterrende at bruge. Den ser super godt ud, hvilket indbyder til at stille den ved siden af TVet, men larmen får en til at gemme den langt væk. Dens hurtige opstart gør den indbydende at bruge men den tunge og kedelige brugerflade skræmmer en væk. Hvis denne enhed virkelig skal score top karakter skal softwaren oppes.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 2
Bundlen til denne media afspiller er ikke noget vildt. Den kommer med hvad du skal bruge for at få afspilleren op og køre. Dvs. diverse kabler og en fjernbetjening. Denne afspiller kommer også med en stor 1TB disk, men hvad ville afspilleren være uden disken.

Design/Layout - 4
Udseendet fejler i hvert fald ikke noget på denne maskine. Men der er dog nogle fejl. F.eks. er placeringen af usb til den ekstra wifi dongle eller andet usb udstyr helt i vejret. Hvis man ønsker at bruge denne så skal den sidde og stritte ud fra siden og dermed gøre enheden meget bredere. Det ville være meget bedre hvis der havde været usb porte bag på, og måske en gemt foran bag en låge.

Software - 2
Softwaren er noget at det der trækker ned ved denne afspiller. Den er kedelig og ensformig at se på. De funktioner der skal være der er det men heller ikke mere, jeg savner nogle smarte funktioner der gør afspilleren lettere, smartere og lækrere at bruge.

Ydelse - 3
Denne afspiller yder som den skal når man bruger den som media afspiller og den er ganske hurtig. Men hvis man kigger på NAS og netværks delen halter den. Her mangler enheden noget seriøs power før den bliver virkelig brugbar.

Pris - 2
DKR 1800,- for en medie afspiller er mange penge. Selvom denne kommer med 1TB hdd og et super udseende mangler denne afspiller en masse på software siden.  Man kan få billigere og bedre alternativer.

UK summary

On the outside and on the paper this is a very successful media player. But after a while using the player becomes very annoying to use. It looks super which calls for a spot next to your TV. But the noise it produce, makes you want to hide it far away. Its fast start up is good, but the heavy and boring interface scares you away. If this should recieve the top score, the software need to be worked on alot. 

Bundle/Accessories - 2
The bundle for this player isn’t anything wild. It is bundled with what you need to get the player running. i.e. some cables and a remote control. This player does also come with a 1 TB harddrive, but what would the device had been without.

Design/Layout - 4
The looks of this box isn’t the problem at all.  But there is a flaw in the design. The placement of the usb ports, the extra wifi dongle or a usb device, is really bad. If you want to use the wifi dongle then it has to sit in the side of the machine and thereby making it wider. It would had been better if there had been some at the back of the box and perhaps on in the front behind a lid.

Software - 2
The software is one of the things that drag this player down. It is boring and uniform to look at. I miss some smart functions that makes this player easier, smarter and more delicious to use.

Performance - 3
This player does as it is supposed to when it is used as a media player, and it is pretty fast too. But if you look at the NAS and network part it is not good. The machine needs some serious power before that part becomes usable.

Price - 2
DKK 1800,- for a media player is a lot of money. Even though it comes with a 1TB harddrive and a super looks, it is missing a lot on the softwareside. And one can get cheaper and better alternatives.
