>>The design will output video to a standard TV, and even cheap TV sets provide better pictures than much more expensive computer monitors.<<

Don -

The statement above is just wrong. I really wonder about some tech reporters. Computer monitors offer much better resolution than standard televisions. If they didn't, we'd all use TVs as monitors, wouldn't we?

>>But using a separate TV defeats the space-saving idea.<<

That's true.

Overall, it sounds like Microsoft has an interesting idea there, but for 1,500 bucks with no monitor, it's hard to understand why the college student who wants a good entertainment system wouldn't just get a mini-stereo and a good TV for the same or less money.

The Tivo-like PVR feature is a good idea, though.

Apple could take this idea and really do it right. I'd like to see them do it.
