Conclusion

AOpen shows us where it's at with its awesome mini PC as a new era has dawned in the barebones segment with AOpen's XC Cube AV. Its functions should become standard and mandatory in all mini PCs. With its InstantON software, AOpen circumvents the boot time of the Windows operating system. In five short seconds, the DVD or MP3 player and the TV tuner card are ready for use. For those who prefer working in Windows, the XC Cube AV barebones can also be equipped with the Microsoft OS. What you're left with in this case is a normal PC in a slim format. Even then the XC Cube AV shows its individuality. With Home Theater from InterVideo, the backbone becomes a digital VCR, a radio or a DVD player, depending on how the mini PC is being used at that moment. It goes without saying that the XC Cube AV also works well for gaming and online use. What's more, its intelligent fan control means that you can barely hear it when it is in operation.

The XC Cube AV is available in the stores for less than $400 or 339 euros.
