That one is a little under powered for a media center – -
but it might have other uses in a household.

And then there is the question of operating system – -
I don't know the MS product line well, but I think only the
more expensive additions allow remote desktop login.

With Linux – remote login to the GUI is just normally turned off.

Turn the remote GUI access on, then use and/or control the large
screen device from the comfort of your NetBook on the couch. ;)

Thinking that way, these are “NetBook accessories”.

I have been wondering about this inclusion of the “one piece” machines here – - -
But after a lot of thought – it does make a sort of sense for a “NetBook” blog/forum – -

If you have a NetBook – the one thing you might want at home is a “large screen” device -
Since these (both the “one piece” and the “NetBooks”) come with wireless -
They could easily be set to run as their own little wireless cell -
Turning the combination into a local cell of devices for a purpose -
The NetBook on the end table – the large display thingy “over there” –
All networked into one “household services” setup (along with the blender and micro-wave).
