Just when we'd given up on Media Center PCs as a bad job, the Elonex Artisan parachuted in and made us think again. Three seconds after opening the box, we had it up and running.
Elonex openly challenges the competition with the Artisan. It might as well have stood up and slapped the Higrade DMSII in the face with its own CD tray. It's really that much better.
We've never had this degree of success with a Media Center PC. More than once we've been driven to screaming at one and punching it in the LCD extremely hard, so the Artisan fell like a soothing balm on our battle-weary bodies. Not only did it actually work (a minor feat, yet seemingly beyond most Media Centers), but even more bizarrely, we could hold down our breakfast after looking at it.
So what's going on? Have we changed our minds about Media Center PCs? We'll let you know after we've spent a week with the little beastie. -CS
