Hands-on with the Archos 405 and DVR dock

We've always loved the build quality of Archos products, and the 405 is no exception. The slim form factor and build give this player a feeling of superb ruggedness. Since there aren't any moving parts, operation is swift, with no waiting around for a slow hard drive to spin up and seek data across a fragmented platter.

Sadly, there's no built-in kickstand like there is on the 605, so despite the potential 34GB capacity, this isn't a device hoping to solve all your portable video needs.

The real fun comes when you hook the player up to the TV dock and enjoy DVD-quality video on your HDTV...
