VIDEO REVIEW: Nobu N8 In-wall Touchscreen Computer

Here is the video review of the Nobu N8WTS10 (I know it's a long name, try memorizing it!). Overall, this is a great product. I know a lot of people have suggested a Tablet PC or a UMPC over the Nobu, however, those units are not design to be used 24/7 and are not rated for in-wall use. The Nobu unit also has Windows XP embedded OS which makes it much more stable. Also, since this unit has all the I/O you'll need, it can act as your whole house control server, plus user interface controller making it worth the price alone. You will need to bring-your-own-software and the UI should be designed for touchscreen use since it's a bit hard to use otherwise.

Last month I wrote about the new Lantronix UBox 2100, a server which allows full control of USB devices over the network. The kind folks at Lantronix sent me a unit to review and for the last couple weeks I have been putting it through the tests. I'm happy to report that it's everything Lantronix promised and I'm even going to purchase one for myself -- it's that good!

Check out Mavromatic's FIRST EVER video review below:
