HTPC in Giappone

ricevo questa "succosa" notizia e la riporto integralmente:

"The Gist: There has been a whole host of PCs with Microsoft's spanky
new Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 announced this week for
Japan. I've put the URLs for some of them at the end of this piece but
will focus on the one from Hitachi for now -- mostly because it's my
birthday this week, and our esteemed leader and publisher may well be
reading this and feeling generous and well disposed to my humble
groveling. Or not. Anyway, Hitachi's 770G20TVP2 is part of the
company's "Prius Deck" series, with the stunning eye-catching feature
of a HUGE 20-inch, WXGA (1,280x768) LCD display (one of the elements
that makes this the sexiest Media Center offering this week, I
reckon).

This delicious machine is powered by a 4.3Ghz Pentium 4 CPU and 512 MB
of PC2700 RAM memory, has a 250GB hard disk and a 64MB GeForce FX
Go5200 video card as well as a combo optical drive capable of handling
DVD±R/RW and DVD-RAM. And there's an integral TV tuner, obviously.
Everything, then. Software includes Office Personal Edition 2003
pre-installed. The display alone makes the 770G20TVP2 look like a
million bucks, but in case you need extra convincing, it comes with
two remote controls. Two remotes! That ought to count for something.
You know you're getting some quality merchandise when it needs
double-handed controlling.

A parte il fatto che non credo sarà disponibile a breve da noi, sembra davvero una bella macchinetta, no?

Mandi!
