WinBook Jiv Mini Review

Monday September 18, 2006

Over the next two weeks I'm going to covering a new category of computer system for the PC Hardware / Reviews site. Small form factor systems are not new, but they certainly are a popular item now for consumers. They are systems that are reduced in size from a standard desktop computer thanks to the use of either notebook components or creative engineering.

The WinBook Jiv Mini is a specialized small form factor PC that is designed to be used as a media center PC. While it packs all the features that one would normally find in a personal computer, they have also added an integrated TV tuner and Media Center OS. Find out in my review how the WinBook Jiv Mini performed in this role while still retaining its small dimensions.
