this is the same specs as the Tesco device that was 180 last week but it says a mouse and keyboard are included too which is probably worth 20 pounds and this is the best price for it currently also?
anyone that bought it last week care to share what they thought? is this machine only good for streaming tv or is it ab decent computer for using programs on also ?

Seems a great deal. Remember, if this had an apple on it, they would call it a pro and sell it for at least a grand. Oh at least.

I purchased the Revo with the Intel Celeron 4GB ram version during the black friday deal for £100. I've got Kodi on it and it runs smoothly. Upgraded it to Windows 10 too which works better than Windows 8 imo. So my spec is lower than this but I'm very happy with it so for that spec I think its decent. I got the remote/touch pad but much prefer a keyboard/trackpad as its easier! This mini pc is great. Its nice and quiet and tiny enough to hide behind a photo frame!

You got a beautiful Deal that Black Friday mate ..... :-)
This looks to be exactly the same but says remote instead of keyboard for 40 more, so I wonder if you don't get the remote on this one, I heard its not great anyways but veryb strange all these packages

The remote isn't worth £40. Best going for your original keyboard option and keep the £40. If you're looking a small remote (which can be handy at times) you will probably be able to pick up something cheaper (and probably better) on ebay or Amazon.

Ok I have to ask, is the onboard graphics card capable of running Pro Evo?

can you change the graphics card to a gtx 750ti?

You're trolling right?
Gotta be!
750ti is a full size GFX card. This is a micro PC about the size of a small Tupperware box. Of course you can't fit a GFX card in it!

Why do people "Like" this nonsense? This isn't even an apple thread, plus the fact that the entry level iMac is less than a grand?

Actually, they would put an i5 in it, include 'free for life' (and millions of times better than Windows) OS X, make it out of aluminium rather than plastic and call it a Mac mini, priced at £399.
(and it would still be worth £200 in 5 years)
Fail.

I'm curios if this machine (these specs) will be any good for running all emulators up until and including N64/PS1? Mame too - ideally.

Ditto that! .. ironically I came back to this same Post to also query 'similar' about as to whether the FULL Version of Android could be put onto one of these things also too?, to like stick things like Showbox & the ilk on it, etc, etc, etc? (be it with a Windows Shell in tow?, &/or without ..... ) hmmmmmmmmmmmm, hehehehehehe. :-)
I remember years and years ago my pc could run a n64 one okay, don't recall the specs but sure it wouldn't be as good as this

Should be fine mate. I've seen much lesser builds than this running PS1 and N64 emulators. Anything more advanced than PS1/N64 though, I couldn't say...
