2004-12-22 - SFT: "Bonsai-computer in the test"

SFT "Smaller than Japanese bonsai trees, the fully configured mini-PCs try to top their bigger counterparts." SFT's report may sound more like a facetious challenge than a serious review, but don't let appearances deceive you! According to the editors, this mini-PC can do everything its bigger counterparts can, in addition to looking marvelous.

Taking part in this test were the Shuttle XPC System Solution P 8100G as well as the winner, the "Magic Cube" from "PC Spezialist," based on the Shuttle XPC Barebone SB77G5. Shuttle really outdid itself, with the Shuttle XPC System Solution P 8100G outperforming the winning model based on its XPC barebone in the "Performance" ategory.

"With hardware designed especially for gamers, Shuttle's P 8100G delivers the best gaming-performance," wrote SFT's editor. Which meant that the "performance-wonder" earned itself the third place, with a final grade of 2.1!
