| Squilliam said: Well HDMI cables get very technical with runs over 30ft with repeaters etc required. Also there is the nice thing about having a touch screen input right on the device to drive the computer whereas with a long HDMI cable run you'd also need to work out how to get at least a mouse hooked up as well. This device looks pretty neat and I am looking forward to perhaps a more open standard based on this kind of technology which is GPU agnostic with more options for end use devices. Edit: It also has a USB port so you could probably use it as a hub to plug in a proper KB/M setup if you wanted. |
Great point! I just skimmed the article, I wonder how many Steam games are supported, all of the Big Picture games? I'll actually be less lazy and read it after this.... I'm wondering if other games will support this, If I can stream a game from my PC to this "console", then hook the "console" up to my TV downstairs from my PC and hook up a mouse and keyboard to it, it would be a great way to play MMOs without waking my wife up (my PC is in my bed room.)
