+1 I found the Pi not well suited to media playing apps. Playing the media was okay ish, not perfect, but navigating the menus was painful. I have an Acer Aspire Revo 3600 which has an Atom CPU and nVidia GPU, running a stripped down Linux distro and XBMC. Works a treat with an external remote control. The only thing it doesn't do is power down/up when I need it. You can pick them up on ebay.
