For me it is the form-factor and dedicated design. PCs are great all-purpose tools but they rarely have the elegance of a purpose designed application hardware/software platform.
The Touch is compact, has a nice form factor and easy interface, can act as its own server (so I can plug-in an external drive), and from all accounts, respectable hardware for audio reproduction. Sure... I could build a fan-less computer, throw a copy of Windows on it and run a touchscreen LCD, either a high-end sound card or run to an external DAC but it isn't as polished as a dedicated product. -- Kevin Haskins ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kevin Haskins's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30729 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76721 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
