bulletFeb-11 Cambridge Asian and Middle Eastern Studies goes for SIXTEEN Avantek NetTops! Here is what Steven Fagg, Computer Manager said:
"I had an extensive session with the Net-top on Saturday and tried out a number of tasks that I thought might stress the machine. I have to say that, in my opinion, it coped admirably with:
bulletA notoriously large and slow Flash application embedded in a web-page
bulletRunning the Oracle web-based Java applications necessary to access parts of the University Financial System
bulletEditing photographs in Adobe Photoshop (Elements 6) and doing "save-for-web" format conversions and scaling operations
bulletEditing web pages in Adobe Dreamweaver (CS3)
bulletHandling large IMAP mailboxes in Microsoft Outlook (2007)
bulletPlaying multicast web video streams with VLC
bulletRunning an interactive Adobe AIR application (Tweetdeck)..."
bullet

"...In short, everything seemed to go just fine; I've seen it to be a very capable machine for the price and am reconsidering (upwards!)  the range of uses it might be suitable for."
