Full Review - Conclusion
Conclusion
The Vidabox RoomMate really earns its stay when being used in a setting that takes advantage of its small size. A dorm room, bedroom, study, home theater or kitchen really seems to make the most sense. If you are looking for a hardcore Media Center PC and one preferably with DVI output and HDTV capabilities, then check out the other systems provided by Vidabox. As it stands, the RoomMate really does a lot considering its small size; the only real improvement we would recommend is adding DVI (HDCP compatible) output to the system – because it really is a big deal. And at the premium price point that Vidabox is demanding, an HDTV solution should not have been out of the picture either. In either case, the Vidabox RoomMate is definitely one of the most attractive systems out there, both in looks and performance.
Pros:
• Very quiet operation
• Appealing design
• Comes with all of the necessary cables
• Detailed instruction manuals
Cons:
• No DVI output
• Lacks an HDTV tuner
• Expensive
• Digital Optical output is on the front only
