HP MediaSmart Connect Review
Chris Lanier has Part 1 of a 3 part review of the HP MediaSmart Connect up on his site. The review has a ton of information about the unit. The one thing that people overlook is the HP MediaSmart Connect can do more than just act as a Media Center extender. It can act as a standard UPnP/DLNA media device to work with other operating systems. This is done throught a seperate interface that HP has built. You have to switch between the HP interface and the Media Center Extender interface. There is actually an option to boot the machine to the last UI you were using. So if you only want to use it as a Media Center extender you can have it boot to that everytime.
I’m looking forward to the rest of his reviews and too see what the conclusion is on how it stacks up agains the D-link and Linksys extenders.
