384 programmable GPU cores? My HD3850 has 320 cores, and it performs 10 times worse than an HD7770. And that thing costs $1.000? With $1.000 you can build a Mini-ITX pc in a Bitfenix Prodigy case, with a WAY faster processor (You can even get a good cooler and overclock it - outperforming 10 times the "Piston"'s all-in-one chip), a WAY better GPU (10 to 20 times faster, supporting DirectX 11 and running smoothly), 8 or even 16 GB of FAST ram (I bet this piston has 1.000 mhz ram, most gaming DDR3 ram is 1.600 ~ 2.300 mhz), you can get an SSD which will provide INCREDIBLE (~10 sec) boot times, game load times, windows load times, etc. and doesn't break if you drop it, you can get super-quiet fans, a blue-ray drive, a high-performance WiFi card, and a very good Motherboard. Why would anyone want to buy a square box with the performance of a high-end smartphone? (Edit: for $1000?)
