great value

Date:May 16, 2013
Pros: Input/Output compatibility, Weight, Durability, Memory, Build Quality, Storage
Cons: Included Software, Processor
"i pain 285 in total for this pc, and couldn't be happier. I've had this for 4 months now, and it's performing really well. it's stable, and it's surprisingly fast. my only concern is the processor. they could at least provide the option of providing a faster processor instead of making the decision beforehand..."

Excellent Replacement for Tower

Date:May 9, 2013
Pros: Input/Output compatibility, Weight, Warranty, Processor, Support, Included software, Memory, Wireless card, Build Quality, on desk with i/o
Cons: Keyboard/peripherals
"I love my Q190. It is great to have unit on my desktop with all my I/O . It was a very easy install and plugging and unplugging new devices such as a Printer, Display/Monitor, KB,Mouse, Scanner, Cable Box, $29 Slim Portable DVD, etc is so easy. No Crawling on floor (I'm 78). I upgraded from Windows XP and could have used a better users guide. I don't use Windows 8 touch and the ICON Screen is harder to navigate than XP."

Update to 1/23/13 review

Date:March 6, 2013
Pros: Processor, Memory, Storage
Cons: Build Quality, beep beep sound
"So i have had the Q190 for over a month, I still like it and the performance is very good. After some use the 9502 keyboard is not as great as I thought...sometimes doesn't connect and not so easy to hold, type on, or navigate with (you can download a mouse and keyboard on Android/iPhone that works well). One more minor annoyance...I work and read in complete silence usually and the Q190 is in the same room with me...there is a discernible "beep beep beep..." when the Q190 is in standby mode...would be nice if this noise were eliminated (simple fix is to power it all the way off)."

Q190

Date:January 29, 2013
Pros: Processor, Memory, Keyboard/peripherals, Build Quality
Cons: Included Software
"Seems like there are limited models due to this being early in the launch (launched mid-Jan, only a few weeks ago). Would like to see the i3 Version (dissappeared off web site - looks like they got too many orders) + Blue Ray + TV Tuner + Windows Pro (for Media Center functionality) = ultimate HTPC set-up. Their advertising says all of these options are available, but there's no ability to configure that system on their web site. Sales support said that you can only purchase their pre-configured set-ups, which don't have all the right options to make the ultimate HTPC config. Hopefully they will add this soon to line up with their advertising. I will wait to order until then. This looks like a really cool system."

Q190 - Good HTPC Choice

Date:January 23, 2013
Pros: Input/Output compatibility, Processor, Memory, Video card, Keyboard/peripherals, Storage
Cons: Included Software, Build Quality
"Drill one hole in metal bracket to M8 size to mount HTPC to back of 55" LED TV. Windows 8 is a good choice, looks great on big screen, easy to navigate. i3 processor is very fast, streams Hulu, Amazon videos no problem. N5902 keyboard works great, many functions done with one hand, wish was rechargeable. Wish it had a HDTV tuner option and included Win8 Pro + Media Center. Case is "plasticky", need to get rid of silver and shiny black and go matte/textured, also don't like the piggy back DVD...should be integrated (all of this not a big deal if mounted on back of TV). Overall a very good package with a lot included. Will probably get another one for the bedroom."

Really? - No Blu ray player

Date:January 7, 2013
Cons: no blu ray drive
"Hard to believe that it does not come with a Blu ray player. Given that they are advertising this as something to connect to the tv."

like the q series, seems high $ for celeron

Date:November 20, 2012
Pros: Wireless card, Build Quality, Display resolution, Input/Output compatibility, Memory, Keyboard/peripherals, Storage
"I have 1 Q170 and 7 q180 attom based units on backs of TVs- very nice, but of course Attom processors are a bit laggy-
Looking forward to getting a q190 to test, but 1st ones out are only Celeron processors and higher cost?????
will wait to get one until an i3 version is affordable ..hopefully that is going to happen soon, but maybe not."
