ASUS O!PLAY MINI HD MEDIA PLAYER INTRODUCTION
Not long ago, the Tweaknews labs reviewed Asus' O!Play HD2 media player. It had a lot going for it including a USB 3.0 port, 3.5" HDD support, 1080p support, 7.1 channel surround sound, and testing proved it could play HD videos smoothly each and every time. As great as the O!Play HD2 turned out to be, one drawback was its size. For many home theater enthusiasts it's difficult to find a place for yet another box. With receivers, satellite boxes, game consoles and other devices filling up modern living rooms, space can come at a premium.
Enter the Asus O!Play Mini HD Media Player. As the name suggests, this media player is small and lightweight, making it easy to tuck away anywhere. Unlike it's big brother though. the Mini doesn't offer internal HDD support or USB 3.0. Don't let that deter you though, because it looks very promising. Let's take a closer look.
