Philips Electronics has entered Media Center PC market
with the MPC9350i, which boasts twin (analog) TV tuners, a hard disk-based PVR, wireless Internet access, a 3GHz
Pentium 4, 512 MB of memory and an impressive 250 GB hard drive. It also features a DVD burning which supports dual-layer DVD /-R, single-layer DVD /-R/RW and CD-R/RW, plus an eight-in-one memory card reader, four USB 2.0 inputs, two six-pin and one four-pin Firewire ports.
Add to the mix an 802.11b/g Wi-Fi adaptor along with Ethernet networks, SCART, RCA, DVI, S-video and a bunch of other audio and video ports, and you're looking at a fairly impressive Media Center set-up.
The unit is expected to launch in the U.K. first, retailing for around £1000.
