Sapphire Edge HD2 Mini PC Review

Setup & Testing Procedures
The Edge HD2 comes with Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit installed so you don’t need to install anything when you set it up.  Everything works right out of the box so you can easily get setup.  Let’s open up CPU-Z and see what we are working with.

For comparison purposes we will be testing the Sapphire Edge HD2 against the recently reviewed Zotac ZBOX HD-AD02 Plus.  Here are the specs on each system.

    That is one heck of a great review. Would love to see the temps though…

    It is more than impressive that Sapphire is able to carry their graphical expertise to other segments of personal computing and entertainment! The review is fantastic and spot on. I’ll look forward to this product as a media-buff.

    Terrible terrible opposing colours to choose for those bar graphs…. blue vs. blue (I know I CAN tell the difference, but you could have made it easier).
