The Conrad Quilty-Harper over at http://www.engadget.com/have posted the first review of a Pico-ITX motherboard. I am not pretty sure how they had their hands on a mother-board so soon however I am guesstimating they acquired a sample board from a retailer somewhere. Apparently a few retailers got some boards as samples.
So how did it do? From what I can tell, pretty well. The motherboard is extremely tiny and consists of performance, which is at some place between Nano-ITX and Mini-ITX motherboards. Video playback seems to be solid though there appear to be tribulations with video acceleration. A few further vulnerabilities are a full-size battery enclosure on the bottom, an insubstantial DVI cable, a dearth of a Mini-PCI slot, and single SATA port.
Further tribulations comprise a price, which is said to be high and the dearth of available cases. Presently there are no availability of cases and things are also not positive due to a narrow user base. Hence from VIA in actual fact requires to get involved and introduced a small number of cases similar to their reference case so fans are having a starting off point. A new remarkable point that occurred was that the motherboard is capable enough of being sprinted but for the fan, which is below par, while the fan ought to not occupy much room.
I even now hope high for the PX motherboards however I can make out many info that is expected to be knotty in the long run. It looks as if the people at Mini-ITX were pleased with it, which hints at a good sign, however they got their share of tribulations through the review.
