Fujitsu Deskpower TX is here

Fujitsu's first home entertainment PC with instant DVD recording capability, dubbed the Deskpower TX has finally arrived to our shores here on the 9th of January. This post is few days late because I don't have a camera with me until yesterday to shoot the photos of this new 32" PC-TV. This sexy baby will cost your wallet RM 15,888 and no you can't have it straight away - there's only 1 unit in the whole country and we will have to order it from Japan for you.

This PC-TV comes with built-in double TV-tuner - yes, you can plug in your home's standard TV antenna and watch your favourite channel right away - and equipped with a Dual Layer High Speed DVD recorder so you can record Desperate Housewives from the TV when you're out of the house. There are front accessible ports such as USB, Firewire, S-Video and RCA.

Nonetheless, the TX does include a remote control plus a set of wireless keyboard and mouse. The funny thing that I encoutered is that the keyboard and mouse's wireless receiver is built-in but the remote control's wireless receiver is USB-powered! Not sure why Fujitsu has did it this way but I certainly thinks that it'll be perfect if the remote's receiver is built-in as well. Overall, the built-in speakers and surround sound quality is good. Of course, if you want a true surround sound, get an external surround speaker set.

Last but not least, this PC-TV is pre-loaded with Microsoft's Windows XP Media Centre Edition which is supposed to make entertainment and multimedia more fun and easier. Interface are much the same, just that there's an extra app called the "Media Centre" where you have all those entertainment and multimedia playback options.

Meanwhile, I'm going to watch Transporter 2 on the TX...
