Tweakers.net Review says interesting player

ACR-PV73100-tweakersreviewTweakers.net – Netherland’s largest online gathering of the dutch community dedicated to computer talk – checks out Playon!HD. The Tweakers.net review says interesting player for anyone planning to buy Realtek processor-based mediaplayer.

“The player can host a 3.5 " hdd which nowadays are available with up to 2TB capacity and the price per GB drops further, where the available storage capacity meets the needs of space-consuming media files. Moreover, the finishing on the casing is good, the interface with the Realtek fast processor is smooth and the player gets to ‘ready for use’ fast.”
