HP X280N MediaSmart Connect With The Interactive Features
By Nikos L Maxwell
Are you still trying to watch your digital movies and
media files on your computer monitor when there is a
perfectly good television sitting in the other room?
Sure, some televisions allow you to hook your laptop
or computer directly into the set. But why go to that
hassle?
With the HP X280N MediaSmart Connect you have a multimedia
device that can play all of your media files without
having to go through your computer. Just imagine being
able to review your options and access all of your media
files from your television set. That is the versatility
that this media player has to offer you.
Media Player Allows Access Media Files On Your Computer
So what can you expect from the HP X280N MediaSmart
Connect? Well, if you have Microsoft Vista installed
on your computer and you have a wireless network, then
the media player allows you to access all of your media
files on your computer.
If that is not enough, it lets you connect to the internet
and download movies that you want without the hassle
of a DVD player or a trip to the store to buy a movie.
No one can overlook that you can also watch Internet
TV Beta, record HDTV and check out the Fox Sports lounge.
Blazing Fast Speed To Download A Movie
Provided you have a high speed internet connection
and a wireless modem, the X280N runs on 802.11n technology.
That is a blazing fast speed that allows you to download
or rent a movie from CinemaNow. You no longer have to
worry about a DVD becoming scratched up or having to
return a movie with a late fee.
There is no standing in line to wait for that new release.
If that were not enough to convince you that the X280N
is a marvel of technology, it also gives you the ability
to listen to the radio on Live365 internet radio.
Need Windows Vista To Run Interactive Features
You may not have noticed the small catch earlier. In
order to get the best out of the X280N you have to be
running Vista. You can still run the X280N on Windows
XP but you are not going to get the interactive features
such as the Internet TV Beta, nor will you be able to
record your favorite HDTV programming. If you are running
earlier Window’s software, you will not be able to use
the X280N at all.
The HP X280N MediaSmart Connect is not for everyone.
With the price you are going to pay to own one, you
need to have an HDTV and be running an up to date computer
with Microsoft Vista.
For those that do not have these things, then the X280N
is not be the best choice in HD media players. But for
those who do this is a machine that can do it all and
you will not be disappointed.

More HD Media Player Facts....
If you are not sure of what an HD media player can
do for you, you are not alone. Many people do not realize
how great a piece of technology HD media players really
are.
They have the ability to play movies, view pictures,
watch live videos and listen to music from your computer
to your television. It completely erases the need for
a separate stereo, DVD player and photo album. This
player can do it all and most even come with USB ports
so that you can have even more space.
