This is great if they manage to pull it off. Solutions like DLNA are sometimes slow and are buffered. DLNA cannot be used to duplicate or extend your monitor. I would buy it instantly. I wasted so much time this year getting alternative solutions to work, like XBMC on a raspberry pi. There is no need for a media pc, if you can just use your laptop to quickly watch videos on your TV. Always plugging in a laptop is a big hassle.

EDIT: Using DLNA gets annoying. I need to start a software on my laptop and then I have to use my TV remote to select the file I want to watch in the TV menu. A solution like this is so much more quicker.
