Conclusion
Vizo have had a great idea, provide an enclosure with a purpose above just storing information. However, this implementation isn’t without its flaws. Sluggish transfers, clunky menus, and generic theme and remote. The Milano feels like a proof-of-concept rather than a full blown media centre. It’s a shame as I feel that this could really be useful, imagine taking all of your movies round to your mate’s house, rather than 3-4 DVD’s. The digital generation is all about choice, which the Milano can offer.
A simple firmware update and redesigned remote would go a long way to making this product stand out; it’s just a shame that little more effort hasn’t been put in.
| Pros | Cons |
| Fantastic idea | Poor implementation |
| Small, looks good | No cooling |
| HDTV output ability | No support for SATA or eSATA |
| Poor media firmware |
I'd like to thank Vizo for providing us with the enclosure.
