Apple TV MC572LL/A (2010) Review
The sleek new Apple TV has been completely re-tuned for your entertainment. It’s 80 percent smaller than the previous generation — even with a built-in power supply. Which makes it perfect for sitting neatly on a wide-screen TV stand or squeezing into a crowded media cabinet. Not only does the new Apple TV have an amazingly small footprint, it’s also incredibly energy efficient. It stays cool without a fan, so it’s never noisy. And when it’s not filling your living room with drama, romance, and comedy, it uses less power than a night-light.
Redesigned to be smaller, the Apple TV allows you to rent commercial-free TV shows in HD as well as rent from the largest selection of HD movies--many available the same day they come out on DVD. Now everything you want to watch--movies, TV shows, photos, and more--streams wirelessly to the Apple TV, and you don't have to worry about managing storage or syncing to your iTunes library.
The Apple TV streams content from Netflix, YouTube, Flickr, and MobileMe, as well as music, photos, and videos from PCs and Macs to your HDTV. And those movies and TV shows you bought on iTunes don't have to stay on your computer. For maximum entertainment, stream your digital collection over the air to your Apple TV.
It features built-in HDMI, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and an internal power supply for easy set-up, and it features silent, cool, very low power operation in an enclosure that's less than four inches square--80 percent smaller than the previous generation. Control the Apple TV using the included seven-button aluminum Apple Remote, or use your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and the Remote app--a free download from the iTunes App Store.
