Interesting HD player from LaCie

This is especially true for the exterior.

LaCie has unveiled its portable HD player, the real curiosity of which lies in the design. In practice, the housing itself is a plastic bumper-like formation that is very effective in protecting the 2,5 "500 GB HDD hidden in the rumen from harmful influences - and at that time we didn't even talk about the vibration-absorbing lining. After that, it's no surprise at all. as it is the Rugged HD model of the LaCinema series.

The small portable player - blessed with a size of 90 × 145 × 28 (mm) - can communicate with the outside world via a USB 2.0 port, and the multimedia unit offers us two video outputs: composite and HDMI. Breaking into WD TV laurels, the product supports the following standards in HD format: H.264, MKV, WMV9 and MPEG-4.

LaCinema Rugged HD, available in weeks, will cost $ 350.
