Advantages: Nice interface, great solution to problem

Disadvantages: No video playlists, sometimes a bit slow

I was a bit dubious about this product when I heard about it, but it is a real godsend. For years, we have wanted to be able to watch content from the computer on the TV. We've had a range of 'solutions', none of which has been user-friendly or worked.

The Apple TV just solves this problem, perfectly. You put your video content into iTunes, then synch it with the Apple TV. The Apple TV interface is beautiful and simple (as you'd expect from Apple). The remote control is tiny and very straightforward. (I think you can also use an iTouch or iPhone as a remote.)

It lets you listen to your iTunes music on your main stereo system, too.

Unfortunately, sometimes it runs slowly, so the menus hang, and you spend a lot of time zooming up and down past the item you actually want.

Also, it doesn't support video playlists, which is a bit frustrating.

Still, despite these minor problems, it's a great little piece of kit, one we use every day.

Summary: A really useful product.
