Lenovo's BEACON Brings Evansport to the Living Room
 

Intel's Evansport storage platform and their Berryville STB platform are, for all practical purposes, the same. Given this, it is only logical to expect an Evansport NAS to double up as a media streamer. The Evansport NAS units currently in the market (such as the Thecus N2560, Asustor AS-602T and the Synology DS214play) all come in the standard NAS tower form factor. This looks pretty out of place in the living room / entertainment center. To address this concern, Lenovo is coming out with the BEACON, a product based on the Intel CE 5315. The unit's industrial design is a work of art, as shown in the gallery below.
