What are the "pros and cons" of the original Apple TV? Is it right for my needs?
Please note that the original Apple TV has been discontinued. It was replaced by the black second generation Apple TV on September 1, 2010.
Like any other purchase, only you can make the decision whether or not the Apple TV is worthwhile, but you can evaluate the pros and cons of the device to see if your needs are met. This summary may be helpful in making a decision:
Pros:
Cons:
Basically, if you want an easy way to present the iTunes content stored on your household computers on a recent television then the original Apple TV is worth consideration. On January 15, 2008, Apple also added the capability to rent movies directly from the television via Apple TV.
