N1T1 gives people a first impression that it is a compact size NAS with an ODD inside. The one I have is mainly white at the both side of the case, and black in the middle part. Size is around 6.5x15x21cm.
You can mount N1T1 on a pedestal to make it stands as well. As usual, the ID design of LG looks simple but elegant. I'm not sure how often I will use the optical disc drive of N1T1, but I'm very glad to see it comes with a slot in type. However, it will be weird to see a such kind of elegant device has tongue.
The full packing includes: N1T1 main set, pedestal, PC software installer disc, multimedia user guide disc, a installation manual with multi languages, power supply, LAN cable, USB cable.
I haven't really finishing reading the manual yet, but I believe the colorful manual with a step by step installation guide will certainly be very helpful for the beginner. You can find another detail setup manual in one of the discs. I do feel a little disappointed that the setup manual is basically for Windows users. There are not much description of how to setup NAS from a Linux machine or MAC. But still, the manual still teaches how to connect to NAS from Windows, MAC and Linux. There is something which really impress me is the CD manual creates a very unique UI embedded with flash which makes you being able to choose the difficult parts and learn them from the flash animation.
Indeed, end users who are interested in these kind of products always get scared about a bunch of internet concepts. Google does not really make it easier, sometimes even worse. LG really does spend a lot of efforts to make this product to become user friendly, or at least, manual friendly. Next step will be the network setup.
PROS: Nice looking design, great setup manual.
CONS: Not enough details for non-Windows setup process.
