Beautiful?
This machine is IMO neither beautiful nor strong.
I would prefer a Mephisto Bavaria computer anytime, but that`s just me.

Unfortunately Mephisto Senator or Magellan are new only available in the
Exclusive board.
This is a mystery to me.
Someone who buys today a dedicated chess computer usually does not care much
about playing strength. The Design is much more important.
