The Mintbox is pretty cool, and has pretty good performance for such a small computer. I bet it gets great Wi-Fi reception with those two antennaes.
 
I probably like to read reviews on the MintBox before buying one if I needed a new Linux Mint PC. At least, all the hardware and software which comes with the Mintbox is compatible with Linux Mint unlike some computers which you buy from Dell, HP, etc which only works with Windows because the video card or sound card is not compatible with Linux.
