I used to run boxee from a macbookpro onto my main television in the living room. This worked surprisingly well alongside either the Apple remote or Boxee Controller App. Moving and re-hooking up my main computer to watch media was obviously tedious, so I ordered a Boxee Box at launch. The Boxee Box simplified the hell out of my media experience, which is definitely worth the $200 price tag. A laptop would probably work just fine, but the Box has the new 1.0 software, and the remote included is pretty great.
