yeah im gonna buy that for 1000bucks(note the sarcasm)

 

[Travis Beane]

I actually like the look of it. Too bad it's Acer, and quite expensive.

 

[xyzionz]

Wonder if I mod a ITX to a PS2 chassis, I think it will be a lot cheaper..

 

[nforce4max]

Right

 

[Darkv1]

$1000?! Cue laugh track now.

 

[joex444]

Good thing they got that 2.4GHz 802.11n and not the 1.6GHz. What other kind of redundant information can we ask for, I wonder.

 

[tsnorquist]

That'd make a great HTPC if it were say $500.00.

 

[tfrall]

Overpriced much.

Only the dumbest of the dumb (or the filthy rich) would consider buying this. I want to stand at the counter when one of these are purchased and quote dumb and dumber quotes.

"But can it run Crysis?"

Seriously, put a apple stick on top, call it iSlim, sell it to 1,200 and you're done: selling as hot cake.

 

[dEAne]

Good us a download rig or in office table pretty nice.

 

[Simple11]

No thanks, I can spend bout half the price of this and get a Atom 330/525 ION combo.

 

[cdirtydevil]

well we know its not a killer gaming machine

No not Apple fanboys, why would they get this when the Mac Mini starts at 699?! I think they Apple fanboys would be smarter than whoever purchases this since this thing makes a Mac mini seem like a better deal.

Six hundred UK pounds including VAT usually equates to a US street price of $599. Europeans generally pay more for electronic items.

At $599 I could see this appealing to high street consumers wanting a HTPC.

 

[lolsir]

so they make 1 new kinda cool product and thinks they got the right to charge anything they want :=/

 

[liveonc]

If people like the look, they wouldn't be the first to pay too much for the specs, but ACER is still something people consider to be cheap, even though the had a go with that Ferrari thing. Would it sell better if they put another name on it?

 

[eddieroolz]

It may resemble a PS2 Slim but it's much much more powerful than one 😉

I like the stylish design though. Good tastes.

I feel it to have the case quality of a Mac. Choose a proper sized laptop mainboard with hdmi and fit it in the ps2 slim et woilà!.

The Macbook and Mac mini logicboard with cooling system should fit in it properly.

 

[xi1inx]

Typo!!! I feel it to have not the case quality of a Mac. Plastic case is always like a tupperware plate for me!!!

 

[Drag0nR1der]

The pricing info is way out.

That conversion from £ to $ may be technically correct, but electronic goods generally cost above the conversion rate over here in the uk compared to their US counterparts... often you find that the US$ value isn't far off the UK£ value. I expect you'll see it for significantly less than $1000

@joex444

as opposed to a 5GHz 802.11n .......
