I think this is a wonderful solution for a small home pc!
Only a pitty the system looks much larger than the Acer one.
I agree if I'd have to pay $200-$300 just for the mobo, that's insane!
The least they could do is provide a case included .
But I can understand they probably are starting out, and should lower prices as production and demand meet up.
I'm especially interested in the performance of the Ion platform powered by the dual Atom processor.
I understood from previous tests, that the Atom did not have enough power to playback blueray movies (do the decrypting), while the Nvidia graphics card is able to display 1080p HD content.
I haven't seen many benchmarks of the 2core Atom, so perhaps this system is able to decode blueray disks?
I'd love to see this atom pc powered by an AMD/ATI Radeon 4670 or something like that! Low power consumption, high power graphics!
Can you imagine having a Radeon 4670 powered PC, the size of an old VHS video tape? One that has enough processing power to play games like Prince of Persia, or WoW online,yet uses less power than your bedroom lightbulb?
