It's basically an aspire revo upgraded to dual-core. This looks like a great ION based HTPC client. The dual core atom should help flash performance a lot....


Should be shipping soon.

People are reporting that an Atom 330 + ION still can't handle Flash (no hardware acceleration) but Blu-Ray (HA works) is fine. With HA for Flash (in development), this could be a great HTPC choice. Will bitstreaming work? I would like to see a 7.1 analog audio option myself.
The 9400m doesnt bit stream only LPCM and no analog out... I agree though if Adobe can do something about flash this is real contender (depending on the price point)

How come? Zotac board with ION outputs bitstream just fine over HDMI.
Im sorry.. I was talking about TrueHD and DTS-MA HD... DD and DTS it will bitstream..
