ion-based netbooks and nettops

http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acer ... spirerevo/

read the above article ... YESTERDAY!!!

quick run-down of the specs:

1.6GHz Intel Atom 230 CPU

up to 4GB of RAM

up to 250GB of HDD space

4-in-1 card reader

HDMI / VGA outputs

gigabit Ethernet

six USB 2.0 sockets

audio in / out

Windows Vista Home Premium / Basic

svelte black and white enclosure

7.1- x 7.1- x 1.2-inches

capable of handling 1080p (and thus, Blu-ray) content

DirectX 10 capabilities

as you can probably guess, i find this very unexciting ... oh who am i kidding, i'm totally stoked!!

i can't wait to get my hands on one of these things, the only thing that would take this level of stok-ed-ness higher would be an ion-based tablet netbook!!! i'm waiting for one to be developed like madness!!

this machine isn't a beast when it comes to processing power but who am i kidding, my daily activities don't require that much processing power anyways! what amazes me is it's ability to handle HD and it's damn compact size!

Vista is a putoff for me.

This does look very impressive, but the price if the main point here, when they release it.

WTF it's so small I'd lose it... or step on it... or my big computer woud laugh at it xD

Still, pretty impressive specs for something so tiny and helpless looking.

i don't plan on using vista; i'll either use windows 7 or ubuntu

Yeah, they'd be silly not to Windows 7 this.

Vista is a putoff for me.

Then dont buy any computer in a few years
