According to the blogger
Yersys, this is the first Asus nettop to use the Ion (GeForce 9400M) platform. The specifications seem very complete to me. Is anyone missing something?
I think I'll be very interested to see it reviewed here. What do you think Mike?

Wow.
Could be a very competant little machine for use as a media pc.
Just add a USB TV tuner or two and a USB media centre keyboard and remote and bobs your uncle.
Great that it supports HD video with such a small form factor.
Wonder what the prices are like?
Phil

Glad you're interested too.
This source says the price is ~€289 for units sold in Hong Kong. Not sure if that's the RRP or street price.

Would definitely be interested in its acoustics if anyone gives on a try.

I am starting to get very interested in these little ION boxes now that Nvidia and Adobe have found a solution for GPU acceleration for streaming flash video. These are soon going to be the perfect little HTPC/Hulu boxes. Put a USB TV tuner and you are set for about $300.
