    Not trying to take away from your post, but there was some good comments in the last thread for this.

    As far as I can see, the diff between this and the Acer is the OS? Is that all?

    Hi, can anybody tell me which graphics chipset is better giving consideration that it needs to supported by either one of these nettops running Linux OS (Ubuntu) ?
    thanks. B.

    Ion is supposed to be very good for small factor graphics.

    So is this basically a Lenovo with Targa branding?

    From what i've read the ION is supposed to handle HD video brilliantly, but watching video on the internet not so much.

    TBH, today s the first ive really become aware of these machines, and i'm glad i have now. They'd make ideal HTPC.

    Can RAM be easily added to these machines?

    I think there is a 4gb RAM, dual core Acer Revo on the way?
