Acer Veriton N260G nettop arrives, does not blow minds

Alright, we understand that Acer's new Veriton N260G Atom nettop is primarily aimed at businesses and comes with novel features like "OneButton Recovery" system restore and "eLock Management" for data security, but the pricing seems way out of line to us: the NVIDIA Ion-powered AspireRevo starts at $299, while the Veriton uses the far less powerful Intel GMA 4500MHD chip and costs $399. That's pretty much all we need to know, but if you're still interested there's more info at the read link.

Ya know these arent so bad. great to get older people who are incompetant with computers into the game. Only problem is now we get to read tweets from more elderly people...

I love how you put cigarettes and only cigarettes in the "Health" section. Fail?

(In case of engadget removing the comment I replied to, a spammer linked to a sales site.)

Ion is just 9400M right? It's not THAT powerful... I mean, the 4500MHD can still do HD video, so what's the difference? It's not like anyone seriously wants to play games on this thing.

I would be dead useful if it could use one power supply with the monitor.

[Blackflag486 Posted Aug 19th 2009 2:23AM]

Well... My mind was blown.. I mean.. It's ACER!??
