expensive. :O]]>Oct 19th 2009 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/
I would have considered this as a HTPC otherwise]]>Oct 19th 2009 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/Oct 19th 2009 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/Oct 19th 2009 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/
Spend half the money now and put the rest in an envelope and tape it to the case.

Spend the other half for upgrades as needed.]]>Oct 19th 2009 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/

Either that or a Revo with a cheap external drive. In either case, the Onkyo is grossly overpriced.

If it had a dual core Atom 330 AND a BD instead of DVD, it might be worth considering, because it's certainly WAY prettier than the ASRock, but not THAT much more pretty. :)]]>Oct 19th 2009 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/
OR a PS3 Slim, an Xbox 360 AND an Acer ION based Nettop with the same features!

WTF are they smoking? There is no way this MSRP is correct.]]>Oct 19th 2009 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/Oct 19th 2009 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/Oct 19th 2009 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/
"that doesn't look like a standard form-factor to us"

I'm sure if you open the optical enclosure it's just a laptop style optical drive which you can swap out for a BD drive if you want.]]>Oct 19th 2009 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/Oct 19th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/I may be wrong but I'm ready to bet that this thing is aimed squarely at the HIFI/home media market, probably as an add on to Onkyo home theater in a box, which is the only one of its kind that may be worth to buy.

I also the get the impression electronics in Japan are a little bit pricier than the US. ]]>Oct 19th 2009 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/Oct 19th 2009 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/Oct 19th 2009 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/
Oh and it's cheaper too, and uses the dual core Atom 330.]]>Oct 19th 2009 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/Oct 19th 2009 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/Running Windows 7 with VLC installed. First thing we tried was Youtube - ran several videos in normal and 'HD' mode, windowed and full screen. Ran quite nicely, not perfect in full screen but far better than I would have thought. Then we ran a XVID encoded movie and a ISO of another movie. The only time there were hiccups was in Full screen when the overlay would come up.
Impressed me by a lot. I think I'll go with an ION myself, but I think I could be satisfied with a plain vanilla Atom 330 system.]]>Oct 19th 2009 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/
Heck, I've even played L4D on my ASRock, in 720p mode on my 46" Sammy. Given the low margins on the components, it's pretty tough to build your own for cheaper than a pre-built ION 330 (or Revo), though you DO have more flexibility in a DIY situation.]]>Oct 19th 2009 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/Oct 19th 2009 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/Oct 19th 2009 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/Oct 19th 2009 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/onkyos-tiny-ion-based-p3-nettop-has-an-even-tinier-removable-dv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/28/gpu-accelerated-720p-flash-video-gets-demoed-on-a-netbook-smoot/]]>Oct 19th 2009 8:53PM
