Torn between two machines
#1
Hey all....looking to buy a machine for mostly XBMC usage, but also some light browsing, unrar'ing, etc. Not much if any netflix streaming.

I'm torn between these two machines

The first is the Acer AX3910-U4022. Intel Pentium dual-core E5800 3.20GHz, 1TB HDD with Integrated Intel GMA X4500HD Graphics.

The second is the Acer AspireRevo AR3700-U3002 which I'm sure most are familiar with. ( Intel Atom D525 1.8GHZ, Integrated NVIDIA ION Graphics)

The AcerAX3910 is only about 60 bucks more and offers a 1TB drive and 4 Gigs of memory, while the AR3700 has only 250 gigs HDD, 2 gigs of memory.

I'm just not sure which machine will offer the better performance (CPU and Video). Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

Acer AX3910-U4022 hands down,,,
but at that price, you could obviously build you own custom HTPC,
if your into building it yourself!!

see this amazing build for reference --> http://ow.ly/1sUsyz
for $384, thats a strong HTPC!!

So the onboard video for the 3910 is pretty decent? I've hear so many good things about the Nvidia ION, so I wasn't sure how the X4500HD would stack up.

Thanks for the input.

its Pentium dual-core E5800 alone is enough to play 1080P
