My Acer Aspire Revo is about 2 years old and i'm looking to upgrade to something a lot better but I don't know what's out there and what's good. I'm looking for something that can handle win7 so i can do netflix and/or bluray.
is the next gen ion (GT218-ION) the best?
what about cpu? is the Atom still the choice?
Thank you!
Acer Aspire Revo replacement.

I suggest you start with eskro's htpc guide. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=94199.
First, you need to figure out your needs and build a system according to the group you belong to. Hope that helps. |

thanks. but I don't want to build though, I was hoping to buy a ready to go unit like my current Acer Aspire Revo.
If there isn't a good option I will have to think about building.... |

Yes, my bad. Just so accustomed to seeing builds here. There are many suggestions for off the shelf systems in the guide.

I've yet to find an identical, low power, small-footprint machine to replace my Revo 1600.

I'd like it to do 1080p (and powerful enough to handle the 10bit in the future), netflix, and/or bluray.
