The system can also boast a slot-in DVD-RAM or DVD-RW drive, and has a 6-in-1 card reader, D-Sub and HDMI outputs, Gigabit Ethernet, 5,1 channel audio, and an eSATA port.

The XC Mini GP7A-HD is expected to become available, at least in Japan, as of around mid-December.

It can't be an ION if it's got a geforce 9300. Still an awesome system though. Also, the gf 9300 is more than enough for full 1080p.

Yes,

But why not get an ION? This thing is too pricey.

The main problem is that mobile core2duo cpus are very expensive, we are talking 2-300 US$ just for cpu here...
