The most popular Nvidia Ion powered nettop on the market by far is the Acer Aspire Revo. In fact, I was go as far as saying the Aspire Revo is the most popular Ion powered device currently available.
The Aspire Revo is currently only available with a single core Intel Atom CPU. There have been rumors about a highly anticipated Dual core Aspire Revo for some time now, but it has yet to show it’s face, until now that is (kind of!).
The Gateway QX2800 is essentially a re-badged Acer Aspire Revo, with the Dual Core Atom 330 and a larger 500GB hard drive!
The Nvidia Ion 9400M graphics are still the same, as is the 802.11b/g/n WiFi, multi-card-reader, 6x USB 2.0 and HDMI output.
Reports are saying that the dual core processor in the Gateway QX2800 could give it a 40% performance boost over the Acer AspireRevo.
This is the second AspireRevo we have seen, the first being the Packard Bell iMax Mini, but that still uses the same single core CPU.
The Gateway QX2800 will ship with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. Via iTechNews.
