1012 is ion based. r3600 was pretty much the first ion base announced. not any better, but similar spec.

I didn't read the specs on the one you originally posted... didn't know there was a newer version Eee Box that uses Ion.

I would think it will ASUS take a little longer to get here.
r3600 has the game accessories like wii or something like that.  | |

had a rough start last night. i opened up the box for the revo and there was only hardware inside... no install manual or literature, cd's, etc... i went ahead and set it up as best as i could, but some of the automated install tells me to "refer to owner's manual" or to "install cd". i know the revo dosen't come with an optical drive, but... i guess i have to call NCIx today, but i'm not sure if they will help me. a friend said that they will probably just tell me to call acer and deal with it myself  | |

no it's meant for my mom so i didn't get much seat time with it. i'll see her this weekend so i'll have some more time to figure it out. but right now i'm having more trouble with router issues at the moment... i don't know why it's so slow
also there is a sh*tload of useless software they throw into the computer that i have to clean out. and the last time i used windows vista was a few years back when IT installed it at work, and then removed it a few days later when most of our apps started crashing... i'm hoping not for a repeat of that  | |

nope. i printed out that page before buying it last week and it was $10 less.
i went back to ncix yesterday and they told me they couldn't help me with the missing manuals and told me to find it myself online, and acer does not include any install cd's (eg. windows) so i better back up or hope/pray it dosen't die on me. they also told me to download the latest firmware for the router and now it's even slower than before  | |
