Acer's Ion-based Hornet nettop leaked in presentation slides?

Thu, Feb 26th, 2009

Despite NVIDIA's claims that we'd have an Ion desktop sometime this Spring, we still haven't really seen it in consumer-bound hardware -- until now, that is. Although unconfirmed, slides have purportedly leaked out of what is said to be the Acer Hornet Ion-based nettop. Aside from the platform and a HDMI output, we don't have any specs for the machine. What we do know is that it's sporting a Wii-inspired wireless game controller / air mouse, and can apparently hang from the back of LCD TVs. The leaked images also tout its eco-friendly design, small form factor, "silent operation," and a price tag of only a couple hundred dollars. Elaborate Photoshop or impending PC? While we sit here and impatiently wait for some official word, hit up the read link for more pics.
