Newegg.com - Jetway Ion Mini PC & 60GB SSD & $20 Visa Card for $339 after rebate
A bundle of a Jetway Book-size Mini-Top Dual-Core D525 Barebones PC and a OCZ Vertex 60GB Solid State Drive for $339. A $20 Visa Prepaid Card is also available by rebate from OCZ, but be aware the rebate must be postmarked within 21 days of purchase. Reviews seem decent.

Inside the mini-PC is an Intel Atom Dual-Core D525 CPU, Nvidia Ion 2 graphics card, Wifi support, 1 HDMI output (to 1080p), 1 DVI output, 1 eSATA/USB combo port, 1 S/PDIF optical audio output, memory card reader, and includes a media center remote control. Also includes a VESA Mount for installing on the back of an LCD monitor.

Note it does not appear to include a keyboard, mouse, and RAM. The "512MB DDR3" mentioned in Newegg's title refers to the memory on the Nvidia Ion 2 graphics card. You must purchase and install 1 or 2 SO-DIMM (laptop) DDR2 667 or 800 MHz memory modules. It does not include an operating system either, so you will be on your own to install an OS through a USB drive, a USB CD/DVD drive, or a memory card and install appropriate drivers. They provide an instruction video showing how to install memory and an SSD, as well as using the included VESA plate to mount the Jetway on the back of an LCD monitor. More product details can be seen on JetwayComputer.com.

The Jetway Mini-Top is a brand new product, with little reviews except the ones on Newegg. It looks really nice for someone with an LCD monitor who wants to hook up a computer for media and video watching.

Note it has a S/PDIF output, but according to the diagram on page 5 of their user manual, it's not a standard S/PDIF optical. The audio within the the HDMI seems like the best way to get audio from the Jetway. Since it includes a VESA mounting bracket, this device definitely seems best when used with a LCD HDTV with built-in speakers, or with a HDTV/Receiver combo which can separate the audio & video from the HDMI.

One minor flaw we anticipate however is the remote control which may be line of sight dependent, and possibly a problem if you mount the Jetway to the back side of the TV.

No other mini book-size PC seems to have both the Ion 2 graphics card and a Atom 525 or better processor. Some benchmarks were done with an Asus Eee Notebook with Ion 2 graphics and a slightly slower Atom N450 processor.
