PRODUCT REVIEWS
| “Despite its tiny, Atomic roots, this could become the centre of one hell of a mighty little machine. It's got tons of potential to be an ultra low power, very quiet Media Centre motherboard or network storage product….” |

| "What do I think of the world's first mini-ITX Atom Ion motherboard? I like it. Zotac did a good job of delivering pretty much everything I'd want in a board like this, going even further than expectations and offering a solution with an external power brick. Blu-ray playback or 3D gaming are its real performance strengths... The Ion worked as a real HTPC doing real duty. I was impressed." |

| "I'd use the IONITX-A in a heartbeat. It's easily the best Atom-based motherboard around and thus TR Recommended. " |
| -The Tech Report |
| "If you are looking for the lowest power consumption solution for your home theater PC it's going to be nearly impossible to best this option." |
| -PC Perspective |
| "The IONITX-A's dual core Atom processor and other specs also make it an excellent potential candidate for low-power silent PC or small form factor Home Theater system." |
