both are nice looking units, but not sure which set to go with.
your opinion will help.

thanks

The Dell Zino is better. Blu Ray drive + HD5450 for HD audio support (Atm, using DS Player, soon with the new Audio Engine branch). The ION is outdated. If you want 3D Blu Ray support, then something with an Nvidia GT430 or HD6xxx series card.
Just avoid Intel HD Graphics, XBMC has issues with them.

The Zino is better for Windows 7 and the need for Netflix.
