So price and size are smaller and power consumption is better. We're going to be working more on offering Ubuntu with Broadcom support out of the box but for now it is up to the customer. The Intel X25-V SSDs we are using are much faster than the Kingston 64GB SSDNow in the H1 and we'll probably standardize on this as Kingston keeps raising prices and does not have any stock in the UK (the biggest Kingston distributor currently has 1 in stock).

What are the advantages of the H1? The H1 has the SSD and more memory, but does the Ion chipset offer significant advantage over the 945GSE supplemented by the Broadcom hardware decoder? Is it able to play a wider variety of HD content? So, for a person considering either an fanless single-core H1 or a fanless T1 with a Broadcom chip, the advantage of the T1 is obvious – lower price.
