As Matt said in his unboxing, the Acer Aspire Revo is an ultra small form factor PC. It's a combination of the Intel N230 CPU and the NVidia 9400M GPU, offering high video performance in this small package. You can see Matt's unboxing here.So let's s...
I have to say that when Matt asked me to review this I was intrigued to see what the 'new' wave of Intel processors combined with the new graphics chip would be capable of. The graphics chip did indeed deliver on it's promise of 1080p performa...

Adding to its impressive range of products, Acer has developed the Aspire Revo product which is based on the Intel Atom CPU 230 running at 1.60GHz. As a netbook is a king of notebook sub-species, so the Revo could be regarded as a sub-species of your...

The Acer Aspire Revo is a "nettop" - a tiny, low powered desktop with 1 or 2GB of RAM and a 160GB HDD, plus Wi-Fi and ethernet web connectivity. Although it's powered by a lowly 1.6GHz Atom processor, NVIDIA's Ion chipset and a HDMI port means it'll pl...
We tested the cheapest £150 version of the Acer Aspire Revo with 1GB of RAM, and even it was more than up to the task of chucking out video: hook it up with your media centre software of choice and a wireless keyboard and you can kiss goodbye to your...
There's no optical drive so if you want to play DVDs or Blu-rays you'll have to pony up for an external one to plug in, and despite the myriad of ports shoved in every side (6 USB slots, no less), there's no DVI, so for modern monitors...
Any problems with the Acer Aspire Revo come down to the Atom chip tucked away inside. It's measly at most things. But it's also what brings the cost down, and when it still handles video so well, you've got a bargain that David Dickinson would...

From the Asus Eee 701 to the Samsung NC10, via the Eee Box and the MSI Wind Top, weve seen enough netbooks, nettops and touch screen all-in-ones powered by the tiny Intel Atom processor over the last 18 months to know its capabilities inside out. Perf...

The Aspire Revo is Acer’s take on Nvidia’s Ion platform so that’s a good place to start with this review. Acers Aspire Revo: Atom and Ion on board Ion started life as the GeForce 9300, which is a chipset that connects Intels Core 2 processors to dece...
Nvidia’s Ion platform makes perfect sense here, but Atom, at least the single-core version, has no obvious place in a mains-powered nettop PC. Still, the Revo is cheaper and sexier than its nearest rival, Asus HDMI-equipped Eee Box B206. Still too p...

Cool design; small footprint; handles many video formats; quiet.
