Manufacturer's Description
The desktop PC is being redefined this year with the Acer AspireRevo, a compact, quiet, sleek 'anywhere' PC designed for the home. Optimised for the living room, office, or kitchen, AspireRevo delivers full HD video capabilities, offering stutter free 1080p playback, mainstream 3D gaming and performance for typical desktop applications. All of this is made possible by the incredible graphics processing performance of nVIDIA ION coupled with a low-power Intel Atom processor. Multiple connectivity options allow for an extreme gaming performance.

Customer Reviews
Crippled by McFee
Dump the pre-loaded McFee and it will be transformed. I nearly returned it because it was so slow, but after uninstalling McFee and some of the other junkware that comes preinstalled it is great. It runs Vista just fine and no complaints about responsiveness. What a fantastic little unit - good looking, unobtrusive and a fine addition to my five-machine home network. I replaced a Popcorn Hour with it because I was tired of the hassle of having to be a geek to get anything to work. Now I have another full Vista (upgraded to windows 7) machine on the network that I can remote desktop manage like all the other (expensive!) high performance machines. Love it, buy one.
Cracking machine for cheap HD playback
I bought one of these to sit in the bedroom as a media playback machine. Running Ubuntu and Boxee it plays 720p and 1080p video perfectly. I watch BBC iPlayer on it full screen, full speed with no issue.
Only omission is bluetooth, but bluetooth dongles are super cheap, so that's not a major issue.
Very compact and silent PC
I got this for my mum and have installed Windows 7 on it as is much better than the Vista OS supplied. All drivers are found but you will have to download the latest ION drivers from NVidia.
Overall this unit is very small, sleek and silent. But underpowered. The 1.6Ghz Atom processor really strains under everyday computing conditions, its 'ok' for Word 2007 and Internet Explorer 8, just dont expect too much performance (gaming) and you wont be upset.
I'm thinking about getting one of these to use as a media player as it has a HDMI port, perfect for plugging into my hdtv for divx and BBC iPlayer duties.
