  • Low price
  • Plenty of room
  • We tested the cheapest £150 version of the Acer Aspire Revo with 1GB of RAM

The editors didn't like

  • USB sockets too close together
  • Only good for surfing the Internet and playing low rent games
  • Slow performance on Windows
  • Vista sluggish. Noisy. Terrible stand
  • CPU performance
  • Plexiglas base
  • Limited gaming
  • No optical drive
  • No DVI port
  • 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...
  • Unstable plastic stand
  • No IR receiver
  • Small hard drive
  • Wired mouse and keyboard

  • Relatively strong graphics performance; cool exterior design
  • Small hard drive; wired mouse and keyboard
  • The Acer AspireRevo R3600 is the most versatile nettop we've tested to date. Aided by its Nvidia ION chipset, it's capable of playing games and running 1080p movies. Ultimately, it's very good value for anyone that requires a cheap second PC ...

  • 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...

  • Abstract:  If you want a low cost desktop, then the ‘nettop’ makes a lot of sense. By using Nvidia’s Ion technology, this Acer represents the first genuinely desirable nettop, thanks to an HD-capable graphics chip. ...

  • Funky design, Affordable, VESA mounting kit, Poor gaming performance
  • Unstable plastic stand, No IR receiver
  • nVidia's ION platform delivers handsomely and Acer has responded in kind with the Revo. It ticks all the right boxes where nettops are concerned, while ION gives it a definitive edge over competing offerings. Only the use of Vista really holds it back, bu...

  • Abstract:  The Revo is a diamond-shaped box about the size of a hardback book, and is designed to sit upright on a clear plastic stand that you clip to its base. It could equally lie on its side on a shelf or even attach to the back of your monitor using a VES...
