my favourite Acer Aspire REVO R3600

Advantages: good price, HDMI port
Disadvantages: Low on RAM and processing power for a Vita PC, extremely wobbly stand and no optical drive

...first ION powered nettop, the Acer Aspire Revo. Acer has clearly put a lot of thought into the Revo. This is evident from the rather fetching and intelligently designed chassis. Finished in glossy blue and white, its angular lines and sandcrawler-like shape lends the Revo a funky but not overly ostentatious appearance that's very fitting. Little touches, like the smart corner mounted power button, only add to the overwhelmingly positive impression. ...
...of what we mean. Thankfully, Acer also provides a VESA mounting kit with all Revos, so you can attach the unit to the back of a TV or monitor. Given it measures just 180mm square and weighs just 750 grams, the Revo is ideally suited to such a situation. Moreover, as you can see from the diagram below, the connections are arranged in such a way to enhance this configuration. Speaking of which, there's no shortage of options on the Revo. Starting at ...

A little gem, and quite a good specification for the price

Advantages: All in one form factor, easy connectivity, 'proper' keyboard and mouse
Disadvantages: No Wi Fi and restricted USB ports

...system altogether. Dell have every chance of having a winner on their hands though. There is possibly *one* reason why all-in-one systems haven’t caught on; whereas a mainstream desktop unit can be made of industry standard components (many of which can be supplied from a variety of sources) an all in one has to take the same design approach as a notebook; custom fabrication of the main parts, and have virtually no upgrade path without a complete ...
...be (unkindly) suggested that the Dell Inspiron One is a system for people who don’t like PCs. The base model system comes with a 2.2GHz/800MHz Intel Celeron 450 processor with 512k of cache, Windows 7 Home Premium, 3Gb of 800MHz DDR2 memory, a 320Gb SATA hard drive, Intel GMA x4500 graphics, an 18.5” widescreen, a wired keyboard and mouse, 16x DVD R/W drive, an internal webcam, built in speakers, and a reasonable software bundle. All for £399 plus ...

Strange kettle of fish but an ideal second PC

Advantages: Minute, basic PC functionallity
Disadvantages: Limited performance especially in BBC iPlayer

The Acer Revo R3600 is a slightly odd kettle of fish and in some ways is a solution looking for a problem! The original desktop PC configuration; Base unit, wired keyboard and mouse, and a monitor hasn’t changed much in 25 years – unless you count putting the base unit on it’s side! A number of notable exceptions have been to create the ‘all in one PC’ which unite the processor and display – most notably the original iMac in the 1990s – Sony dabbled ...
...you may already have. Acer have responded to this by taking a sideways look and coming up with the ‘nettop’ PC. In terms of hardware, it owes rather more to the currently very trendy ultra-portable ‘mini PC’s known as ‘netbooks’ – except this one does away with the built in keyboard mouse and screen. Why? – good question! Well; the reason is often staring you in the face every day in the living room! The astonishingly quick adoption of relatively ...

HP Compaq DC7600 - The Business Machine

Advantages: Small, Professional, Covers Basic Needs
Disadvantages: Anything more then Basic Needs and it Starts to Struggle

Hp Compaq dc7600 Introduction I do not like these machines. My work has decided to purchase them and everyday between the hours of 10.30 and 7.00 I am surrounded by the menacing humming of tiny hamster churning the cogs within these towers. Now maybe my dislike could quite possible be unjust, maybe the fact that I’ve associated it with work could lead to prejudice, I can accept that. There are good points and there are bad points ...
...is that they are made for businesses, I shall explain this further into my review. Specs Depending on the machine you buy your specs can range from nothing to anything. I’m going to base this review of the version I have, all the options are store defaults supplied directly from HP. * Intel Pentium Processor 3GHz * 1Gb Ram * 128Mb Intel Express Graphics Card * 65Gb Hard Drive * DVD-ROM Drive * 6 USB ports (2 front, 4 back) Looking ...
