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.

Advantages: good graphics, HDMI, energy saving, compact design Disadvantages: slow processor

Advantages: Small and smart, HDMI port, GPU chip, 160GB HDD, handles HD media output and has an eSATA port Disadvantages: Low on RAM and processing power for a Vita PC, extremely wobbly stand and no optical drive
Have Acer started down the better path with the Acer Aspire REVO R3600? Well that may just be exactly what they have done. Its good looking fast has a big hard drive, a GPU and runs VISTA rather than XP.
The good stuff.
The Acer REVO is another one of these net top PC’s albeit a little different.
First off it can handle allot more than just net browsing and word-processing, which is all its pre-deceases could handle. This is due to its Nvidia ... ...into the media world,
The Acer REVO can handle HD media without any major hiccups and also comes with a HDMI port for instant connection to your living room HDTV making it one of the first net top media PC’s, and this along with its very sexy dark blue side panels on white main body make for an elegant living room PC. It also has a VESA mount allowing you to mount it to the back of most standard monitors meaning that you can save on space in your ...
