New concept in the field of semi-portable desktop computer, the Revo (like revolution) from Acer offers good graphics capabilities for minimal configuration and
footprint.
Designed on the basis of the modest Intel Atom N230 and the powerful
graphics card from Nvidia Geforce 9400M, the Revo seems to be dedicated
to graphics for which it offers the HD 1080, a processing speed
acceptable for most games and as bonus a 3D controller similar to Nintendo’s
Wiimote. HDMI lets you connect to a TV or monitor, and thus turns it in fact into a
kind of console game.
