Acer Revo

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.

Revo features

  • Atom processor N230.
  • Chipset Nvidia Ion.
  • Memory 2GB upgradeable to 4GB.
  • Connectors: VGA, HDMI, eSata, 4 USB.
  • 8 GB SSD or 160 GB HDD.
  • Blu-Ray.

Prices

The graphics capabilities of the computer are sufficient to run Vista and Seven.

Prices currently charged in the U.S.:

  • Basic version with Linux SSD 8 GB, 1 GB of memory: US$ 179.
  • Vista version with HDD 160 GB, 2 GB of memory, a 3D joystick: US$ 329.

The most expensive comes with 10 games playable with a 3D joystick,
for example: Sonic Heroes, The House of the Dead 3, Midnight Club 2,
Heavy Weapon Deluxe, Crystalizer 2, Crazy Taxi III Crashday and Balance.
