Still slow compared with desktop PCs. Occasional glitches. CUDA apps don’t help ATI or Intel GPU
Acer’s Aspire Revo is promising as a low-cost nettop, with better graphics performance than any conventional netbook, but it misses the mark as a quiet-running desktop companion that can comfortably play modern 3D games. You’ll also have to be...
We tested the cheapest £150 version of the Acer Aspire Revo with 1GB of RAM, and even it was more than up to the task of chucking out video: hook it up with your media centre software of choice and a wireless keyboard and you can kiss goodbye to your...
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...

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...
