Acer Aspire Revo R3600L

By Adam (reevoo.com) Read the full review

Good, solid, light, cheap, slow (but fast enough for one app at a time) and using a form of Linux with access to open source software and hence a vast library of free/extremely cheap software (and no annual bill of licences costing more than the box -...

As above, slow but adequate for single app use (excluding heavy duty stuff)

my favourite Acer Aspire REVO R3600

By lubangbisnis (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

Nettops haven't seen the same level of publicity heaped upon netbooks. This is largely due to the fact that, when stripped down, most nettops literally are netbooks in disguise. Only dual-core Atom processors have really provided any meaningful...

good price, HDMI port

Low on RAM and processing power for a Vita PC, extremely wobbly stand and no optical drive

Acer AspireRevo R3600 review

By Rory Reid (cnet.co.uk)

The Acer AspireRevo R3600 is the most versatile nettop we've tested to date. Aided by its Nvidia ION chipset, it's capable of playing games and running 1080p movies. Ultimately, it's very good value for anyone that requires a cheap second PC

Relatively strong graphics performance ; Cool exterior design

Small hard drive ; Wired mouse and keyboard

The R3600 ships with a wired USB optical mouse and keyboard. The mouse is adequate, but the keyboard has a very toy-like feel to it. It's not all bad news though. Although there's slightly too much travel in the keys, the keyboard's not particularly...

Interestingly, some versions of the R3600 ship with a Wii Remote-style, motion-sensing controller, although our review sample didn't include this

Acer Aspire Revo R3600 review

By (expertreviews.co.uk)

Award: Best Buy!

The Revo is a diamond-shaped box about the size of a hardback book, and is designed to sit upright on a clear plastic stand that you clip to its base.

Small and quiet, the Revo will play HD video and has WiFi, eSATA and a card reader. If you don't need peripherals, it's great value.

The Revo is the first low cost PC that couples Intel's Atom with NVIDIA GeForce talents. Is it more than the sum of its parts?

Almost a brilliant cheap and powerful media box, but a bit too loud to love

Acer Aspire Revo R3600 - nVidia ION Nettop

By Andy Vandervell (trustedreviews.com)

Award: Recommended!

Acer's Aspire Revo delivers HD video decoding courtesy of nVidia's ION platform. Is it a match made in heaven?

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,...

Acer Aspire Revo R3600 review

By Andrew Harrison (pcadvisor.co.uk)

Acer has taken nVidia's new Ion platform to create the Aspire Revo, a small cheap computer that can actually play games and high-definition video. Question is, how well?

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 careful...

We found a great solution in CyberLink PowerDVD 9, so be prepared to add the cost of this to the Revo if you need smooth and stress-free video playback.

Acer Aspire Revo : Acer Aspire Revo r3600

By mfereday (gadgetspeak.com)

Not everybody needs a full featured notebook and so the netbook was developed. In the same way not everybody needs a high end desktop computer.

Adding to its impressive range of products, Acer has developed the Aspire Revo product which is based on the Intel Atom CPU 230 running at 1.60GHz. As a netbook is a king of notebook sub-species, so the Revo could be regarded as a sub-species of your...

In other words the Aspire Revo falls into the category as a small, low powered desktop unit known as a Nettop.
