Acer Aspire Revo R3610 / Intel Atom Dual Core 330 1.6GHz / 4GB / 500GB / Windows 7 Home Premium / Nettop Desktop PC (92.NVFYZ.U2N)

This PC is ace does everything I need it to do, Its so small Ive just got to be carefull I dont mistake it for a coaster.

I bought this PC for use in a bedroom, connected to a Samsung 37" LCD 100 Hz TV via HDMI. Setup was very easy as described elsewhere. The PC was intended for streaming and downloading TV, browsing the the internet and e-mail (my wife's account).
I immediately had a problem with the PC when streaming programmes from BBC iPlayer using Internet Explorer. The video would freeze after about 5 min in full screen mode. Investigation revealed this is a known fault with iPlayer associated with PC's with limited graphics capability. At the same time the diagnostics told me there was a memory overuse problem with the RAM devoted to graphics.
I solved the problem by simplifying the graphics, and amending the performance parameters to reduce the demand on the processor, and using Google Chrome (which I was advised was a quicker application.) Upshot is, the graphics capablility appear to fall far short of the claims made by the manufacturer, who indicate it will handle HD etc.
The PC runs reliably and now does all I want it to. I'm not sure it would stream HD programmes from iPlayer, but as it's on a wireless access point to our network, I doubt there is enough bandwidth to stream HD so I think the point is academic.

Bought this on the friday and came on the tuesday.

First Impressions
The sher size of the machine is jaw dropping as it is currently standing behind my monitor so for space wise, it is brilliant. It came with a screen mount but after installing it i found that it is not the best and if you move the screen it has the potential to fall off. So it is stood on the white 'v' shaped base. The amount of USB's is more than enough and for me it is well worth its money.

Uses
I currently use this for my homework and general surfing the web, and so far it is more than capable in doing this. Like most reviews have stated, the dongle for the mouse is inside the battery compartment!

Con's
To be honest not many at the minute. The screen mount is probably my only let down. The processor can sumtimes take its time when multi-tasking jobs but not enough to call it a problem.

Overall 9/10 - Improve the Screen mount as it doesn't hold the revo like it should!

I've had my Revo for about 8 weeks. It's set up with a 26'' LCD TV in my bedroom, and it's fantastic!! Very easy to use, I found it really easy to set up (uninstalling/installing software etc) and it was fixed to the TV and online in about 30 minutes. It's very quiet and picks up a good signal from my router which is two floors down from it. We stream programmes and films via the internet all the time, it's fantastic up to 720p but is jerky playing back 1080p however I'm not fussed, 720 is plenty good enough for me! Love the design, keyboard and mouse work well and the space saving design is perfect. With the addition of a cheap USB disc drive my computer/office/TV/DVD player set up is complete. Overall great value for money!!

So I sold my old computer which was a bit of a beast, very fast, but very space consuming, so after selling this I wanted a downgraded, much smaller computer. I found this, but everyone slated the intel atom processor, saying it was slow etc. I disagree, it is slow, only if you are running graphics intense software. It is great for everyday use, for web browsing, word processing, listening to music, and watching films, all perform great. The mouse and keyboard are a bit taccy, but what I saved on the price, went towards the new deskset. It's also extremely quiet which is nice. Only downfall is no dvd/cd drive, but oh well, plenty of USB ports for an external, but then thought, how often do I use one? A great little (excuse the pun) computer, for every day use, with a sleek, stylish design.
