Acer Aspire Revo / Intel Atom N230 1.6GHz / 2GB / 160GB / 3D Game Controller / Vista Home Premium / Nettop Desktop PC (92.G1EYZ.UFG)

WOW, chuffed we dived in & bought this power-miserly little gem, wife was harassing me for a newer faster (bionic) PC to replace her clunky old Vaio, ..now our daughters pc.
If like me, you want a fair lick of speed for general tasking on a pc, but basically web browsing & basic applications, this is an obvious choice.
It's super-low power consumption (around 25-35 watts as I recall) means that we have nailed down our overall power consumption compared to a large (& unnecessary) tower pc.
Ok, so you have to add on (maybe) a portable disc writer or "whatever" however since owning this we haven't as so much is downloadable online these days.
So far windows 7 has been a charm to use, with no compatability problems when using other house pc's with vista or xp...

I love the fact that this is so nigh on portable, as someone who is intent on scooping the various household pc's into one media room the ability to buy a small cheap wall mount (vesa fitting) & wall mount it is great for minimising clutter, as is the ability to pop it onto an existing screens vesa fittings & pretty much hide it.
Lay out is simple, big lit power switch that requires only a light press to start it up, loads of usb's for peripherals.
Good size hdd for media useage.
This is saving me a good few units of electricity per day, which is of utmost importance bearing in mind the way energy prices spike at any given time!
perfect little pc, highly recommended (never tried acer before, having stuck to primo brands), glad we tried this as it's silent, small & efficient.
