Yet again, the rumors were (almost) true. A day earlier than anticipated, Acer is launching what amounts to NVIDIA's first Ion-based nettop beyond those on display at CES and the like.
The AspireRevo is debuting today alongside a plethora of other Acer
wares, boasting a 1.6GHz Intel Atom 230 processor, up to 4GB of RAM, up
to 250GB of HDD space, a 4-in-1 card reader, HDMI / VGA outputs,
gigabit Ethernet, six USB 2.0 sockets, audio in / out, Windows Vista
Home Premium / Basic and a svelte black and white enclosure that
measures just 7.1- x 7.1- x 1.2-inches. The built-in Ion GPU means that
this bugger is completely capable of handling 1080p (and thus, Blu-ray)
content, DirectX 10 and even mildly demanding games such as Call of Duty 4 and Spore.
Acer's staying mum on a price and release date, but we're still hearing
that the late Q2 time frame is a safe bet. Check the full release just
past the break.
