DESCRIPTION: Many home theater PC (HTPC) enthusiasts dream of a system that is as slim as other consumer electronic devices such as a dedicated Blu-ray player. It is also an expensive and difficult proposition for most; thus, when Acer introduced its newest Revo 100, many took notice. Not only is the Revo 100 only one inch high, it also has a unique slide-out keyboard/touchpad clearly designed as an input device for the ten-foot experience. With a sub-$600 retail price, the Aver Revo 100 which packs an AMD K325 CPU and NVIDIA ION GPU certainly deserves a closer look.
While the netbook form factor may be on the decline the hardware inside has other uses, for example it is easy to build a feature packed compact system for general computing and media use. That is something Acer has tried to achieve, in a stylish and somewhat unique way with the Revo mini PC. Today we have an Acer Revo on our test bench to find out what it can offer to set itself apart from other compact systems.
So earlier on XSReviews we took a look at the Acer Aspire S7, an 11.6″ or 13″ Ultrabook with a super svelte design and powerful hardware but dogged with persistently poor battery life. Today, we’re taking a look at what Acer is doing at a more affordable range of the spectrum with the Acer Aspire V5-571P. There are a few different configurations available here, but we’ll be taking a look at the model equipped with a Core i5 processor, a 500 GB mechanical hard drive, 6 GB of RAM and a touch screen. That puts it on the upper end of configurations available, but reflections upon other aspect should be shared between models.
We take our first look at an Acer notebook in the form of the touchscreen Acer Aspire S7-191, an 11-inch premium Ultrabook.
The desktop PC market isn't dead, it has just moved to different types of machines for the most part. The desktop computer of today is often literally a desktop. With the all-in-one machines like the Acer Aspire AZ5700-U2112 I am looking at today, all of the hardware for the PC is inside the screen.
Acer were founded in 1976 and are highly regarded within the industry as a key player. They are best known now for their line of desktop and laptop computers while also offering equipment such as displays, servers and storage solutions.
Today we’re going to look at the Acer Aspire 8930G, an 18.4 inch desktop replacement which goes to market under the £1000 mark.
In our daily life we all keep hearing terms like “230V AC power plug”, “AC to DC power supply” and “1.5V DC battery”; however only very few people know and even actually understand the difference between AC and DC current. Through a search engine it is very easy to find that AC stands for “Alternating Current” and DC stands for “Direct Current”, yet understanding their actual differences can prove to be quite the task.
As a first for AC Ryan the Veolo uses Android 2.2 (Froyo) as the OS, bringing an enhanced experience for apps on a TV, including casual games and social media and we have one on our test bench today to find out if the Veolo lives up to the high standards of previous AC Ryan models.
AC Ryan have been at the forefront of easy to use, compact media streaming devices in 2011 and today we are looking at their latest VEOLO Android Media Streamer. This product is a ‘smart android hub’ which is sold as a complete entertainment experience. AC Ryan also promise a low power draw, so it could be an economical solution to reduce your energy footprint.
