Acer Aspire Revo R3600

Lilith31 August 2009

I am desperate to get hold of the Logitech mouse that is supplied with the Revo. Any ideas where i can get it?

Why did you not have the Mac Mini in the line up when the 'Nettops' were reviewed! The Mac Mini would beat all of the 3 nettops reviewed. I think Apple computers get left out when it comes to show reviews. Or maybe that's because any Mac computer would beat any Windows machine of the same spec!!!

Matt Barber01 September 2009

Maybe thats because all Apple products are way more expensive than PC's of the same spec. We can get round the windows problem....install linux and and then you get Mac performance with PC price!

I'm using the Acer Aspire Revo as a Media Centre box, if you want to get the best out of this thing, ditch Vista and install Ubuntu & XBMC on it. This thing will then play anything your throw at it, including BBCi player, MKV's / AVI / DivX / YouTube etc etc. Also one thing Jon forgot to mention about the Revo is that it comes with a Vesa mount for fixing to the back of your TV's, very handy. And of course with Ubuntu installed you can still do your Word / Excell documents with OpenOffice. ps, Jon let us know if you want a proper demo of what this thing will do after dumping Vista :)

Its very good value for money as for a normal laptop you are looking at about £299-£399 with the same memory and this is alot smaller to its easier to carry around and its a proper computer. Im now going to save up for one starting now!

Hazwaz03 September 2009

the wireless keyboard and logitech mouse is supplied with the product, if yours didn't contact the company you bought it from. or ofcourse, there's probably one on ebay

Suggest waiting to buy the Revo model that comes with dual core atom processer and windows 7. But to be honest I think it really needs an integrated optical drive. Also think it is overpriced...compared to netbook (you get better graphics, but no screen, no webcam, no keyboard) I look forward to a Revo with 3GB, dual core Win7 with optical drive at around £250..I'd buy 3!

michael low06 September 2009

i was very interested in this product but was wondering where the £150 figure was quoted from

KeithTech07 September 2009

@Jerry, this thing has a Vesa mount for fixing to the back of your TV, having an integrated DVD would be pointless, also an external USB DVD drive costs peanuts. Bought a slimline DVD player for this, works really well as all you see is a slimline DVD player, the box is out of sight behind the TV. @Michael, I believe the £150 was for the 8 Gig SSD Linux version, that appears next to impossible to get hold of now.

If you want to add an optical drive, and still have your system running quiet. Then why not invest in Network Attached Storage with an optical drive attached. This will give you a hard drive that all PCs can attach to. Also you wont need to keep a PC switched on to act as a server.

i want that nettop

John Watts09 October 2009

I want to buy this for my son, who will use it to play Roblox on the internet. Does anyone know if it will work? Will it also play standard def you tube videos? Thanks, John

I'm looking for a 4GB RAM Model but can't find a store that sell one - the only option thus far - a used model on Ebay. If anyone knows of a store that does this option pleasse let me/us know. Anyway, re the iPlayer stutter mentioned in the piece above, I read that if you upgrade the OS to Windows 7 (a must do IMHO) then the stutter goes away and Flash works fine. Another way to get these video formats working is to remove the pre installed McAfee AV software - the 'real' reason upgrading to Win 7 does the trick ;o) Cheers, N

I just got a 3610 today - the dual core version - and it is immense! 64Bit Windows 7 Home Premium included. 2Gb Ram, 250Gb HDD... £250 with free delivery. Ace. Pretty speedy - I am quite surprised but I haven't given it anything really hard to do yet. Got it from SimplyAcer and they had the 4Gb version in stock too for £300. Hooked up to my TV via HDMI - so far so good.

Rick19 January 2010

I'm really interested in the Ubuntu Linux version, which is quite a bit cheaper but only with the single core Atom. Does anyone know if a dual core model is coming out with Linux instead of Win7?

Matt25 February 2010

£129.99 at Ebuyer with 1gb Ram 160GB hdd and Linpus as the installed OS, or the dual core version with 2gb Ram 250gb hdd and Linpus is £189.99 I've already downloaded XBMC ready to install when it arrives tomorrow. Not exactly fair to compare that to a Mac Mini as the cheapest one of those is £499, however the Mac Mini is very nice.

Martin28 February 2010

I just bought the new dual core Win7 Revo. I am a bit underwhelmed. BBC iPlayer for their HD channel outputs a very jerky image. The CPU shows 100%. Even VLP for standard definition video leaves a lot to be desired. Perhaps I need some better software. The demo that Jon showed looked so good. It is a pity as Acer products are usually so good.

Tony23 March 2010

Hi Acer make some terrific kit but in N.I. the service support is pants. They even refuse to repair hardware still under warranty even after sending proof of purchase twice. Give phoning there support lines a go.

Brian20 April 2010

I've just ordered one of these things to use when working from home. I need it for email, a little web surfing and word processing. Have I ordered the right thing? Or have I ordered the wrong thing?

Paul30 April 2010

Martin, Flash is probably the issue primarily. It is incredibly resource heavy. Just watch the battery life drop on a laptop whilst playing a Flash video. I'd recommend you get the latest NVidia drivers and install them. I'd also recommend downloading Flash 10.1 beta from Adobe because 10.1 on Windows supports hardware acceleration using the Ion platform in the Revo R3600 series. It should greatly improve performance, however the issue is Flash itself.

tam17 September 2010

they should put the disc drive into the keyboard that would be ace

JC27 February 2011

The Mac mini is £500, and although I agree that the mini is superior, these are all sub-£500.

JC27 February 2011

@KeithTech, the Acer only mounts onto Acer monitors

JC27 February 2011

@Tony, I agree that Acer service support is pants. I bought an Acer Aspire 5630 in 2005, then the touchpad button collapsed. This was a problem as I looked on the Internet and other people had experianced the same fault. Acer refused to help, that same Acer is sitting around the house not really doing anything. I then went on eBay and bought an iMac G3 (450MHz!!! Ruby red) and use that instead. It actually works with TenFourFox for web browsing but I hope to get a last rev eMac soon to replace it. If you want a budget machine now get an iMac G4 "iLamp" or an eMac. (Intel Macs are a bit too pricey!!!)

RocketRon09 May 2011

I want to watch live TV from the BBC website etc. Can anybody recommend a media centre that will connect to my TV to browse, watch on-line TV. Not worried about a remote control but would like to use a wireless keyboard and mouse to control and navigate. Thanks. Ron.
