Great HTPC with one noticeable flaw
I use this as my Home Theater PC. Between this and my antenna, I have no need for cable TV, which saves me about a month. As long as you make sure you are on Flash 10.1 (this is important!), this will play any video up to 1080p without issue. If you combine it with Boxee, you have a really great home theater PC.
I have one issue, and that is with the sound. Sometimes the sound just goes away and the only way I have found to get it back is to restart the machine. I thought it might be a Windows 7 issue, but I have a new desktop with Windows 7 and have not had any sound problems with it. Aside from that little quirk, this little machine is great. It definitely does a good job of saving me money on my cable bill.
Great companion for XBMC!
Bought the Acer AspireRevo to replace an old laptop as the media center in our living room. The laptop was never able to play anything beyond standard definition, so it needed to go since we bought a Full HD LCD TV. The Revo came with Windows 7 installed and after uninstalling the many useless bloatware that also came installed and installing XBMC, it was up and running playing HD content smoothly through the HDMI output. You just have to remember to download the nightly build of XBMC as, until today at least, the stable version does not use the Ion GPU (and thus is unable ty play HD content).
I just won't give it 5 stars because of the gigantic number of bloatware that came installed. Even now, every week my movies are interrupted by an annoying window asking to register Revo. I'm sure there is a way to uninstall whatever is showing this, just didn't get to that yet.
Just Lovin It
This little computer comes with a black cordless keyboard and mouse, not white. The hard drive is 250g. The computer works just great for my kids. Very fast online, but I guess that too would be determined by your internet speed connection. Mine is the fastest with AT&T, so it loads quickly. Very happy with my new computer...
Great. Only wireless performance is terrible.
Bought this to be a HTPC. Overall look is fantastic. Lots of connections. Plug and play. Fantastic piece, loved it.
Only CON is that its wireless performance is terrible. Just after bying it I found many customers with same problems. You can stream content from other PC's or NAS successfully. Even closer to the wireless point its Wi-Fi adapter is really bad. Some customers replaced the original card for a new one and got better results. Other opted out to a new one, USB. I also saw a guy that made a DIY with a pig cable and external antena with 7 DB boost (also with a new card internal), then it got ok.
I made it cabled now and then it runs smoothly even high def videos from my NAS, so the only problem is the wireless itself.
Besides that, loved the machine, will by a new one, but thinking of getting a different brand.
