Acer Revo One
Acer Revo One Specs-Acer Revo One wants to be a media streamer and desktop products with various functions. It is made of small white plastic box with gently rounded angles and shiny, and not easy to conceal as Intel Compute Stick or Mac Mini. Instead it was designed to be aesthetically unpleasant enough that you will not mind a small trail next to a TV set or monitor desktop.
Revo One sells for $ 249 and $ 579, or (£ 239 to £ 599 in the UK and AU $ 419 AU $ 1,099 in Australia, each with a slightly different local configuration). The entry level model uses an Intel Celeron processor and a small 80GB solid state hard drive, while the more expensive models trading up to Intel Core i3 and i5 processors and 1TB hard drive is large. A faster processor is essential if you plan to watch a lot of 4K video or doing anything more intense than basic websurfing or video streaming.
Price put the system right in the same ballpark as Apple Mac Mini and HP Mini. Entry-level Mac Mini costs $ 500 (£ 399, AU $ 619) and includes CPU Core i5 same and a 500GB hard drive, while the HP Mini comes the $ 449 configuration (£ 349 in the UK) with an Intel Core i3 CPUs and 1TB hard drive. Revo models reviewed here combine higher specification, with a Core i5 CPU and a 1TB hard drive, plus a wireless keyboard and mouse. There is also a cheap price, $ 150 Intel Atom-powered Calculate Stick is a very interesting product, basically ala mini netbook computer built into a chassis stick. But it is also very limited in connectivity, with only a single USB port, and it has only 32GB of onboard storage. It will stream Netflix or YouTube video playback is fine. Meanwhile, Revo works well for not only video streaming, but 4K playback of video files, Web surfing and basic productivity, and other mainstream local duty short games. It may have more processing power than the living room PC really needs, but it does not hurt to have enough to double as a PC home office or dorm room media hub. If you can forgive plastic keyboards and mouse combo that comes bundled with a number higher than the average of shovelware loaded onto the hard drive, as Revo is flexible factor desktop small form that looks great that you won 't need to hide behind a houseplant ,
While both Mac Mini and HP Mini squat, puck system as it is designed to have a very low profile but desktop footprint is wider, rectangular Revo is high with gently rounded edges and glossy translucent white finish. Although the larger of the two Minis, it is still shorter than the iPhone 6 Plus, stands 6.1 inches and about 4.2 inches square. The front face of the plain apart from the Acer logo and almost all of connectivity occurs on the rear panel, including a small, hard to reach power button. White status lights on the upper surface, such as an SD card slot. Acer Revo is bundled with a basic white keyboard and mouse, both connected to the same USB receiver. Mouse cheap plastic, but at least has a curved ergonomic design, although there are no extra buttons or features media. Small keyboard, both for the living room lap use, and has a deep lock which clacky, but easy to hit. A shortage on the keyboard, that features media controls, such as volume control, mapped to the function key row in such a way that you need to press the Fn key to use it. Which makes the fly media playback controls work of two hands. Many laptop and desktop media has been reversed so as to make transport volume and media control the main functions of the Function key row.
Revo One Desktop has a lot of software, some of Acer, some of variou corporate partners. Adware including icons for Booking.com, Dropbox, Wild Tangent and eBay. You also get a series of overlapping, and sometimes confusing media application Acer, with names like abDocs, abMedia, Acer Portal, Acer Revo Suite, etc. Most of the file storage friendly cloud, which allows you to access files on the Revo from phone or tablet running iOS or Android app suitable companion. One is a remote control application that is supposed to act as a telephone-based touchpad and remote control for your PC. We installed the iOS version, and make sure the phone and Revo are on the same network and even connect via Bluetooth, but we never could get it to work.
A living room PC, or media heavy machinery, need a generous selection of ports and connections. In this case, Revo provides a lineup worthy includes four USB ports, although only two of them are faster USB 3.0 standard (and one will be taken by a USB dongle wireless keyboard and mouse. You also get top that loading SD card slot, HDMI and Mini DisplayPort for video, Ethernet, and audio jacks 1/8-inch standard. Mac Mini and HP Mini also has four USB ports respectively, although I liked that the HP Mini puts two on the front face for easy access, and it the only one with a full-size DisplayPort jack.
For the system to run Windows software media, from iTunes to the handbrake to Photoshop, Acer Revo One do right in line with other desktops that use low voltage Intel Core i5 dual-core CPU. Mac Mini, albeit a little slower (on paper) Core i5, slightly faster in tests of multitasking we, while Revo take advantage of a faster CPU and a hybrid hard drive (add to her plate drive 1TB with a small amount of flash memory) to run the test Photoshop we are faster. Calculate Smart Stick PC Intel, Intel Atom low-power run, is a distant last place in each of these tests, but it still works fine for basic Netflix and YouTube streaming at resolutions up to 1080p. Hands-on testing, CPU and integrated graphics dual-core fight even with casual games, but to play a 4K video files from various sources is not a problem at all.
