ACER ASPIRE REVO AR1600-U910H REVIEW

The Acer Aspire Revo is expected to be used as a normal PC and is designed in a similar fashion. The pricing of this netbook is slightly lower than the ordinary PC that can be used for household use but, with a few more dollars, the buyer can afford a better laptop with a X box 360 that can perform similar digital-media functions and in addition offers a powerful gaming environment and an amazing optical drive.

Since the price of this laptop is low, it does not provide a wireless networking adapter, where all other laptops do. So, there is a need to connect a 2.0 USB port or hardwire the netbook to your PC. Applications such as digital-media-editing programs and games can quickly drain the Revo’s 160GB hard drive and its 1.6GHz Intel N230 CPU. The netbook provides a 320GB device of larger specs for $329.

The size (small) of this netbook is an advantage, but the wiring involved with the keyboard and mouse is a total mess. The Acer Revo model can be mounted anywhere with ease and comfort. The features of Acer Revo are: 1GB DDR2 SDRAM of memory, 128MB (shared) Nvidia Ion LE integrated graphics chip, Gigabit Ethernet as its networking tool and Windows XP Home SP3 as the operating system.

The Aspire AR 1600 is too slow while loading huge, lengthy applications, Web pages and really bad at multi-tasking. The Nvidia’s Ion graphics chip offers the laptop better video capability. YouTube and Netflix can be accessed comfortably with zero trouble and considerably good quality. Some online shooter games cannot be played with ease. The resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels provides excellent performance at lower image quality settings for the game, but at higher image settings, the performance is pathetic.
