The Acer Revi RL100-UR20P melds the world of the home theatre within a slim net-top PC, resulting in a Blu-ray-playing, Internet browsing, multimedia-consumption machine. If you're looking for an innovative PC, the RL100-UR20P has some of the nearest features and the best bang for the buck for a net-top anywhere. It has all you need for IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) and Blu-ray enjoyment on a big screen for a decent price, and therefore it's our new Editor's Choice for net-top PCs.
The RL100-UR20P looks like a kick back to the slim Sony PlayStation 2. It can be positioned vertically or horizontally, just like the PS2, but the chassis has a couple of interesting embellishments that turn out to be rather revolutionary. The RL100-UR20P comes with a wireless controller that acts as a touch-pad/ keyboard combination eliminating the need to go out and buy something like the Logitech diNovo Mini to access your media and browse the web.
The system's other media features include a Blu-ray player/ DVD combo drive for movie playback, home theatre-specific ports like HDMI and S/PDIF, a 750 GB drive, a low-powered AMD Athlon II K325 processor, which doesn't require a loud cooling fan to keep from overheating. The RL100-UR20P comes with Acer's clear.fi ecosystem, which adds an easier-to-use layer on top of DLNA (Digitial Living Network Alliance). With Clear.fi, you can share pictures, videos, and music among connected Acer laptops, desktops, and tablets like the Acer Iconia Tab A100 (Wi-Fi).
The RL100-UR20P's AMD Athlon II K325 runs at a relatively slow 1.3 GHz, but the K325 is dual-core, helping the system's multimedia Nvidia ION graphics help it display 1080p online videos and Blu-ray movies smoothly, showing that a net-top may be enough if all you're looking for is media consumption. However, it's slower on the uptake when it comes to creating media:5 minutes 43 seconds for it to encode a video on Handbrake and 13:19 to run through the Photoshop CS5 image manipulation test leisurely scores at best.
The Revo RL100-UR20P offers better features and performance than Lenovo IdeaCentre Q150Q150. It costs more, but the extra dollars are worth it.
So, if you want to connect an inexpensive PC to an HDTV, the Revo is a top choice, particularly if you want to view IPTV and Blu-ray movies on a big screen.
