Nvidia’s Ion platform has had all of the makings of a great option for a compact and energy efficient machine, so good in fact one wondered if it’d ever see the light of day. Well wait no longer as Acer has taken the company’s design and crammed it into their AspireRevo nettop PC.
The system takes an Intel Atom CPU, prominently featured in many netbook designs, and pairs it with a chipset containing Nvidia’s somewhat capable 9400M GPU, a combination which should be able to handle most anything a normal user would throw at it. engadget has all of the press release joy:
“The Acer AspireRevo with our new NVIDIA ION GPU is so small and
powerful it’s unbelievable,” said Dan Vivoli, senior vice president of
marketing at NVIDIA. “Watch Blu-ray movies1 and HD movie trailers, or
clean up jerky, dim cell phone videos for internet streaming. This is
the perfect PC for today’s consumers.”
A slick machine which will, undoubtedly, mark the beginning of a popular new market for the Atom CPU.
