Despite all of the enthusiasm over netbooks and the amount of lightweight and long life computing freedom they offer the chips powering them are certainly up to the task of providing a decent experience on the desktop as well.

The Acer Aspire Revo R3600 nettop combines Intel’s Atom processor and Nvidia’s ION platform for some spirited computing action. ModReactor has a look at the PC and what it can do:

The particular model we tested is sold a complete system, with pre-installed Windows Vista Home Premium. Very soon models with the free open source Linux based OS will too be available, we also expect choice between HDD and SSD drives, different configurations of its complement and so on. At this time this is the very first model on the market and its job is to provide toy with all the essentials while sparing you from any problematic experiences (everything is pre-configured, all the drivers are pre-installed too – all you have to do in order to use it is get it out of its box).

It’s a slick little system for sure, a little too slick, it just might tempt you into buying multiple systems…I know it beckons me.
