Acer Revo 100 Pro Reviews

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Not everyone wants a living-room computer, but the Acer Revo 100 is one of the better low-cost HTPCs we've seen thanks to a wisely chosen feature set, its attractive design, and a mostly well-conceived input device.

The performance is impressive. Sure, a standalone Blu-ray player will deliver more detail, but pictures here are still sharp, vibrant and controlled, while music is delivered with admirable gusto and weight. So; the problems. Well, the problems are that the clear.fi software doesn’t deliver HD audio, and that – despite claims that it should – 3D simply would not work with any of the TVs we tried. Both of these flaws could absolutely be fixed with software upgrades, so we may well be upping the star rating in the future, but for now we’re in the disappointing position of having to give a poor score to a product we really rather like.

Do you pay £600 for a Windows 7 based media PC with Blu-ray, Freeview, PVR, 3D and wireless for Internet, or £350 for a standalone player with Blu-ray, Freeview, PVR and wireless for Internet. The decision to buy a Revo 100 comes down to whether you need the other facilities of a Windows PC in the living room.

Why would you pay £500 for this media PC, rather than £300 for a combined PVR and Blu-ray player? It's slimmer, sleeker and includes a full 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium. If you fancy accessing the Internet using your telly, as well as some fairly basic gaming over its built-in wireless link, then it's a decent enough investment. We'd have preferred a less cluttered keyboard, though.

The RL100 is quiet in use and provides all the connected PC features you want alongside Blu-ray playing and an unobtrusive living-room design. Running Windows 7 offers every service you could want, plus complete web browsing with that continually awful Windows interface (when compared to Apple TV, Xbox or PlayStation 3).

If we could change one physical thing, we’d swap the current TV tuner for a Freeview HD-capable DVB-T2 model, but other than that the Acer Revo 100 is a likeable PC with a wonderfully innovate touch remote. It’s topped off by the fact that this Blu-ray-packing, media-streaming, gorgeous little PC will set you back only £458 exc VAT. If you don’t already have a PlayStation 3 or Blu-ray player, the Revo 100 is the ideal solution for a busy home.

Though it's not on the cutting edge of connectivity, in every other regard the Acer Revo 100 is our favourite HTPC. It's slim, stylish, quiet, well-built, can handle most tasks effortlessly and has the coolest bundled remote you're likely to see this year, all of which makes its high price sound like decent value.

The Acer Revo 100 looks good, solves the problem of a boring keyboard and mouse in your living room, and more importantly, it works. Used effectively Clear.fi has the potential to act as a hub for your living room’s content, while the fact that it’s all powered by Windows 7 means you’ve got plenty of room to manoeuvre. Add into the mix near silent running and the Acer Revo 100 serves well as a media PC.
