The Acer Aspire Revo is available via Amazon for £316.23, £263.98 and £149.99 respectively.
Oh yes it looks like the much anticipated Ion-based computers are starting to be launched. Acer is launching what amounts to NVIDIA's first Ion-based nettop.
The AspireRevo will have a 1.6GHz Intel Atom 230 processor, up to 4GB of RAM, up to 250GB of HDD space, a 4-in-1 card reader, HDMI / VGA outputs, gigabit Ethernet, six USB 2.0 sockets, audio in / out, Windows Vista Home Premium / Basic and a svelte black and white enclosure that measures just 7.1- x 7.1- x 1.2-inches.
Thanks to the Ion based GPU the AspireRevo will play nicely with 1080p content such as Blu-Ray, DirectX 10 and some less demanding games.
No actual wording on the release date or pricing but it should be within Q2.

The Acer Hornet nettop has had quite a bit of press attention recently as it is one of the first machines that is claimed to use NVIDIA’s Ion Platform and will offer Wii like motion sensitive gaming.
Some specifications have been leaked confirming some of the features along with some other interesting details.
It will support 1080p video playback over HDMI. A "Media Center" version will come with a Wii-like remote that can be used for gaming as well as media control.
Price range will be $149-$299 with the low end model pairs what sounds like an Atom N230 with 1GB of RAM and an 80GB drive preloaded with Vista Home Basic, while higher end models get 2GB of RAM, a 160GB drive, and a "Boxshell" quickboot OS in addition to Vista Home Premium.
It should also operate at less than 26dB which means it will be almost silent for the majority of people as ambient noise levels in a home are around 20-25 dBA.
Personally I don't think it is much of a looker but luckily its diamond-shaped chassis designed to hang off the back of your flatscreen.
If it really can handle 1080p fine and come in at the quoted prices I will definitely by buying one of these!

Habey is putting a smile on HTPC fans with the release of 2 new mini HTPCs the BIS-6540HD and the BIS-6550HD.
The BIS-6540HD is capable of running an impressive 1080p signal with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor thanks to a special HD Hardware decoder.
The unit is completely fanless and supports SSD for 100% silent computing. It also features 2GB of DDR2 RAM, eight USB ports, a built-in CF socket DVI and VGA outputs, ethernet, and options for wireless and HD TV tuner.
Unfortunately there is no word on pricing or availability yet but it will happily play Planet Earth on Blu-ray.
