Just Bought A New Desktop Computer For Under $200
I set it up for my kid and liked it so much I bought another one just to keep in my bedroom.
The Acer Revo 1600 is essentially a netbook without a built in screen or battery. It runs the Atom processor and has Windows XP installed. I read a lot of reviews on the internet, and some were good and some were mediocre.
The mediocre reviews complained about speed of the processor. I have found the speed more then adequate and have no complaints.
I have been a netbook convert for over a year and I really like them. They are small and easy to travel with. I myself don't think they are underpowered for many of the tasks most people need a computer for. If you are a die-hard gamer this is not the computer for you.
But, if you just need a computer for every day use or just want an extra computer for another room, I think this is a great computer at a great price.
I have Camtasia on the Revo as well as Photoshop CS4, Lightroom, Dreamweaver and Microsoft Office and they all run without problems. I tried to install Adobe Premiere Pro and was told the computer needed more RAM by the installation program. The computer comes with 1 gig of Ram and I saw on Youtube you can add an extra gig for 2 gigs total. Though it is not supported by Acer.
For all you marketers, I run most of Big Mike's Bot software on it as well as Bookmarking Demon.
I am a big fan of internet radio and run AOL radio in the background while I do my computing tasks.
I really like this little computer with its small footprint and I highly recommend it.
