The touch panel can handle two big fish fingers and holding your finger on the panel invoked the right mouse button. The reassuring tone buttons when writing, but no haptic feedback, as in other keyboards (ie, smartphones and tablets). The bottom of the controller has a volume control, suitable for modeling the system with TV-centric. It is noteworthy that the remote contact replaces any kind of TV-style infrared remote control: it is simply not necessary, unless you're an aggressor FF / REW keys. As a small and flat touchpad / keyboard, you can take a medical exam if you have a lot of writing.
Other system features include a media Blu-ray combo player / DVD for playing movies, home theater specific ports such as HDMI and S / PDIF, a 750 GB drive, and a low power processor AMD Athlon K325 not need high fan to avoid overheating. The RL100-UR20P comes with Acer Clear.fi ecosystem, which adds an easier to use layers on top of the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). With Clear.fi, you can share photos, videos and music between computers connected to Acer laptops, desktops, and tablets like the A100 Acer Iconia Tab (Wi-Fi). It is easier to configure than just ordinary DLNA, but it is not quite as easy to use as Apple's Bonjour sharing available on iTunes and Apple TV. The system included 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi or Ethernet port manages the network.
The system includes three USB 2.0 (a big consideration is equipped with a wireless touchpad / keyboard), card reader, and the number of completed software. Some of the software, it makes sense, such as Netflix to watch movies and TV shows online. Some pre-installed software is a bit 'controversial Times Reader, (NY Times), Nook, Skype and eBay their presence on the desktop, to comply with the icons. I understand that product placement will help to reduce the price of computers, but there are simply too many pre-loaded programs and icons are everywhere. Topping pre-installed software is a short 60-day trial subscription of McAfee Internet Security, which is a few months longer.
Performance
The RL100 is UR20P-K325 AMD Athlon running at 1.3 GHz relatively slow, but K325 is dual-core, multimedia prowess with the system a bit. Dual-core system more NVIDIA ION will display 1080p videos online and Blu-ray movies smoothly, showing a nettop may be sufficient if all you're looking for media consumption. But it is slower on the uptake when it comes to creating media: 5 minutes and 43 seconds to encode a video on the handbrake and 1:19 p.m. to browse Photoshop CS5 test image manipulation - the best score mag . In comparison, our editors choice nettop last Lenovo IdeaCentre Q150 ($ 399 direct, 4 stars), a test ice CS5 23:38. The Zotac ZBox AD03BR-PLUS-D ($ 519.99 list, 3.5 stars) also works behind Acer to "nearly 15 minutes" for CS5. Large HP Pavilion Slimline S5-1020 ($ 429.99 list, 3 , 5-star) has an Intel Pentium dual-core processor gives the 2:05 and 4:29 handbrake on CS5.
The HP Slimline S5-1020 is a little cheaper and more powerful than the RL100-UR20P to be sure, but the S5-1020 is more or less an ordinary PC-Jane office in a small box (which is much thicker than Revo). The RL100-HP UR20P exceeds its innovative wireless controller, HDMI port and Blu-ray. The ZOTAC ZBOX is so similar such as the Revo, with its compact size, low power processor, and Blu-ray. However, the ZBOX is more of a DIY project: the system lacks an operating system (figure on $ 99 more for Windows 7 Home Premium), is almost as expensive, slower, has a smaller hard drive, less system memory, and doesn t 'have the remote control products.
RL100-Revo features UR20P simply out run and out-Q150 in all areas, but the price and the dollars more worth it, that one of the better home theater PC out there. So if you want to add low-cost computer for HDTV, Acer Revo RL100-UR20p is one of the better choices out there, especially if you're looking for the easiest way to watch movies IPTV and Blu-ray on a large screen. For these reasons, RL100-UR20P nettop computer is the latest Editors' Choice.
However, the lack S5-1020 Blu-ray and many other features that make the RL100 Revo so attractive to the media a dog.
