With a plethora of cheap netbooks these days the challenge is to improve on the components in them while keeping the price low and the power consumption low improving battery life. Nvidia are trying with their ION Graphics Processor that produces 10 times faster graphics and now they are transferring it to a PC. Not only do they aim to improve the netbook gadgets, but in the Acer AspireRevo they will reduce the cost and increase the graphical power in the small form factor PCs.
The AspireRevo is the first desktop to incorporate the Nvidia ION graphics processor and promises much. The price of the PC hasn’t been released yet, but should be at the low end of the scale. It will deliver 1080p HD video and 7.1 audio and with a HDMI port can connect to your TV allowing you to stream TV shows, films and music from the internet and with its extra power will allow you to play games.
It will be controlled from a 1.6Ghz Intel Atom processor, can have up to 4GB of RAM and a 250GB had drive. Internet connectivity will be through either an Ethernet connection or the 802.11b/g WI-FI. For added storage or connection of your gadgets there are 6 USB ports and a 4-in-1 card reader.
Certainly in these credit crunching times it’s nice to see the affordability applied to the netbooks now being applied to desktops and improving on their performance.
