User Reviews about Acer AspireRevo AR1600-U910H Black White Desktop PC (Windows XP Home)
Tiny footprint, HDMI out, low power consumption, low price. This is a neat little unit. I've got a brace of little kvetches:
1) After using it about a month, I came across the backup utility. Run that it says, "It's very important to run this before you use your computer!" Well, now you tell me. Thanks for putting it in the startup folder! The reason for that is that they don't include any OS media. You're getting a bare-bones system. I don't know what you'd do with that backup anyway, as there's no drive on her anywhere. I haven't figured out if the MB will support a bootable mem stick, but it looks like you can boot off ethernet? I dunno how to do that, but I'm intrigued.
2) You can upgrade the membory, but there's no good way to open her. After some time online, the best instruction I got was basically "jam a butterknife in there and don't mess up the case." Well, I was able to do 1/2 of that.
All told the price:performance is very good. -- it is what it is
We purchased this computer for our daughter-in-law. She was looking for a low-profile system that was easy to set up and use. This computer is just that. It is easy to set up. Windows XP works the way you expect it too. She likes the fact that it is a low energy computer, that can be left on all the time.
The disappointing side- when you add the price of a disc drive and a monitor to this computer, you might just as well have purchased any other desktop. There is no savings in buying this. The keyboard is cramped, as well.
That said- it's a good computer that is suprisingly fast.
I would like to see either the price come down, or a monitor added to the package. -- Good. Could be better, if....
I needed a computer for my office that runs old dos programs. I have tried using windows 7, but nothing is compatible with this program after XP. I purchased this computer as it is just about the only computer sold now with Windows XP pre-installed. I am extremely impressed with how this computer performs. It works as well as any tower PC with similar specs. Also the wow factor of everyone asking where my computer is. Noone believes that a computer fits into that small box. Since buying this computer, I purchased a second one for my roommate to use at his office. He loves it too. I am actually talking about using this as an everyday work computer and it performs great. The one thing that I do strongly recommend is that you buy another 1gb memory chip. You can buy one for like $20 and it will make a huge difference. Anyone can install it very easily too. If you are confused then go to one of the dozens of youtube videos where other people upgrade their machines. -- Great for any computer use
great little PC - DO NOT expect great performance. Super for the TV hookup and light usage - perhaps seniors???? -- Acer PC
