Small and attractive miniPC, Two swappable drive bays, Core i5 is a good performer, Supports dualmonitor setups
Rather expensive for what you get
The Acer Revo One RL85 acquits itself very well in almost all areas.It has a sleek and stylish modern design, with a good array of connectivity ports and display outputs – meaning dual-monitor setups are supported. The ability to remove hard drives (entir...
The Revo One is a very compact little PC. It's very quiet too, and I can easily see it sitting in a living room, perhaps providing access to services like Amazon and Netflix via the TV, doubling up as a NAS, or controlling home automation gadgets. All...

We've had the Revo plugged into our TV for the past few weeks and have enjoyed all that it brings.It's not the fastest machine and it won't be for hardcore gamers, but it's perfect as secondary PC or as an entertainment hub in your living room.And with ki...
Small form factor, Stylish design, Impressive storage
UK specs lower, Remote control badly designed, Unnecessary bloatware
The Acer Revo One RL85 works well as a home entertainment hub, and is a great value media storage alternative to a NAS drive. The remote is clunky and the performance isn't stellar, but Acer has got it right where it counts...

Abstract: It's not the first time we've seen a mini PC, but the Acer Revo One RL85's dinky one-litre scale means you can wave goodbye to the bulky tower of old, while its versatile feature set means it's more than just a PC. Indeed, by default it comes boxed with...
