2009-08-11
take some time to do an unboxing of a Canadian exclusive for the time being for NCIX we've got the aspire Revo in stock right now so we wanted to talk about this unit a little bit first of all we've got the the specs here so you can see it comes with Windows Vista Intel Atom dual core processor 2 gigs RAM 160 gig hard drive wireless wireless keyboard wireless mouse the coolest thing about this though is the Nvidia ion integrated graphics so what that means is we're using an Nvidia chipset and we have Nvidia onboard video so if I could just get this to open that would be ouch very helpful so what that means is that you've got hardware decoding available on the GPU itself or blu-ray or other HD content now you can't necessarily play right off a blu-ray disc because it doesn't have a blu-ray drive or a place to put a drive but the Revo is a new sort of class of computer called a net talk so we're gonna show this closing form factor in just a minute here ok yeah that can go away soon as we get the blocks open so here we go inside we've got ya how do you use your wireless keyboard and mouse the warranty how to mount your net top to the back of a monitor that's actually kind of cool so you can use a VESA mount with the included mounting bracket to mount it to the back of a monitor here's a little guide your new Revo all the stuff we'll talk about this later so don't worry about it ok here we go let's get to the to the guts of this we've got the Revo itself so we'll get this taken out so you can see the finish on it is actually I'm just gonna cover up this Windows key because I don't know if people can steal that so you can see the finish on it is like a glossy black shiny sort of sparkly finish it looks really gorgeous so we're gonna try to remove oh that's really hard okay there we go so you got your Easter logo so then on the back you've got your power in VGA out HDMI out now this is the big one cuz that's what you're gonna want to use for your digital content Gigabit Ethernet for USB and then on the front you've got eSATA audio ports SD card slot or MMC and then on the top you've got one more USB port and there it is the Nvidia ion logo so that is the Revo itself quite small very cool so then let's see what else we've got four accessories you've got your wireless mouse which is looks functional that's nothing too exceptional about it and it comes with batteries of course so then you've got your power cord power brick is in here then next some silica gel don't eat this and then hang on let's get this out of here ok so you've got the little stand this is probably how most people are gonna mount their Revo right on wow it's pulling everything over the place so this is how you would normally mount the Revo but then also inside you've got the the VESA mount if you put it on the back of your monitor and then this is kind of a weird looking thing USB okay hold on a second USB webcam there you go so you can look it up or down it comes with a webcam very cool hello there let's see what else we got hey and last but not least we have the wireless keyboard that comes with the Revo kind of shiny standard layout nothing particularly exceptional about it so it comes with everything you need out of the box except a monitor thank you for checking out my blog the unboxing of the Acer Aspire Revo
