Acer launched its latest mini-desktop called the Revo 70. Like the company’s existing nettops, the Revo 70 isn’t much larger than a DVD drive, though it doesn’t really have one. However, this little computer share some features of a reasonably fine ultraportable notebook. The R70 measures 8.26″ x 8.26″ x 2.13″ and weighs just 2.2 pounds.

The Acer Revo 70 is operated by a 1.65 GHz AMD E-450 dual core processor, paired together with Radeon HD 6320 graphics, 2GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. The nettop runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Additional features include 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Ethernet, HDMI output, a VGA port, 6 USB ports, an SD card slot as well as audio jacks.

The Revo 70 has a list price of $329.99 on Acer’s retaill site. However, most of the retailers that have the computer in stock right now are charging no more than to $380. Despite its high price tag, this awesome nettop might lower its cost soon.

There are noticeable stats, weird ones, and of course, the good old constructive ones. Fresh reports emerging from Google exposed by Ad Age plunges into the last category. Going with Google’s numbers, consumers are increasingly beginning to embrace mobile internet-capable devices other than laptop or PC in the five major markets (that is, US, UK, France, Germany, and Japan). US figures shows nearly 10 percent more, others 76 percent against 68 percent. These stats were taken between September and October of 2o11, which implies any impact on Christmas season could have not been taken into consideration.

 Tablets are also seen gaining fair share, hanging around 10 percent in each market away from the U.S. and a little higher (17 percent). The new released Kindles and firm iPad sales helped drive that. Regardless of how you connect nowadays, any savvy netizen agrees: its not quantity but quality that counts.

With Intel’s launch of the Atom Cedar Trail platform, many hardware manufacturers, such as ASUS, became inspired in making computers based on these chips. This includes the Eee Box EB1031 nettop.

Unlike its predecessors, Asus’ latest nettop has gained a matte case that does a far better job at keeping fingerprints away, while sporting a thinner profile. Despite its small size, the Eee Box EB1031  comes with a wide variety of ports and connectors including audio jacks, four frontal USB 2.0 ports, a pair of USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, as well as VGA and HDMI video outputs.

Under the hood is Intel’s recently released Atom D2800 processor that is based on the Cedarviewdesign. It features two processing cores with Hyper-Threading support, for a total of four computing threads, packs 1MB of Level 2 cache memory and comes clocked at 2.13GHz. This chip also sports an integrated 1066MHz memory controller as well as a 640MHz on-die GMA 3650 GPU based on a PowerVR core.

The rest of the system includes 4GB of DDR3 memory, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, a multi-format card reader, as well as a 500GB hard drive (but can take any other 2.5-inch drive, HDD, SSD, or hybrid).

The Asus Eee Box EB1031 will be available in March, this year, while pricing hasn’t been discussed.
