Acer AspireRevo shipping in Germany, unboxed in Germany

The Acer AspireRevo is the first computer shipping to use the NVIDIA Ion platform which pairs an Intel Atom CPU with an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor. I mean, sure… it’s not shipping in the US yet. But it is available in Germany, where Johannes from NewGadgets.de got a chance to pick one up and post some unboxing photos.

The ION platform provides enhanced graphics performance for watching HD video, decoding Blu-Ray discs, or playing some video games. NVIDIA promises that additional companies will begin releasing computers built around the platform in the coming months. There’s a rumor going around that Asus and MSI will not be among them. But I’m hoping at some point we’ll see a company decide to use the ION chipset in a netbook to help differentiate their mini-laptop from the sea of computers with the same specs. Because I’m getting really tired of typing “1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1024 x 600 pixel screen, 1GB of RAM, and 160GB hard drive. “

This is a great step in the right direction. It's taking longer than I thought it would but slowly and surely the commoditized, small PC is taking over the world…

Not only are you getting tired of typing those specs, but I think we're all getting tired of reading them lol

I'd really like to see a 10-11 inch netbook with a higher resolution, the Nvidia ION, and possibly even one of the dual core Atom processors (one of the Nvidia ION nettops is going to have dual-core, so why not the netbooks?). I think this is the kind of netbook we're all wanting to see honestly.

Once a device similar to what I described comes out, I'll buy it in a heartbeat. That's what I've been waiting on to be released.
