5.0 out of five stars What a bargain!, October 5, 2010
By James F. Strasma “strasma” (Chicago, IL) See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME) () This review is from: Acer AspireRevo AR3700 U3002 thin and Compact Desktop (Personal Computers) This is just a fast note to fill in a couple of details not in the listed specifications, now that I have really received and set up two of these.

The variant of ION graphics is listed on the box as “GT218 ION” They work perfectly, so far as I can tell for You Tube HD (and Hulu) videos. (I did 1st upgrade Flash to variant 10.1.)

The “wireless” mouse and keyboard work via a nano size dongle installed in a USB port, and are good up to a distance of about five feet. They’re seen by Windows as 2.4GHz, but aren’t listed as Bluetooth.

Both the VGA video to a 20″ 1600 x 1200 pixel LCD PC monitor and the HDMI video to a 46″ 1080p (1920 x 1024 pixel) LED TV work good. (I did decrease the resolution somewhat on the TV caused by the TV’s overscanning otherwise hiding the edge of the PC display screen. I am sure the overscan may also be adjusted in the TV settings to resolve this without decreasing resolution, but did not find the place to do so quickly enough.)

Speed is listed as 3.5 on the Windows Experience, in comparison to 2.1 on our Asus Eee PC 1000 running the 32 bit variant of Windows seven Home Premium. (These new PCs run the 64 bit variant.)

These are marvelously calm. The only time the fan is ever audible is for a moment throughout the initial power on sequence.

I had no trouble installing our Samsung USB DVD player. Just plugged it in and it was now recognized. Likewise, pointing to my HP 2605 networked color laser printer found and configured automatically. (One suggestion: when the printer installer offers to update its list of printer drivers, let it.)

It was not firstly clear how I could reinstall everything if the hard drive ever fails. The PC did not come with any media to be used for that. (I afterward discovered the included program eRecovery creates a picture of the factory setup on three DVDs, with a 4th DVD for drivers, and easily made a set on DVD+RW disks, using the above mentioned external DVD driveSamsung USB 2.0 8x DVD Writer External Optical Drive for Mac and PC SE S084C/RSBN (Gloss Black).)

Another day in and I have removed many of the unneeded pre installed programs, disabled unwanted startup programs with msconfig, installed Microsoft Security Essentials, Firefox (along with add ins Firefox Sync, NoScript, Flashblock, and BetterPrivacy), and Microsoft Office 2007 (2010 comes pre installed, but could have cost me extra.) Windows Update has found and installed dozens of security upgrades.

Day 3: Telecommuted using this PC today. The VPN link was good, as was management of a remote database application and a GoToMeeting that included both audio and video. Nothing I did today spiked CPU utilization about 40! I also checked electricity used, and found it typically under 25 watts, barely more than the 20 watts used by our Asus Eee PC 1000 netbook, in spite of this Acer having more cores (2 rather than 1), faster clock speed (1.8GHz in place of 1.6GHz), and a 216GB hard drive (rather than 40GB of SSD.) Both 802.11b WiFi and Gigabit Ethernet Internet links work good.

I’ll keep adding more as I finish configuring these, but wanted to post now in case anybody else was wondering if these really exist and are any good. The answer is yes!

Update: Two weeks in, this has still been a perfect choice for both of us. Everything is configured just the way we like, and a full system backup made, just in case. (I used our USB external DVD+RW drive, but any external USB drive with enough space could do.)

For anybody wondering if the standard 2GB of RAM is enough, neither of ours has still used half of that still, though one of our PCs usually has a dozen windows open in different applications at the same time.

Highly recommended!

3.0 out of five stars Flash performance == good : Silverlight performance == not good, October 18, 2010
By Scott Kendall Mcfadden (oklahoma) See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) () This review is from: Acer AspireRevo AR3700 U3002 thin and Compact Desktop (Personal Computers) The unit is small and generates little sound and heat. Just make sure to not block the exhaust vent like I firstly did (otherwise the fan will run harder and louder). This has some number of USB 2.0 ports but no ESATA port (unlike last models). Connected to my Samsung 40 inch LCD TV via HDMI and runs well. The power button on the front is a bit mushy / unresponsive so you have to press it firmly and in the dead center.

Acer claims the wireless card is a LITE ON WN6602R with an RaLink RT3390 chipset. Now running unit with a Netgear Rangemax WNDR3700 Dual Band Wireless router. Win7 says my wireless connection is excellent and shows four bars / 150mbps. Flash 10.1 video performance is satisfactory (not great but acceptable). Silverlight four performance is woeful. This is unfortunate because Netflix uses Silverlight to implement their streaming video. Netflix is choppy to the point I can not tolerate it. In contrast, my PS3 and Roku are flawless in streaming Netflix over my wireless network. Do not think I blame Acer so much as I blame Microsoft for lack of hardware acceleration support in Silverlight 4. Come on Microsoft, you’re on variant four of Silverlight and still do not have hardware accelerated video? Adobe Flash 10.1 does and so should you. Make sure to ditch Internet Explorer in favor of Google Chrome on this box. Google Chrome runs circles around I.E. 8.

Possible upgrades for this box may be rising from 2gb to 4gb RAM.

Here is what Acer shows for the memory:
Support Memory size per socket: 1GB,2GB
Support memory type: DDR3 SO DIMM
Support memory interface: DDR3 800MHz
Support memory voltage: 1.5V
Support to parity check feature: Yes
Support to error correction code (ECC) feature: No
Pin: 204 pin

Another choice may be to replace the conventional hard drive with a SSD. I suspect an SSD could speed Media Center up a pretty bit.

Update: 11 12 2010
I attempted some tweaks to help a better looking at experience:
1. Upgraded from 2gb to 4gb RAM
2. Switched win7 resolution to 1280 x 720
3. Upgraded NVIDIA Driver to 260.99
4. Upgraded from I.E. Eight to I.E. Nine beta (Some netflix is viewable many isn’t. Family man is good while finding Channel Dirty Jobs is choppy).

Update: 12 6 2010:
Good news. ScottGu (Microsoft VP) declared on his blog (12/2) that Silverlight will be to get GPU support when Silverlight five rolls out. Check out Scott Gu’s blog for more details. This will help with Silverlight / Netflix looking at.

Update: 01 08 2011
Still waiting for Silverlight 5. Thought I could post many more specifications in the meantime:

Windows seven Scores
Processor 3.5
Memory 4.8 (with 4gb ram)
Graphics 5.0
Gaming Graphics 5.7
Primary Hard Disk 5.8

5.0 out of five stars What you get for the extra $150., October 6, 2010
By Wade Thunborg See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) () This review is from: Acer AspireRevo AR3700 U3002 thin and Compact Desktop (Personal Computers) The Acer AspireRevo AR1600 cost $199.99 at Amazon.Com.
The Acer AspireRevo AR3700 costs $349.99 at Amazon.Com.

I bought both for home use. I’m not a “Power User.”

What did I get for the extra $150? Was it worth spending more for a dual core microprocessor and newer operating system? Does it have enough power to justify the higher price?

Here is why I believe the answer is yes.

There is no fitted wifi with the AR1600 unlike the AR3700.

The AR1600 is sold with Windows XP and the AR3700 with Windows seven Home Premium Edition. While not many of Microsoft’s costly changes are great enhancements (Of what real use is the Aero theme or the Ribbon?), it’s a more smoothly working operating system.

The AR1600 handles most tasks easily, but it could not operate a WinTV HVR 850 usb tv tuner card. It worked perfectly with the AR3700. (This is the big reason for my buy of the AR3700.) The AR3700 also comes with Windows Media Center.

The AR1600 was adequate for everything else.

P.S.
1) Both the AR1600 and AR3700 have nice keyboards, but I find them a bit too small for expanded keyboarding sessions, so I use a full size Logitech keyboard.
2) In your beloved search engine, type “Replay AV8″. It is an inexpensive stream recorder program. I would not own a PC without it.
