Acer Aspire Revo R3600 - NVIDIA ION Nettop Review

Page 2 - Packaging, contents

We're used seeing small boxes, containing fully functional computers, but we must admit, the Acer Aspire Revo R3600 still amazes us, especially considering the amount of stuff it contains within. As for its graphic design - its mostly about advertising rather than specifications – its intended to catch eyes with appearance, after all anyone buying it is surely well aware of what's inside:

Upon opening the box we instantly noticed that everything is neatly packed in a separate compartment, protecting each and every piece from harm. The very first thing we picked up were the warranty cards, manuals and all of the other paperwork. On top of them you can see the power adapter that though small uses quite thick power cable – most likely this is to ensure that it will survive some walking on, or even being run over by an office chair. Or two.

And now for the stands included. There is two of them – one for attaching the nettop to the back of a monitor, so it would not occupy any space on your desk (we liked this jewel way too much to hide it). The second a clear acrylic one for holding Acer Aspire Revo R3600 in upward position on your desk

There are also a keyboard and mouse provided. White in colour they match the overall product design. Nothing much to be said about the mouse, it's a plain white optical mouse more or less:

Keyboard on the other hand is different thing. Resembling largely an Apple keyboard design (including the colour) it has soft slightly raised buttons, spaced rather widely. While it looks very cool it is in fact not so comfy to work with. It has Teflon feet to keep it from sliding on surfaces and is clearly raided on the back for providing more comfort.

Now for Revo R3600 itself. It is generally diamond shaped, with metallic dark blue, white spotted and partially white blue accented sides. The bulk of its body though is like the peripherals - white. The left side bears rather ugly sticker with all the necessary markings, fortunately enough its adhesive isn't too strong and it is easily removed without any trace:

The right has an Acer logo in the upper left corner and the name of the product on the bottom right - both set on a background of the above mentioned light blue accents
