  3.5 stars Very good

  Overall score: 7.2 (3.5 stars)
• Average user rating: 3.0 stars out of 4 reviews

The Bottom Line: Not everyone wants a living-room computer, but the Acer Revo 100 is one of the better low-cost HTPCs we've seen thanks to a wisely chosen feature set, its attractive design, and a mostly well-conceived input device. Read review

  Overall score: 4.9 (2.0 stars)

The Bottom Line: The Acer Aspire X1920-UR20P is a poorly configured, overpriced budget desktop with little to recommend it. Look instead to Acer's Gateway subsidiary for better slim-tower options. Read review

Specs: Intel Pentium E6700 / 3.2 GHz, 4 GB / 4 GB (max), Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Edition, DVD±RW / DVD-RAM, Intel GMA X4500HD Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0, Integrated, none., L2 cache, 2 MB, Black

• CNET Editor rating:
  3.5 stars Very good

  Overall score: 7.0 (3.5 stars)
• Average user rating: 2.0 stars out of 27 reviews

The Bottom Line: The Acer Aspire X1200-U1520A is a speedy, compact, low-end desktop that's powerful enough to serve as a light-duty home theater PC. Expansion is limited by an especially cramped interior (even for a small PC), but the total package is worthwhile for PC shoppers on a budget. Read review

• CNET Editor rating:
  3.0 stars Good

  Overall score: 6.2 (3.0 stars)
• Average user rating: 4.0 stars out of 10 reviews

The Bottom Line: Acer's Aspire Revo 1600 might be the first Nettop we don't actively dislike. We'd rather have an Xbox 360 in the living room, but the Aspire Revo 1600 would be suitable as a PC for young kids or as a low-profile cloud kiosk. Thanks to its $199 price tag, you won't feel too much remorse if it breaks or you outgrow it. Read review
