take some time to do an unboxing of a Canadian exclusive for the time being
for NCIX we've got the aspire Revo in stock right now so we wanted to talk
about this unit a little bit first of all we've got the the specs here so you
can see it comes with Windows Vista Intel Atom dual core processor 2 gigs
RAM 160 gig hard drive wireless wireless keyboard wireless mouse the coolest
thing about this though is the NVIDIA ion integrated graphics so what that
means is we're using an NVIDIA chipset and we have NVIDIA onboard video so if I
could just get this to open that would be ouch very helpful so what that means
is that you've got hardware decoding available on the GPU itself or blu-ray
or other HD content now you can't necessarily play right off a blu-ray
disc because it doesn't have a blu-ray drive or a place to put a drive but the
Revo is a new sort of class of computer called a net talk so we're gonna show
this closing form factor in just a minute here ok yeah that can go away
soon as we get the blocks open so here we go inside we've got
ya how do you use your wireless keyboard and mouse the warranty how to mount your
net top to the back of a monitor that's actually kind of cool so you can use a
VESA mount with the included mounting bracket to mount it to the back of a
monitor here's a little guide your new Revo all the stuff we'll talk about this
later so don't worry about it ok here we go let's get to the to the guts of this
we've got the Revo itself so we'll get this taken out so you can see the finish
on it is actually I'm just gonna cover up this
Windows key because I don't know if people can steal that so you can see the
finish on it is like a glossy black
shiny sort of sparkly finish it looks really gorgeous so we're gonna try to
remove oh that's really hard okay there
we go so you got your Easter logo so then on the back you've got your power
in VGA out HDMI out now this is the big
one cuz that's what you're gonna want to use for your digital content Gigabit
Ethernet for USB and then on the front you've got eSATA audio ports SD card
slot or MMC and then on the top you've got one more USB port and there it is
the NVIDIA ion logo so that is the Revo
itself quite small very cool so then let's see what else we've got four
accessories you've got your wireless mouse which is looks functional that's
nothing too exceptional about it and it comes with batteries of course so then
you've got your power cord power brick is in here
then next some silica gel don't eat this
and then hang on let's get this out of
here ok so you've got the little stand this is probably how most people are
gonna mount their Revo right on wow it's pulling everything over the place so
this is how you would normally mount the Revo but then also inside you've got the
the VESA mount if you put it on the back of your monitor and then this is kind of
a weird looking thing USB
okay hold on a second USB webcam there
you go so you can look it up or down it comes with a webcam very cool hello
there let's see what else we got hey and last
but not least we have the wireless
keyboard that comes with the Revo kind of shiny standard layout nothing
particularly exceptional about it so it comes with everything you need out of the box except a monitor thank you for
