take some time to do an unboxing of a Canadian exclusive for the time being
0:04
for NCIX we've got the aspire Revo in stock right now so we wanted to talk
0:09
about this unit a little bit first of all we've got the the specs here so you
0:13
can see it comes with Windows Vista Intel Atom dual core processor 2 gigs
0:17
RAM 160 gig hard drive wireless wireless keyboard wireless mouse the coolest
0:21
thing about this though is the NVIDIA ion integrated graphics so what that
0:26
means is we're using an NVIDIA chipset and we have NVIDIA onboard video so if I
0:31
could just get this to open that would be ouch very helpful so what that means
0:38
is that you've got hardware decoding available on the GPU itself or blu-ray
0:44
or other HD content now you can't necessarily play right off a blu-ray
0:48
disc because it doesn't have a blu-ray drive or a place to put a drive but the
0:53
Revo is a new sort of class of computer called a net talk so we're gonna show
0:57
this closing form factor in just a minute here ok yeah that can go away
1:01
soon as we get the blocks open so here we go inside we've got
1:05
ya how do you use your wireless keyboard and mouse the warranty how to mount your
1:10
net top to the back of a monitor that's actually kind of cool so you can use a
1:13
VESA mount with the included mounting bracket to mount it to the back of a
1:17
monitor here's a little guide your new Revo all the stuff we'll talk about this
1:21
later so don't worry about it ok here we go let's get to the to the guts of this
1:25
we've got the Revo itself so we'll get this taken out so you can see the finish
1:32
on it is actually I'm just gonna cover up this
1:35
Windows key because I don't know if people can steal that so you can see the
1:39
finish on it is like a glossy black
1:42
shiny sort of sparkly finish it looks really gorgeous so we're gonna try to
1:48
remove oh that's really hard okay there
1:52
we go so you got your Easter logo so then on the back you've got your power
1:56
in VGA out HDMI out now this is the big
2:00
one cuz that's what you're gonna want to use for your digital content Gigabit
2:03
Ethernet for USB and then on the front you've got eSATA audio ports SD card
2:09
slot or MMC and then on the top you've got one more USB port and there it is
2:14
the NVIDIA ion logo so that is the Revo
2:17
itself quite small very cool so then let's see what else we've got four
2:21
accessories you've got your wireless mouse which is looks functional that's
2:27
nothing too exceptional about it and it comes with batteries of course so then
2:31
you've got your power cord power brick is in here
2:35
then next some silica gel don't eat this
2:38
and then hang on let's get this out of
2:41
here ok so you've got the little stand this is probably how most people are
2:45
gonna mount their Revo right on wow it's pulling everything over the place so
2:51
this is how you would normally mount the Revo but then also inside you've got the
2:55
the VESA mount if you put it on the back of your monitor and then this is kind of
3:00
a weird looking thing USB
3:04
okay hold on a second USB webcam there
3:08
you go so you can look it up or down it comes with a webcam very cool hello
3:13
there let's see what else we got hey and last
3:16
but not least we have the wireless
3:19
keyboard that comes with the Revo kind of shiny standard layout nothing
