Acer Aspire Revo 3700 nettop makes its European debut

Introduced last week in the US, Acer‘s Aspire Revo 3700 nettop has been launched in Europe today, promoted as an ultra-compact multimedia powerhouse that’s good for web surfing, word processing, playing 1080p video and even some more or less light gaming.

The Aspire Revo 3700 has a base price tag of €399, and features an Atom D252 dual-core CPU, a ION 2 DX10-ready GPU, up to 4GB of RAM, up to a 500GB HDD, a multi-card reader, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11n WiFi, plus D-Sub and HDMI outputs. The machine comes with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed.

Acer Aspire One D255 with dual-core Atom hits at $330

It was only a matter of time before Acer let out the pricing / availability details on its dual-core Atom netbook, and as we could have predicted, the Taiwanese company’s smacked an extremely enticing pricetag on this one. Ringing up at an aggressive $329.99, the 2.2-pound D255 looks almost identical to the D260 — yes, even those with the worst of cataracts could tell it’s an Aspire One from afar — but in terms of specs it’s got that notable difference of a brand new dual-core Atom N550 processor. But not to worry, even though it’s now the cheapest dual-core netbook around, it’s still got the netbook standards — including 1GB of RAM, 250GB hard drive and six-cell battery. The single-core version will go for $269.99, but we do have to say that shelling out that additional $50 for that extra core does buy you slightly faster performance (see our HP Mini 5103 review for some Atom N550 performance results). Sounds mighty tempting to us, but it still doesn’t make us forget about that Chrome OS netbook Acer’s been promising.
