Acer Revo One (RL85-UR45)

Acer's Revo One small-form-factor (SFF) desktop packs enough power to handle content-creation tasks, and offers expansion options that are unheard of in such a compact PC.

Compact chassis. Expandable storage. Core i5 processor. Supports 4K and 1080p video. 802.11ac Wi-Fi. Includes personal cloud software.

Lots of bloatware. Chintzy wireless keyboard. Can't upgrade RAM. Revo Suite remote app is Android-only.

Conclusion The Acer Revo One (RL85-UR45) offers a surprising amount of power, expandability, and connectivity in a very compact package. It's one of the few SFF desktops with two additional hard drive bays, and it has a powerful Intel Core i5 processor...

Acer Revo review: A living room desktop you won't have to hide

The Acer Revo is a small 4K-friendly desktop with a sleek look and plenty of storage.

The Acer Revo is an attractive mini desktop with plenty of storage for media files, which can easily play 4K video.

Basic streaming boxes or even other media-friendly PCs cost less. The included keyboard and mouse feel cheap, and most gaming is out of the question.

The Acer Revo is a do-it-all media-friendly PC that can fit anywhere.

Acer Revo One RL85 Mini PC Review

Desktop midget. Acer's Revo One is a Mini Desktop PC designed primarily for the home user. The PC tries to attract customers with lots of storage, good performance, and an up-to-date arrangement of physical ports. How the review model differs from...

Dimensions, Noise level, Port selection, System performance, Design of chassis, Expandability mass storage, 4k resolution at 60 Hz using the DisplayPort

Only one RAM module (single-channel mode), No USB port up front, Power switch not easy to reach, Material scratches easily

Mini-form-factor PCs are becoming more and more popular. Thanks to the latest mobile technology, the new systems are versatile, quiet, and frugal and are able to replace many old-fashioned desktop PCs.

Acer Revo One RL85 review

A desktop PC that pretends it's a TiVo

Great design ; Superb storage capacity ; Tiny footprint

Tight ports and fittings ; Lowered specs on high street model ; Poor remote control

This highly compact mini-PC is really smartly designed, save for a couple of niggles, and is great for home entertainment duties, plus it offers some useful additional features.
