Title: ACER REVO R3600 PC BUT WHICH WINDOWS OS?
Post by: bridgej on Oct 28, 2009, 13:41:41
I'm about to buy an ACER REVO R3600 Net Top pc, but not sure which Windows OS will run on it best:

The R3610 http://www.simplyacer.com/Acer_Revo_3610_655101.html comes with Windows 7 and an Intel Atom (330, 1.60 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 1MB L2 cache)

The R3600 http://www.simplyacer.com/Aspire_Revo_625107.html comes with Windows Vista HP and has an Intel® Atom™ (N230, 512K Cache, 1.60 GHz, 533 MHz FSB)

Or should I search out for one with XP?

Your thoughts appreciated

Windows 7 is being reported as generally faster than Vista, so I would go with that one :)

I saw the 21.5 in Regent's street (went to buy a magic mouse-non in stock) with a brief glimpse  I thought someone had stuck a macbook on a stand it was so thin. The 27.5 was a little wider. I didn't fall in to the trap either. :)
