Yet again, the rumors were (almost) true and even a day earlier than anticipated, Acer is launching what amounts to NVIDIA’s first Ion-based nettop .

The AspireRevo debuts today alongside a plethora of other Acer wares, boasting a 1.6GHz Intel Atom 230 processor, up to 4GB of RAM, up to 250GB of HDD space, a 4-in-1 card reader, HDMI / VGA outputs, gigabit Ethernet, six USB 2.0 sockets, audio in / out, Windows Vista Home Premium / Basic and a svelte black and white enclosure that measures just 7.1- x 7.1- x 1.2-inches. The built-in Ion GPU means that this bugger is completely capable of handling 1080p (and thus, Blu-ray) content, DirectX 10 and even mildly demanding games such as Call of Duty 4 .

Check the full release just past the break.

Acer is reportedly developing a nettop computer that will make use of NVIDIA’s Ion platform and will bundle a low power Intel Atom CPU with a high performing NVIDIA graphics chip.  What results should be a low profile, low power computer capable of handling modern video games and even 1080p video.

These nettop computers are sort of like netbookks without displays or keyboards.   From the picture, the Acer machine would actually be able to attach to the back of a standard LCD monitor.

No pricing or availability details yet, but we’ll have them as soon as they’re out.
