Although the RL100 has been available overseas for about six months, it’s now available in the US for the first time at a retail price of about $500.  A model with a Blu-Ray drive is expected to be available for $570 soon.

Acer has unveiled two new nettops under the Acer Veriton name.  They should look pretty familiar if you’re acquainted with Acer nettops because in terms of shape it’s basically the same as the Acer Aspire Revo 3700 ($349).  The two models are names the Veriton N281G and N282G respectively.

The Veriton N281G is more of a budget model, featuring a single core 1.83GHz Intel Atom D425 processor, integrated Intel GMA 3150 graphics, 2GB of DDR3 memory, and a 320GB hard drive.

The Acer Veriton N282G is the media powerhouse of the bunch, featuring a 1.83GHz dual core Intel Atom D525 processor, NVIDIA ION 2 graphics, 2GB of DDR3 memory, and a 320GB hard drive.

Acer says both models should be available this month for $399 and up.

Acer’s been busy working on a follow up to the popular Aspire Revo 3600 (thea dual-core Atom 330 and NVIDIA’s Ion graphics system).  Today, almost a year to the day that the Revo 3600 was launched, they give us the Aspire Revo 3700.

As far as advancements go, this one’s fairly predictable the 1 liter enclosure now boasts Intel’s latest 1.8GHz Atom D525 dual-core processor, NVIDIA’s next-generation Ion platform, support for 1080p video playback, a 500GB hard drive, four USB 2.0 ports, 4GB of DDR3 memory, VGA / HDMI outputs, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, gigabit Ethernet and a mini PCIe slot. It’s expected to ship later this year with a $580 price tag, but it’s still a TV tuner shy of being exactly what our living room asked for.
