Power Consumption of Acer Aspire Revo
My Acer Aspire Revo R3600 arrived yesterday. Here are the specifications: -
- 1.6GHz Intel Atom 230 CPU
- 1GB DDR2 RAM
- 160GB hard disk
- Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics
- HDMI, D-SUB out
- eSATA
- 6 x USB
- 4-in-1 card reader
- Gigabit Ethernet
- 802.11bg WLAN
- Linux
- Size: 30mm x 180mm x 180mm
I’ve installed Windows 7 (more details in another post) and done a quick test of the power consumption. As I’ve read in reviews (but didn’t quite believe!) the power draw hovers between 19 and 20 watts (this is idle – just displaying the Windows desktop after everything has finished loading).
I intend to stick another stick of 1GB RAM inside it, so maybe this will increase the power consumption slightly, buts its still pretty good!
