Hi all
The Acer RL80 is on sale in the UK at the moment - a new version with a Celeron 1007U instead of the previous 887. I believe the previous RL80 had some issues which caused problems, since resolved?
It's available for £129 after cashback at eBuyer.com and comes with 2GB RAM, 500GB HD, has 10/100/1000 Ethernet, Wifi b/g/n, Bluetooth, 2xUSB3 and 4xUSB2, Card reader, HDMI and DVI-I outputs. (No eSATA) Specs say it has 2 Mini PCI Express slots (I assume one is taken up by WiFi?)
Looks to be quite a reasonable spec for the price - comparable with the Brix and NUC Celerons - a bit bigger but includes storage (albeit non-SSD) and RAM at a similar price point, and has USB3.
Thought it was worth a go - wondered what others thought?
