Acer Revo RL100 Media Center; the Digital Heart of the Living Room

SAN JOSE, CA, Jun 13 (MARKET WIRE) --
Acer America Corp. announced today that the slim and stylish Acer Revo
RL100 media center is now available at leading technology retailers in
the United States. A digital hub for a den or living room, it connects to
a flat-screen TV and comes with a dual-mode wireless touchpad/keyboard
for smooth navigation from the comfort of the couch. There are two models
available, including one with Blu-ray.

Outfitted with Acer clear.fi, the Acer RL100 automatically interconnects
all Acer home-based and mobile devices, including smartphones, making it
easy to consolidate and share HD multimedia throughout the household.
This means users can access HD movies and personal content from any Acer
device in the house for enjoying on a big screen TV.

This unique system won both Best Choice and Design & Innovation awards at
Computex 2011 in Taipei. The Best Choice awards jury selects Taiwan's
best information and communications technologies (ICT) products in the
overseas market each year. The Design & Innovation awards, organized in
cooperation with the world-leading industrial design institution iF
Design, honors products showcasing excellence and originality in
construction.

Available in a very slim, low profile black chassis that's about the size
of a game console, the Acer Revo RL100 measures just 1.0 inches (H) x
11.81 inches (W) x 7.09 inches (L). It's sleek, understated and flexible
with the ability to lay flat or upright on a stand depending on the
user's preference. It connects directly to a TV via an HDMI port and
seamlessly integrates with a high-definition 5.1 channel surround sound
system. Enhanced with Dolby(R) Home Theater v3, the Acer Revo RL100
provides an immersive, crystal-clear audio experience.

The smooth acceleration for HD home cinema features next generation
NVIDIA(R) ION discrete graphics with support for 1080p/720p HD video
playback and Web HD Flash acceleration. Equipped with an AMD Athlon(TM)
II K325 processor (1.3GHz), a 750GB SATA hard drive(1) and 4GB DDR3
SDRAM, the Acer Revo RL100 has plenty of power and storage for cinematic
entertainment.

Flexible Dual-Mode Wireless Touchpad/Keyboard
The Acer Revo RL100 comes
with a dual-mode wireless touchpad/keyboard. With the press of a toggle
button, the wireless multi-gesture touchpad transforms between a back-lit
full-function keyboard and a simple touch-based mouse. The keyboard is
about the size of an index card that enables a large amount of text to be
typed using fingers or thumbs.

A feature called Free Touch provides screen navigation, cursor movement
and application control with the use of just one finger. Using two-finger
pivot motion, PDF files can be rotated 90 degrees. Users can also pinch
for zooming and browse photos, web pages, documents or media albums back
and forth by sliding three fingers horizontally and vertically.

Acer clear.fi: Simple Sharing, Set-Up, Search and Scalability
The
integrated Acer clear.fi media sharing system is based on the concept
that it's easier if all personal multimedia content is integrated into a
single system with a common interface. clear.fi works by automatically
detecting the clear.fi-enabled devices connected to the wireless home
network and allowing digital content stored on these to be shared with
other devices leveraging the same interface. clear.fi is Digital Living
Network Alliance (DLNA) compatible, allowing users to access media on
DLNA-capable devices such as network attached storage (NAS), Microsoft(R)
Xbox 360, Playstation(R) 3, some digital cameras and cell phones. Highly
scalable, all Acer-branded consumer devices now have clear.fi embedded
and can instantly join the wireless home network to share stored
multimedia.

Connectivity and Software
Acer Revo RL100 has three USB 2.0 ports (one
in front, two in back) for connection to a wide gamut of digital devices.
The integrated multi-in-one card reader supports MultiMediaCard(TM)
(MMC), Secure Digital(TM) (SD) Card, xD-Picture Card(TM) and Memory
Stick(TM). It also offers an optical S/PDIF port for connecting to an
external home theater audio system and both wired and wireless
connections to the internet via integrated 802.11b/g/n wireless and an
Ethernet port.

Practical software includes Microsoft(R) Windows 7 Home Premium,
Microsoft(R) Office Starter 2010, Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) Reader, Adobe Flash
