Hi there,
New guy here so please bear with me. I have been searching for days now and I just cannot find a definitive answer for my questions regarding this system.
I am interested in buying this one Acer Revo RL70.
I have contacted the site and they said that it has integrated Radeon HD 6320 graphics. Now if I go ahead and get it I'll be installing Ubuntu on it and XBMC on top of this, mainly as an XBMC only HTPC, but I will be using the internal harddrive to host some of my movies/tv shows and the rest will be on an external HDD.
I will be playing some 1080p movies on it and I would like to know if anyone here has any experience with a similar set up? Do 1080p movies play smoothly? Does this machine do HD audio over HDMI?
I wont be streaming Netflix or anything else just purely video on the HDDs.
Is there anything else I should know about this?
EDIT: I am open to suggestions for alternatives but I am aiming below the £200 (€250) mark, as this is the most I can afford for it.
Thanks,
BroLo
