This little computer comes with a black cordless keyboard and mouse, not white. The hard drive is 250g. The computer works just great for my kids. Very fast online, but I guess that too would be determined by your internet speed connection. Mine is the fastest with AT&T, so it loads quickly. Very happy with my new computer...

Wanted a HTPC for my Mitsubishi 73" DLP. Thought I had researched enough to ensure that the Acer Revo 3610 would meet my needs, and it almost does.
The GOOD...
Very small and noiseless package that fits nicely on a small shelf.
Optical and HDMI outputs
Remote Mouse and Keyboard work great
Very low power draw < 30 watts
The Bad
CPU is not able to render 1080P or 1080I for NETFLIX without stuttering
CPU is not able to render 1080P or 1080I for HULU without Smearing
You lose 1 768 Megs for Ram if you upgrade to 4gb (Reports 3.0 or 3.1/4) depending on Video allocations in bios
Netflix uses Silverlight which does not use the Nvidia GPU for graphic rendering.
HULU is better the netflix but not as smooth as my Desktop (Dual Core @2.6ghz)
I am hopeful that Acer, Microsoft and/or Nvidia will update their drivers to resolve he issues.

Bought this to be a HTPC. Overall look is fantastic. Lots of connections. Plug and play. Fantastic piece, loved it.
Only CON is that its wireless performance is terrible. Just after bying it I found many customers with same problems. You can stream content from other PC's or NAS successfully. Even closer to the wireless point its Wi-Fi adapter is really bad. Some customers replaced the original card for a new one and got better results. Other opted out to a new one, USB. I also saw a guy that made a DIY with a pig cable and external antena with 7 DB boost (also with a new card internal), then it got ok.
I made it cabled now and then it runs smoothly even high def videos from my NAS, so the only problem is the wireless itself.
Besides that, loved the machine, will by a new one, but thinking of getting a different brand.

I have it connected to my TV through HDMI and use it to view streaming content from Netflix, Hulu and others. Very good performance. I recommend getting a Media PC-compatible remote (for under $10 from Amazon) for more intuitive controls of streaming media.

This computer is a nice home theatre system product with HDMI, digital audio optical outputs. I am using only the HDMI and this has worked fine. The system has 2GB memory and seems to be fine at streaming video, despite some concerns over the processor in other reviews. The wireless keyboard and mouse work great, look for the USB device that is the antenna inside the mouse, but this is in the directions if you look closely. My only complaint is that the wireless G in the computer is not as good as my Gateway laptop which connected fine to my wireless router. My home stereo is some distance from the Netgear wireless router and although the ACER got 2 bars, would not connect to the internet. Moving the wireless router and modem out to that room it worked fine. Problem solved with a D-link DWR-700AP working in AP client mode up in the stereo room.
Summar,
Nice computer for the money and will be fine for your home theatre system instead of laptop, as long as you have wired or very good wireless signal.
