The Acer Revo Box is a compact mini PC family built on Intel Core Ultra processors, including Core Ultra 5 226V and Core Ultra 7 256V models, with Windows 11 Home, Wi-Fi and SSD storage. Thinvent's closest match is the Treo Mini PC line, a mini PC family in an aluminium chassis offered with Intel Core processors from the i3-1215U to the Core Ultra 5 125U. The Treo also includes a Core Ultra 5 125U model, so buyers comparing Revo Box Core Ultra configurations can match the same Intel processor class. Treo models ship with Windows 11 Pro and the buyer can choose Ubuntu Linux, Thinux™ Embedded Linux, Windows 11 IoT Value, DOS or no operating system.
