Each of the “blocks” stacks one on top of the other, using pogo pins that are magnetically aligned to make connections easy. The main component “block,” houses an Intel Celeron or Pentium processor, up to 8GB of RAM, three USB 3.0 ports, an SD card slot, HDMI port and Display Port. Acer said that the blocks will include a 500GB/1TB hot-swappable hard drive. It has a mini chassis with 1 liter and 125 x 125 mm and can be placed anywhere.

The company will also launch a “wireless power bank” for wireless charging and an “audio block” with integrated speakers and a mic. Moreover, these blocks will also be able to play nice independently with other PCs. The Revo Build comes with a built-in speaker for sound output and a wireless power bank so it can be used without an outlet. The modular PC base will go on sale in Europe, Africa and the Middle East starting at €199 (about $224).
