Aspire X3300

Acer's Aspire X3300 is a very affordable slim desktop system at just $500 but the system is a series of trade offs that will work for some but not others. The terabyte hard drive is certainly welcome for those that need a lot of space for media files and programs. Performance is decent for the cost although new Core i3 dual core systems do outperform the quad core Athlon II X4. This system is best used as a low cost general purpose system for those that don't want a large desktop.
