Acer Aspire M5800-U5802A

Blame its cheap-looking plastic exterior if Acer's $799 Aspire M5800 doesn't look like much. It makes up for its discount bin looks with fast performance, as well as a solid all-around set of features. We'd recommend this desktop to budget-minded gamers, digital media artists, or anyone in need a reasonably...

Acer Aspire M3800-U3802A

On the one hand, the Acer Aspire M3800A-U3802A is a perfectly serviceable budget desktop. Its run-of-the-mill features don't set it apart from its competition, but neither does it have any glaring flaws that prompt us to warn you away. Its biggest problem is its competition, in the form of a...

Acer Aspire One AOD150

Despite owning a huge chunk of the growing Netbook market, the popular Acer Aspire One has been saddled with a 9-inch screen, rather than the bigger 10-inch type we prefer. At long last, Acer now has a 10-inch model, the Aspire One AOD150. Even better, it's keeping the starting price...

Acer Aspire X1700-U3700A

The Acer Aspire X1700-U3700A is the third system in Best Buy's recent lineup of budget PCs. We gave the other two releases (Dell Inspiron I530S-119B and eMachines ET1161-07) average marks for a lack of features and poor performance scores respectively, but the $480 Acer succeeds where the others fail, by...

Acer Aspire 8930-6448

The original Acer Aspire 8920 was the very first 18-inch laptop we had a chance to review, and the follow-up Acer Aspire 8930-6448 is similar in terms of its essentials, with only a handful of component upgrades. The display has the same native resolution as a 1080p HDTV; that coupled...

Acer Aspire 5920 (Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 2GB RAM, 200GB HDD, Vista Ultimate)

When we reviewed the Blu-ray-equipped Sony VAIO FZ180 a few months ago, we wondered how big the market for 15.4-inch, high-def laptop could really be. Apparently, the market is big enough to warrant an entry from the other side of the fence: the Acer Aspire 5920 incorporates...

Acer Aspire Revo AR1600-U910H

Typically our challenges with the emergent Nettop category have been that real budget PCs cost just a little bit more and provide a dramatic performance uptick, and similarly priced Netbooks offer equivalent performance with the added benefit of portability. The Aspire Revo 1600's price tag alone answers those issues. ...
