Acer Aspire X3200
$579.00
Released October, 2008
The Pros:Small form factor. Affordable price. Acceptable performance / capacity for the majority of consumers.
The Cons:Requires users to purchase a monitor separately. Multiple builds with the same name contain a wide variation of components - can be confusing to less informed consumers. Lots of crapware pre-installed.
