Hi, I'm Rich Brown, senior editor, for CNET.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Acer Aspire X1920-UR20P. So, this is actually a pretty terrible budget desktop sad to say. The case is pretty decent. It's a nice simple design, relatively clean here with a DVD burner by the front door there, few ports midi card reader down here, but the problem is that the system really sort of underfeatured even for its low price. You can find it for about $400 to $500 depending on where you look comes with the recently fast Intel Pentium dual-core chip. They're still Pentiums. It has 4 gigs of Ram, a terabyte hard drive, and that's about it. The system is really pretty spare and you can get better equipped PCs for the same price so we really cannot recommend you buy this system. Now, the back of the case we think we mean when we say how underfeatured is this. You've got 5.1 audio support, only 2 USB ports, a single Ethernet jack, old school PS2, mass and keyboard inputs as well as a VGA video out. There's no digital audio, no digital video, no Firewire or eSATA, LAN, USB3 and you can find those features at least in some combination on other desktops in this price range particularly Gateway, which is actually ironic since Acer owns Gateway. So inside of the case, the layout is pretty straightforward for a Slim Tower. There's the Intel CPU here. You can see here's the DVD drive. Underneath that is the hard drive. There is room for only 1 hard drive inside. Down here, you kind of can't see if there's 2 memory sticks, not 4 memory sticks slots like you get on some other PCs. For card expansion, the system has no cards, but there is a 1x PCI Express slot. There was a 16x PCI Express slot so you could put say half height graphics card in this PC, but we wouldn't even recommend this as an upgrade platform just because it's really pretty underpowered and underfeatured as we've mentioned. Now, we don't always expect Slim Towers to deliver let's say the fastest performance or the most features for the dollar, but the fact that they're such tiny cases, this really makes them well suited both the desktop environments in the living room. You can imagine putting system like this next to your TV is a pretty decent home media server, but with no wifi adaptor or no digital video that really makes the system tough to recommend for the living room environment. You can also get better bank for your buck in terms of performance in this price range, so for both those reasons we can recommend you buy the system. I'm Rich Brown, this is the Acer Aspire X1920-UR20P.

You'll probably decide pretty quickly whether you like the Acer Aspire Predator's looks. Those in favor will also find a higher-end gaming PC with reasonably fast performance and plenty of room to expand and upgrade. Not everyone will appreciate the Predator's visual charms, but we recommend this PC to those who do.
The Acer Aspire X1200-U1520A is a speedy, compact, low-end desktop that's powerful enough to serve as a light-duty home theater PC. Expansion is limited by an especially cramped interior (even for a small PC), but the total package is worthwhile for PC shoppers on a budget.
With a slim, MacBook-Air-like design at a reasonable price, the Acer Aspire S3 is an example of how the ultrabook laptop category can work if done right.
The fully equipped, multimedia-minded Acer Aspire 9500 gives pricey, entertainment-focused desktop replacements a serious run for their money.
The unexciting yet inexpensive Acer Aspire 5000 is a decent desktop-replacement laptop for basic home and small business use.
The large, 20-inch Acer Aspire 9800 offers a decent multimedia experience, but you'd be better off buying a more portable laptop and a detached display.
Gateway's SX2800-01 offers a strong combination of performance and features all wrapped up in a design that fully embraces the merits of a slim tower PC. We recommend this system to anyone looking for a fast, affordable desktop for the home office, the living room, or anywhere in between.
Acer's Aspire Z5700 is a fast, media-friendly all-in-one that would serve well as a media hub in a dorm or a den. We'd like to see a bit more polish in its design, and a Blu-ray drive would make it a home run, but on balance we can recommend this system for its speed, its large screen, and its digital media versatility.
The Acer P241w delivers a high brightness at the cost of color depth and a deep black level. Its low price, good overall performance, and decent connection options make it a recommended choice for the office user.

The $550 Acer Aspire V5-171-6867 is a budget-shopper's dream, provided you can live with a compromised battery life.
Acer Aspire X1920-UR20P - P E6700 3.2GHz Review
The good: The Acer Aspire X1920-UR20P features an unobtrusive new case design.
The bad: This system suffers from an underwhelming configuration for its price, particularly in its weak external connectivity options.
The bottom line: The Acer Aspire X1920-UR20P is a poorly configured, overpriced budget desktop with little to recommend it. Look instead to Acer's Gateway subsidiary for better slim-tower options.
