Reviews of the Acer Aspire M3800-U3802A

CNET Review
The Good: Relatively strong bang-for-the-buck in its core features; midtower case allows room for upgrades.
The Bad: Faster PCs available for just a few dollars more; no 24-7 phone support.
The Bottom Line: Despite its quirky case design, Acer's Aspire M3800-U3802A is an affordable, feature-competitive midtower that you might find appealing if you're in the market for a cost-effective desktop to use for upgrading. If you want the best PC for your dollar, you can spend just a bit more on another system and get much faster performance.
