Reviews of the Acer Aspire X1700-U3700A

    CNET Review

    February 4, 2009

    The Good: Space-saving design; includes unique extras such as HDMI video, digital audio output, and eSATA port.

    The Bad: Competition offers faster performance; a cramped interior limits expansion.

    The Bottom Line: The Acer X1700-U3700A is slightly slower than the competition, but it gives you almost every component you need in either a basic desktop or a light-duty home theater PC. If you prefer functionality to performance, we recommend this model out of the three systems in the current lineup.
