Product Review
Specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 (2.66 GHz), 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM, 750 GB Standard, NVIDIA GeForce GT 230, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit Edition, Personal computer
The Good:
Best performance in its price category; decent budget gaming PC.
The Bad:
Clunky exterior you'll want to hide under a desk.
The Bottom Line:
Acer's Aspire M5800-U5802A could use some visual polish, but get past its appearance and you'll find a fast, affordable computer that will handle any task you care to throw at it. It's even a decent low-end gaming box. We'd only recommend against this desktop if you demand a computer's appearance match its capabilities.
