Consumer review by:

The Acer Aspire ASE380 is not a pc i would recommend to anyone! ”

 

The Acer Aspire ASE380 is not a pc I would recommend to anyone! Mine shut itself off after the warranty ran out & will not come back on. No power what so ever! Now they tell me for them to fix it, it would cost me almost $200.00 for them to diagnose it...

Consumer review by:

Great price, good computer. ”

 

I recently bought my "reconditioned" Acer from Buy.com and am very happy with it. I upgraded the memory and that's it. No problems at all with this one and I'd highly recommend it. If you are looking for really high tech, you'll need to upgrade a...

A must see for your next pc ”

 

I bought this product "open box" I did not have a manual that comes with it normally. I had no problem finding a replacement from Acer's website. This system was well thought out and I have not seen the normal misdesigns rampant in the PC market.If you...

Acer Aspire E380 UD440A AMD Desktop PC - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 2.2GHz, 2GB DDR2, 320GB SATA HDD, DL (ASE380-UD440)

Consumer review by:

Solid, quick, low cost PC

 

responsive, quiet, nice case with drive rails, ubuntu linux installed easily, decent keyboard

Hard drive is a tiny bit loud, but it's good that the other components are quiet enough that you can hear the HD. No OS cd included

Consumer review by:

good buy

 

no problems with system no issues setting up vista definately like the bigger hardrive and faster processor

I really never liked vista I am trying to find a way to downgrade to XP pro not the 64bit no drivers for that os

Consumer review by:

Good price, solid computer

 

Vista really isn't a problem with these specs; I haven't had any performance problems so far.

A really great deal, everything works out of the box

The only thing that's somewhat lacking is the graphics card, which you may have to replace before you buy a new rig if you like to play recently-made computer games. Don't let that deter you though, this is still a great system and graphics cards...

Excellent office PC

 

I bought this PC to replace a prehistoric PC in friend's dental office. It works great as a front desk PC which runs a practice managing software, MS office, and is used by the office assistant to log onto myspace :). Aero is a bit slow, because of the...

No installation manuals at all! If you are total computer noob, you may need an advice from an expert to set up the machine. Printed manuals just tell you how to place you PC on the desk and about safe work practices :0. DVD-RW cable in my PC was not...

Acer Aspire ASE380-ED422A Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2GB DDR2 250GB NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Windows Vista Home Premium

 

Great pc for the price. Lots of ram, fast processor, cool blue neon light in front. Vista runs much smoother than I thought it would. No problems at all. Very happy

Acer doesnt give you any os disk, everything comes pre-installed and you make your own "back up" disc with the acer program. This isnt a problem, but you dont have the option to do a windows repair if anything should happen. You have to do a complete...

Good value, converting to XP not as easy as I would have liked

 

I failed to get dual monitors working with the onboard nVidia graphics and pre-installed ATi card. Acer provides XP drivers on their website. There's also a new Bios and an easy Flash utility. The Bios has a setting for dual monitors. Configuring the...

Overall good value. The USB keyboard has a nice spring feel, better than I'd expect in a mid-range packaged system. My system came with a Hitachi (IBM) Deskstar SATA drive. The case has a sliding front panel that slides down to expose the front audio,...

I was surprised not to find any CD in the box. The speakers are inferior to my old eMachines speakers ; I brought the system up once as a Vista machine, just to make sure it worked, then replaced the power supply and HD, and installed XP Pro with my...
