Acer Aspire L310

Compact. Fairly loaded system. Minimal bloatware. Built-in Wi-Fi. Vista Home Premium including Aero support. Decent price for a Core 2 Duo powered system

System fans put out constant noise. External power brick. Only 90-day antivirus subscription. No TV tuner in tested configuration

A small-form-factor PC in the HP Slimline and Mac mini vein, the Acer Aspire L310 is one to consider for design mavens and the space-constrained user. It's got a lot going for it, but a couple of shortcomings keep it from being great.

Good performance for productivity, media apps; compact; built-in Wi-Fi

No internal expansion; upgrading RAM requires replacing existing memory

Double your display real estate by adding a second monitor. It's a snap: Here's how

low cost for components, sleek and small system

slightly awkward power button, not designed for upgrading (neither truly cons for the system's purpose)

Powerful.

Only accepts 2 gb max RAM Memory.

Very functional and I love the size.

None yet.

Very good looking, Feature Rich, Very Compact,

Comes with Windows XP Media Center Edition. Since all new PCs come with Windows Vista we would have liked it to come with Windows Vista Home Premium that has the media center functionality.

Small Form Factor, Sleek, Stylish

Poor Performance, 512 MB RAM, Wired Keyboard & Mouse, Expensive

Bought this a week back from Amazon, delivered real quick even with Super Saver shipping. Set-up - Does not need much effort to set up. The Vista compatibility issues looks like largely sorted out, worked just fine with my HP printer and BT Home Hub...

This is a great computer package and excellent value. Was a bit nervous about getting an item with no other customer reviews but took a chance and am glad I did. It comes with a slinky little hardrive (that looks kind of cheap in the photo), but isn't....
