Acer Aspire M5100

Looking for a powerful yet reasonably priced desktop computer to do multimedia tasks? The Acer Aspire M5100 (AM5100-EF9500A) ($699 list) will fill that bill. It's a budget-minded PC with a quad-core 2.2-GHz AMD Phenom 9500 processor, 3GB of RAM, and a...

Inexpensive PC with HDMI output. Quad-core CPU. FireWire port. Hidden media card reader. Some decent styling and design choices. Eight USB ports. Front USB ports are intelligently organized. It's at Costco

Loaded with bloatware. Integrated graphics are not DX10 hardware compatible. Quad-core CPU is wasted with 690 chipset and 667-MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Acer's Aspire M5100 puts quad-core Phenom power in a sub-$750 desktop. It provides a little more oomph than your basic budget desktop.

Acer Aspire M5100

Have always brought Acer but not any more as beleive this was mis-sold. Shame as have enjoyed previous purchases. Otherwise this is a reasonable PC.

Good speed for price

The HDMI function on this box does not work because it is disabled due to the installation of a very low quality dedicated graphics card. HDMI is plastered all over the box and stickered to the box which frankly seems fairly fraudualent to me

For the price it's pretty nice. ”

Acer Aspire AM5100 -EF9500A

Have received excellent customer service from Newegg

Absolutely delighted with this PC. Out of box perfect solution to my need for heavy Graphic. Added Visa 64 and 8G memory

Have found not any Cons as yet. Removed a considerable number of free programs that Acer included, however for many this is a very generous and interesting collection
