Acer Aspire T180

Acer Aspire T180
Full Set Tower Front Speakers

review

The Acer Aspire T180 is a bargain-basement PC, with a price of only $379 (direct) before monitor. It has a certain value, at least to users who don't need much from a computer. You can use it to surf the Web and do homework and basic computing tasks. It's an okay choice for the modest computer user (or one who was excited by the idea of a $99 Zonbu PC), but there are better choices for only about $100 more.

Bottom Line

The Acer Aspire T180 is one of the least expensive PCs we've seen. But unless your needs are extremely modest, I suggest you spend an extra hundred dollars to get a system that will stay current longer.

Pros

Cheap. Nice design. Lots of expansion space. No bloatware.

Cons

Hobbled by a single-core processor compared with competitors.
