e700
Acer's e700 multimedia PC
The Aspire e700 is Acers new incremental (or evolutionary?) upgrade to its Multimedia Centre PC’s.

With the fastest available DDR2 memory and using Intel’s Core 2 Duo CPU’s which is up to 40% more energy efficient and of course better performing you get more power for less heat generation so the case fans can be smaller and quieter, crucial for a media centre PC.


Just like a TV the e700 can be turned on and off instantaneously courtesy of Intel’s Viiv technology. Other benefits Viiv gives the e700 is faster storage speeds and improved (integrated) graphics among a myriad of multimedia based enhancements.

The e700 also features a 9 in 1 media reader and it also has optional wireless LAN. It also features a hard drive that can be up to 400gb and a dual layer DVD burner.

Whoa, awesome specs. Hope it becomes available here. For sure other brands will follow and try to outdo Acer.

I've always been a bit hesitant towards Acer, but then again I'm not a fan of pre-built PCs anyway. Doesn't seem too bad, but nothing beats building your own.

@Brian Well the lack of a proper on board video card is disheartening but at least they left room for one with the PCIe slot...

Yeah, nothing does Jimbo

Not bad at all, though the Acer brand turns me off. I've had far too many bad encounters with it that I doubt I'll ever buy another Acer product unless it's cheap and pretty much guaranteed from failure.

Their hardware is okay, but if anything goes wrong I find you have a helluva time with their customer service/warranty. This applies to BENQ as well, though I'm not sure about their overall product standard. I've only purchased one product, and it was pretty bad.
