It must be the MSi Ae2050 on why Acer have their AZ5761 which predates MSi’s latest desktop release in terms of computing power. MSi’s Ae2050 runs on AMD’s latest e350 APU while the AZ5761 clocks Sandy Bridge processors from Intel. Now you get the choice of Core i5-2400s, Core i5-2500s, or Core i7-2600s CPUs and up to a 1.5TB SATA II HDD which is clearly for the enthusiasts who doesn’t want slowpokes.

I’ve been remembering my desktop which I own in my hometown. Bringing back the memories of gaming and is a great help in finishing my thesis when I was in college. Perhaps I’ll get this one if I get a hold of those super ultraportables like the samsung series 9 or a macbook air which is perfect for tech bloggers who’s always on the go.

Acer Desktops by the way are selling really really great in my own opinion. Reason for this is that the general public doesn’t know much on how to assemble a PC, a fact that you can save a little cash if you’re smart enough on integrating hardware devices.

Anyway I’m gonna end this one with the price tag of $1305 (roughly 56,000 in Php) a better choice than macbook if you want more power and if you’ll enjoy a 23-inch screen. And lastly for the gamers you can pick one  of the NVIDIA grapics card ( NVIDIA GeForce GT440, GT435M, or GT420 ) and it can support 8 players too since it has eight USB 2.0 ports. Availability will be on early May =).
