All the same, I applaud Acer's makeover of the desktop PC, reservation about its build quality notwithstanding. The slim tower form-factor is functional, and can be fitted into more places. Hopefully, AMD & Nvidia will release more low-prof cards (like the recent 4670). But this is basically a plain vanilla box with a BD drive. Acer needs to add functions specific to its machines' intended role to make them stand out, which in this case is HTPC use.]]>Oct 13th 2008 2:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/13/acers-ax3200-is-the-little-blu-ray-pc-that-could-has-a-1080p-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/13/acers-ax3200-is-the-little-blu-ray-pc-that-could-has-a-1080p-l/Oct 13th 2008 12:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/13/acers-ax3200-is-the-little-blu-ray-pc-that-could-has-a-1080p-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/13/acers-ax3200-is-the-little-blu-ray-pc-that-could-has-a-1080p-l/

wait...what? integrated?]]>Oct 13th 2008 1:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/13/acers-ax3200-is-the-little-blu-ray-pc-that-could-has-a-1080p-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/13/acers-ax3200-is-the-little-blu-ray-pc-that-could-has-a-1080p-l/
But with Acer "support". I bought the Acer Aspire x1200, pretty much the same thing without blu-ray and a slower CPU. About a week after I bought it, Acer issued a BIOS update via email and notification software that killed HDMI sound. Their "support" didn't and couldn't do anything about this, even with dozens of people complaining. I've never been so regretful about buying a computer before in my life. It's seriously nice little computer perfect as a HTPC, but unfortunately comes from a company that has no idea how to serve their customers. BTW, about 3 months later someone figured out that they had reissued that BIOS update without the HDMI sound bug, but failed to let anyone know or announce it publicly. Buyer beware!

There are some good Blu-Ray movies out there. The Godfather trilogy comes out in a week or two, Planet Earth is also pretty good, and actually delivers a better experience in HD.

If you're in the EU, you could also get PlayTV and be pretty much on-par feature-wise with Windows Media Centre (which I have to say is superb. One of my biggest regrets when I switched to OSX was the lack of WMC - Front Row doesn't cut it, but that's another story). ]]>Oct 13th 2008 1:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/13/acers-ax3200-is-the-little-blu-ray-pc-that-could-has-a-1080p-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/13/acers-ax3200-is-the-little-blu-ray-pc-that-could-has-a-1080p-l/Oct 13th 2008 1:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/13/acers-ax3200-is-the-little-blu-ray-pc-that-could-has-a-1080p-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/13/acers-ax3200-is-the-little-blu-ray-pc-that-could-has-a-1080p-l/Oct 13th 2008 2:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/13/acers-ax3200-is-the-little-blu-ray-pc-that-could-has-a-1080p-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/13/acers-ax3200-is-the-little-blu-ray-pc-that-could-has-a-1080p-l/
