Heralding a new era away from bulky desktop or media centre PC units, the new Acer slim-line PC range promises an ultra small form factor without affecting the performance of the machines.
Acer says its new ‘notebook replacement’ desktop PCs are 10 times smaller and four times lighter than traditional desktops. Additionally, the PCs offer a cut in power consumption of up to 50 percent.

Quoting figures from IDC, Acer says small factor PC shipments worldwide are growing by about 45 percent, meaning consumers are clearly looking for a slim-line PC in the future.
The ‘notebook replacement range’ includes the AMD Athlon powered AcerPower 1000 which is aimed at small business and home office users. There is also the new media centre PC Acer Aspire L320, which features Intel Core 2 Duo processors and Vista Home Premium. Rounding out the range is a business-focuses model, the Acer Veriton 1000.
