Looking to put a PC under the tree for less than a grand this holiday season? You just might be in luck.

Acer revealed the Acer Aspire Z3-600 all in one desktop PC. The Aspire Z3-600 is powered by an Intel Pentium J2850 processor, 4GB of RAM, integrated Intel graphics and “up to” 750GB of hard drive space, suggesting that the Aspire Z3-600 will indeed be configurable. Though the specs tell us that the Aspire Z3-600 is certainly no high-end powerhouse, it sounds like it could be a good fit for those whose computing needs primarily consist of web surfing, productivity and perhaps some light, mainstream gaming.

The Aspire Z3-600 also wields a 21.5-inch 1080p display, backed up by a hinge that tilts back up to 90 degrees. Connectivity options include USB 3.0, a pair of USB 3.0 ports as well as HDMI.

Here’s what Frank Chang, Acer America’s Director of Desktop Product Management, had to say about the Aspire Z3-600.

“Outfitted with a Full HD display and premium Harman Kardon speakers, it provides superb audio and visuals for movies, games and music. It’s also ergonomic. The flexible hinge allows it to be used in several positions from upright to tilted back or flat on a desk or lap, while gesture control enables commonly used OS functions to be controlled with hand gestures from several feet away.”

Though an exact release date hasn’t been revealed, the Acer Aspire Z3-600 is slated to hit the market sometime this month, with price tags starting at $779.

AMD RDNA 4: Everything we know about the RX 8000 series

AMD RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards.

AMD's RDNA 4 graphics cards (also referred to as the Radeon RX 8000 series) are already on the horizon, but they're still a bit of a mystery. Fortunately, while AMD is still keeping quiet about its next-gen GPUs, various leakers break up that silence with plenty of rumors and tantalizing speculation.

Most likely set to launch this year, RDNA 4 GPUs may give Nvidia a run for its money, but will they be able to compete against some of the best graphics cards from the upcoming RTX 50-series? This is one of the few things that leakers all agree on, and we'll tell you all about it in our full roundup of RDNA 4 news below.
