The Acer Aspire M3400 is the first in the region to be equipped with the AMD Phenom X6 1055T six-core processor, which is ideal for multi-tasking, streaming videos and gaming.

When not multi-tasking, however, AMD's Turbo Core technology kicks in to reduce the frequency of three (or more) cores so as to boost the performance for the remaining ones. And it smartly shifts back to full-throttle for all six cores when you need to multi-task.

The computer is equipped with an ATI Radeon 5570 1GB dedicated RAM with direct-X 11 support, and you get a generous storage capacity of 1TB.

Looks-wise, the Aspire is elegant - comprising a scratch-resistant mesh exterior, a front-opening swappable hard disk drive bay, and a blue, illuminated top-facing power button.
