The kids may be out enjoying the delights of summer, but computer manufacturing giant Acer is eager to grab the attention and loosen the purse strings of parents already preparing for the inevitable expenses associated with returning to the schooling calendar.

More pointedly, Acer has rolled out three fresh Aspire-branded entrants for its bulging PC portfolio, all of which come with multimedia features, HDMI ports, FireWire support, DVD burners and Windows Vista, and are being billed as perfect hardware candidates for home-based and school-based users.
First up is the respectably cheap Aspire M3800, which costs just $450 USD and carries an Intel Pentium E5200 CPU (2.5GHz), 4GBs of RAM, an integrated Intel GMA X4500 graphics solution, and a 640GB hard drive. The M3800 also has expansion capabilities thanks to a PCI Express slot and an x16 graphics card slot.
Straddling the extremes in terms of pricing, the Aspire X3810 is a small form PC tower attached to a retail price of $540 USD. Armed with the same Intel Pentium E5200 processor as the M3800, 4GBs of RAM and a 320GB hard disk drive, the X3810 also comes complete with a 20-inch widescreen monitor, integrated Intel GMA X4500 graphics and an eSATA port for storage expansion via an external drive.
The slightly more pocket-testing Aspire M5800 rounds out the new offerings and comes equipped with an Intel Core 2 Quad 9400 processor (2.66GHz), up to 8GBs of RAM, and a data storage ceiling of up to 750GBs through a conventional hard disk drive. Attached to a price of $800 USD, the M5800 also includes the solid performance of NVIDIA’s GeForce GT230 graphics card (1.5GB dedicated) and Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) wireless connectivity.
