Size matters. The new Acer Aspire X3 and Aspire XC desktop PCs and KG Series monitors reflect this, but for different reasons. As small as a desktop tower can be, the X3 and XC desktops pack big performance and connectivity. On the other hand, the KG Series monitors boast big performance, tear-free Full HD gaming for a small price.
Aspire X3 and Aspire XC
Don’t be deceived by the compact form factor of the new Acer duo, as they pack performance whether you’re at work or play. Furnished with eye-pleasing curves, metallic finishing and styling, the towers comfortably sit on a desktop without taking up valuable table real estate.

The latest Wi-Fi 802.11ac networking ensures you’re connected quicker.
For gaming, they feature discrete graphics, with up to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745.
Both come with Acer Care Center for comprehensive management and support, Acer BYOC Apps for easy access to your data on the go.
The Aspire X3 offers an optional Wireless Charging Deck (Qi charging) for cable-free charging of your mobile devices.
