This is not the Acer Aspire XC-895’s first rodeo. We featured this exact machine in our previous desktop PCs group test (see issue 317, p76), and despite advances in technology elsewhere it holds its three-star rating. The TL; DR version is this: if you genuinely have only £399 to spend on a new desktop PC, the Aspire XC-895 will do. But we have many caveats.
