If you’re already bored with the UMPC craze, you may jump to another new craze. The Mini PC craze. Joining Dell and ASUS, Acer unveiled Aspire X1200, set to be the dynamic and sleek entertainment center.

Measuring just 10.4-inches (L) x 3.9-inches (W) x 12.4-inches (H), the small chassis can be fitted into every desk or living room, if you may. Even though carrying the low-energy consumption tagline, Aspire X1200 is equipped with pretty mean specifications that can be used for any multimedia purposes, even 3D gaming.

To become the media-hub in your home, Acer realizes that connectivity is the key point. Maybe that’s why they squezzed no less than 9 USB ports, 14-in-1 card reader, and HDMI connection into this small box. Wow, I don’t think many people have 9 USB devices, unless you want to use at least 3 mouses at the same time.

However the most attractive thing here is the pricing. Depending on the specifications, X1200 is priced at US$499 up to US$699.
