Maybe when you looked it happen to be $360, but it was definitely not the every day price.

Community Reviews
This refurb Acer Aspire looks strongest as a budget office, school, or media server PC, with an i5 14400, 16GB of DDR5, and a 1TB SSD that make the $360 price feel reasonable for the core parts alone. The Intel UHD 730 and Quick Sync also make it appealing for Plex or Jellyfin, with hardware accelerated 4K transcoding and light gaming like Roblox. The main limits are the proprietary 300W power supply, no extra GPU power cables, and only two occupied memory slots, so upgrades are constrained. It is best suited to stock use or low power expansion.
Upgraders comfortable with low-power graphics cards, because the system can take slot-powered GPUs and some 75W cards without major modification.
Office and school buyers who just need a dependable everyday PC, because the CPU, SSD, and 16GB RAM make it a solid work machine through 2028.
Home media server builders running Plex or Jellyfin, because Intel UHD 730 Quick Sync can handle multiple 4K hardware-accelerated transcodes while using very little power.
People replacing an aging desktop, because the 14th-gen i5 delivers a big jump over older CPUs and the refurb can be a straightforward swap-in.
Gamers wanting a stronger graphics card, because the proprietary power supply lacks extra GPU connectors and the system is generally limited to 75W slot-powered cards.
Builders planning a major internal upgrade path, because the proprietary motherboard and power supply can force adapter work and extra parts that erase the value.
Multitaskers who need more than 16GB of memory, because both RAM slots are already filled and moving to 32GB requires expensive 16GB modules.
Users expecting a plug-and-play gaming tower, because most games will not run well on the integrated graphics alone.
