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.
Common Questions (5)
Without modifications, it is limited to bus-powered GPUs that draw power only from the PCIe slot, roughly 75W max. Examples that fit this constraint include the GTX 1650, RX 6400, RTX 3050 6GB, and older GTX 1050 Ti; cards needing 6- or 8-pin power will not work with the stock PSU.
Yes, it is a strong value for a basic work machine because the i5-14400, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD are worth close to the asking price on their own. It is especially attractive if you do not need a discrete GPU and just want a ready-to-use desktop through the next few years.
Updating the BIOS is recommended because 13th- and 14th-gen Intel CPUs can be affected by motherboard heat issues. A better CPU cooler and fresh thermal paste can also help thermals, especially if the stock cooling is dusty or weak.
It has only two memory slots and both are already occupied, so moving to 32GB means replacing both sticks with 16GB modules. That makes the upgrade relatively expensive and may approach the cost of the whole system.
Yes, the i5-14400's Intel UHD 730 with Quick Sync is well suited for Plex, Jellyfin, and ARR setups. It can handle multiple simultaneous 4K hardware-accelerated transcodes while using very little power.
