Note that this is the normal every day price. It's always $360, Acer just jacked the price up to particpate in the BRANDS20 discount code. I looked at this a month ago at $360 and decided to not buy as the power supply doesn't have any connections for a graphics card.

It's definitely was not the every day price as I've been checking in every week for the last month & half or so and told myself I'd buy it when it hit $360, so I ordered it yesterday for my mother who's PC is having issues.

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

June prices are irrelevant, Ram and storage prices have continued to rise due to AI, and this trend is not stopping any time soon, fabs take too long to spin up, even in China. Apple can't get enough ram, and China's internal phone market is really screwed as they can't afford the premium. That being said unless you don't need a gpu, its best to get one that has one to benefit from oem bundled prices.

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.

  • The system can handle low-power, slot-powered GPUs for basic upgrades without adding extra GPU power cables.

    JasonSternRobotpenguin12

  • The Intel UHD 730 Quick Sync can support Plex or Jellyfin with an ARR stack for hardware-accelerated 4K transcoding.

    Bung

  • The included CPU, SSD, and RAM pricing can be reasonable for office or school use when compared with current market parts.

    BrainDoc

  • The desktop includes one M.2 NVMe slot and multiple SATA ports for storage expansion options beyond the initial SSD.

    Luigis3rdcousin

  • The proprietary Acer power supply and motherboard can limit GPU power draw to around 75W without modifications.

    Luigis3rdcousinJasonStern

  • The 300W PSU may be a tight fit for the system's estimated ~225W component draw, leaving little headroom for a GPU.

    Robotpenguin12

  • The PSU and motherboard design can require replacing the power supply, motherboard, and CPU cooler to make upgrades work well.

    TeeFourGee

  • The system may throttle CPU performance due to heat, which can reduce clock speeds under sustained load.

I wonder if it's a good option for a local media server/torrents etc
Yep. Great for plex/jellyfin server or arr stack. Intel UHD Graphics 730 with Quick Sync, which handles up to 8 or more simultaneous 4K hardware-accelerated video transcodes smoothly while using very little power.
