What can I do to get you into a new Acer Aspire X3 or M3 Series PC? I can’t go lower on price – my manager is already busing my stones about dropping the price down to $449.99 – but how about I throw in a “space-saving chassis” and mention they’re an “appealing addition to a dorm, bedroom or home office.” No? Still nothing?
Look, the X3 series is the high-end stuff, a good, strong machine. This M3, though has only been driven one-hundred and ten thousand miles by somebody I know personally who changed the graphics cards regularly. You can get an Intel or AMD processor to go with your X series or a nice AMD processor for M3. You’ve heard bad things about foreign processors? Where? Consumer Reports? They lie. They lie all the time.
Can we go into my office, sit down, have some coffee? Talk this over? I think we can make a deal.
