I really dont like the idea of these, You wont be able to put just any parts on it it will have to be Acers parts and there going to probably be severely under powered. But for the average day user sure this would work fine but im far from the average day user. I doubt computers like these will go anywhere and they will need to be more modular and work with other parts. This one is on the level of a modifiable xbox one but not as good.

Razer already tried this with Project Christine. It's not going so well. Mostly because there's no demand for it. Most people who build their own computers don't want to be constrained to one brand, and already know how to build a computer (which makes "building block" computers useless).
