An Intel Based Desktop From ASUS For Under $500

The desktop computer market continues to shrink as people switch over to mobile computers and tablets. It doesn't help that Intel's budget oriented processors based on the Ivy Bridge still haven't made it to market nearly half a year after its introduction. Still, consumers can still find some desktop PCs for under $500 that are based on the past generation of Intel processors which still offer solid performance. ASUS continues to grow its presence in the desktop market and prices have dropped on their Intel Core i3 based desktop. So, is the ASUS a good option for those on a tight budget? Find out in my review of the ASUS Essentio CM6730-US-2AD desktop.
