Offering Quality, Cost-Optimized Systems since 1992

PowerSpec is registered trademark of Micro Electronics, Inc. Founded in 1979, Micro Electronics and its subsidiaries have a long history of innovation in the PC industry. PowerSpec products are available primarily at Micro Center retail stores and the MicroCenter.com online store.

Like hundreds of others, the PowerSpec® PC product line was originally developed as an inexpensive alternative to the IBM PC. Later, the competitors became exclusively other "clones." Today the competition includes the new breed of lower-cost Name Brand systems, direct sellers of computers and a very select group of comparable-quality compatibles. Generally this class of system is recognized by second and third-time computer buyers as worth the investment, and PowerSpec is the price-performance leader.

More for Less.
PowerSpec is established on the simple concept of More for Less. The creators of the brand envisioned saving the "techno-savvy" computer buyer substantial money in three ways:

• Offer simple configurations, and mainstream technology, so customers don't pay for either what they don't need or what's too expensive now because it's too cutting edge
• Make sure all components are the lowest cost for an acceptably high standard of quality, that cost decreases are relentlessly pursued and the savings quickly passed on to customers
• Drive down manufacturing costs and eliminate extra expense layers - large manufacturing overheads and resellers' markups are just not part of the PowerSpec formula
