+ Incredibly fast and easy to use (as long as you are familiar with Vista) with plenty of storage spread over 2 internal hard drives this acer pc is a perfect set up if you are looking for an entertainment unit for watching movies, blu-ray or gaming. Comes with 8 usb inputs and an HDMI out for blu ray movies. I have only had this pc for around a month so cannot comment on it's long term life but so far it is difficult to find fault with this product (other than wireless support). Recommended.

- No internal wireless support so you will need to buy a usb plug in to connect to your router. I did this and it connected instantly and was easy to install so only a minor gripe but you expect a pc of this quality to come fitted with internal wireless connectivity. As with most mid-range pc's the onboard software is incredibly limited. Just the things you need to get you started are included in this package.

+ More than enough memory for a 32-bit vista operating system. Superb Processing power. Ample hard drive. Stylish design. Ample usb ports. Quick start-up time. Great value for money.

- Specified hard drive capacity not as large as stated, roughly 600gb in comparison to the advertised, 640gb, (also stated on processor). This wikll vary per machine, but 40gb difference is quite substantial. Only one power port, needed for graphics cards and such, so if high performance graphics card wished to be equipped, a new power supply woukld have to be installed in computer. Although a great computer, lifetime of acer computers in general is questionable.

+ Design, number of accessable usb ports, processor and memory.

- Upgradeability, if you need to install a new graphics card you will need to buy a more powerful PSU.

+ Good clear screen, graphics very good. All round excellent machine for general every day use, browsing internet, organising music, videos etc and playing basic games.

- The on/off switch is a bit awkward to use, doesn't always switch off first time and you have to press quite hard.

+ I love all the storage and the memory is great too, I've had more windows open at once than in any other computer I've owned. There are more USB plugs than it says. The processor is excellent for me. I know there are better faster processors out there, but it has made my internet appear faster than my previous computer and that makes me happier than any other benefit of an efficient processor.

- It is large and bulky. I didn't know they made PCs big like this anymore. I thought they were all space-saving these days. Luckily, I was able to make room for it. Because of its size, I have to store it under my desk where it is dark, and it is black which makes it difficult to find the power button to turn it on and off. Still not sure why it is so big. There are loads of PCs with the same level of features that take up a lot less space. Why are they even making them this size anymore?
