My laptop had broken for the thrid time, and I thought rather than pay yet again have a look round for a new one.
I saw this beauty at 429, including a 19 inch flatscreen monitor. It all looked very stylish and I couldn't wait to set it up. It was from currys, and they let me have norton anti virus alf price. and Microsoft office for £59 . It comes in black and black alone, and the acer logi is written in nice silver lettering on the front. The card reader is in the front, and is easily accesable.
The place where you put dvds in is upright which is a novelty, this is a good space saving idea. There is one major disadvantage to this however, if you have the smaller cds they don't stay put long enough as they fall out of the tray. I suppose technically I could lay the tower on its side, but after paying this price it should be better than this. It has 9 usb ports, 4 at the front and five at the back. It also has a card reader, which can read most memory cards used in digital cameras apart from those from mobile phones. It has an hdmi socket, so you can connect it through a hd tv.
Specifications of the pc are as follows. I'm not techniaccly minded so I just presume there pretty good. Comes with windows vista prenium pre installed, with a free upgrade to windows 7 when that comes out. There's no wireless card, so it would be hard to make a wireless network with other pcs around the house. It came without an instruction manual, though was easy to put together. It came with a picture, which compared to some manuals may actually be a better idea, and saves confusion.
CPU 8550 AMD PHENON X3 (processor)
3GB DDR2 MEMORY (ram)
320 GB HARD DRIVE
SUPER MULTI DRIVE
NVIDIA GEFORCE 8200 (graphics card)

Also included in the price is a 12 month on site peace of mind gaurentee, if anything goes wrong currys will come round and repair it at home if possible. There's a free 60 day trial of office 2007 and McCaffe Internet security trial. also for 60 days.

I have had this pc a couple of months now and have had no problems with it. I wouldn't switch back to my old laptop again, this does the job and does it well. I use an 02 stick to connect to the net, and this works well on the pc, which was a relief. The best pc I've had, (yes I would say so!)
