Advantages: good look, relatively cheap, dvd burner, 160gb hdd
Disadvantages: not enough RAM, processor isnt that good

Advantages: Fast, reliable, good graphics, excellent motherboard, runs silently
Disadvantages: Sometimes expensive

...these computers are; my latest acer is a 3 year old notebook and it has only totally broken down once, and that was due to a hard drive failure. They also tend to react and output data very fast, with low waiting times for opening several applications, and the graphics of the computer are that which can withstand the power-hungry games of today's world, such as World Of Warcraft or Call Of Duty 4.

...can leave both of my Acer computers running through the night and I still get a restful sleep without waking up to any annoying noises. The motherboard in Acers are excellent in my opinion.

The only solution would be to reinstall the operating system - something that is tricky on this computer, as no install disk is provided! I eventually resorted to acquiring my own install disk, ...
...the lack of expansion options. There are no true graphics slots (AGP or PCI-E), so the best dedicated graphics card I could fit was the nVidia 6200 PCI. This is a very basic card and does not allow games with advanced graphics to be played, which was a problem for me. There are no extra slots for further hard drives either. Overall, the system is very good for a basic user, particularly for families who require a simple, relatively cheap personal ... Read review

Advantages: easily configurable (Dell website)
Disadvantages: Lousy monitor, average processor

...this machine (as with most dell computers). Dell's Web site offers a wide choice of options to suit your every need. If speed is important to you I suggest you configure this machine with a faster processor. However, the extra cost associated with a better processor will only be worthwhile if it is definitely required. If the machine is only intended for home use (email, online shopping, general surfing etc.) the processor already provided will be ... Read review

Disadvantages: Can't really think of any.

Hello, my name is charlie and i'm 10 years old and i got this PC for my 10th birthday. And my parents said that they'd get me it for xmas but they gave it to me early!!!

I think it is particularly good when it come to playing HIGH graphical games because I play the sims 2 on it and I think it works wonderfully, because its got high sound and ... Read review
