Advantages: Small, Lightweight, Stylish
Disadvantages: Onboard Graphics Card, Noisy

Acer have been the manufacturers to millions of computers in households all around the world, and great expectations are on them every time they release a new desktop, so does this one carry the standard forward. Well- Yes and No. The good things about this computer is the general speedy feeling throughout, with the AMD 3400+ easily meeting the demand for speed for todays general applications. The AMD Processor gives power where you need it, and ...
...Upgrade with another 512 Stick of RAM, Would improve performance and stability somewhat. The down side to this PC, is that it is abit noisy, and I wouldn't recommend it if your looking for a Silent PC to be left on whilst sleeping, etc. Another dissapointment is the lack of a physical graphics card. The T160 comes equipped with an onboard Nvidia 6100 which can only withstand some of todays games. Games like Doom3 would not be able to play smoothly ... Read review

Advantages: Compact Form Factor, Fast, Inexpensive
Disadvantages: Monitor Not Included, Wasteful Packing Material

Acer SA85's have become my system of choice when recommending systems to education and small business, this particular model provides a superb mix of speed, reliability and value for money. I first came in contact with Acer S85's through work, since we stopped buying from one provider and need to look for someone new. We started buying SA85's from Insight because they were cheap - they have proven better than expected. Packaging ~~~~~~~~ The SA85 ...
...a stock of them although Acer have offered to make good on it if you provide them with a receipt. The huge catch is there is no display, by default this system is supplied sans display, which provides some confusion to some customers (particularly the ones that don't or can't read my handwriting) Design ~~~~~ The base unit itself is a compact box, the power, suspend and HDD/Optical activity lights are displayed as symbols on the top front of the ...

Advantages: Inexpensive, stylish looks, easily upgradeable
Disadvantages: Rubbish speakers, could have more RAM

...and word processing on the Acer machine. Not long after I got it, I did upgrade the RAM, but that's easy and cheap to put another 1GB in yourself from eBay, only costs around £40. I also upgraded the video card for around £100, but then you've got a good processor, high enough RAM to run Windows Vista and good games and also a good graphics card to be able to play games at higher resolutions, but still the computer and the upgrades is a lot less ...
...good brand and have been getting better over the years and they do built inexpensive, but good quality machines. My Aspire T120e did me very good for a number of years and is still going strong with someone else. The only bad point is the rubbish speakers (although nicely powered by USB so no need for an extra power socket) mine never worked out of the box, but I wouldn't use them anyway cos they don't have much power. I bought the Packard Bell ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, Powerful Budget Computer
Disadvantages: Hard Drive can be a bit noisy

...value for the price. Acer have made it very easy to overclock the CPU and RAM speeds via the BIOS, and my computer easily handles an increase from the 200Mhz sidebus up to 225Mhz, which brought the CPU speed up to 2.0Ghz without any increase in temperature or instability. However i would reccomend further cooling and a bigger power supply just to be safe if you want to take it further than this. The only downside to this PC (and i'm not sure if ...
...that the Hard Disk is very noisy at times. It really is quite noisy, especially when scanning or transferring files, and seeing as my pc only has 256mb of ram it uses the hard disk more. However, it is easy to drown out the sound of the HD, i just put the tower in a cupboard and i put music on whilst i'm using the pc. The onboard Realtek AC97 audio controller is very good; what many people don't realise is that you can configure the 3 ports to incorporate ... Read review
