Bought tower to upgrade existing equipment
My old cpu could no longer cope so I bought this tower (with keyboard and mouse.) compatible with my old speakers, monitor etc. now everything's working so much faster, no memory problems. Fan is a bit loud when it comes on but doesn't bother me. Slimline and smaller so fits easily in the old place.

All good!
So far so good. This was bought for work, basically office software and Internet. The only concern was (obviously Windows needs updating straight away) and during one of these updates it displayed an error and dropped me into the Bios. Thankfully I'm a bit of geek so it just concerned me rather than freaked me out entirely, so I just quit the bios without saving and rebooted. It booted up OK with no problems after that, so I'm guessing it was just a Windows update issue but seems to have resolved it's own issue. After that issue it's been working without problems for a couple of weeks. Seems like a good office computer. I've had two Acer Aspire laptops before now over many years and both have lasted a long time so hopefully this will be the same.

Great product.
I bought the desktop PC to replace my previous PC which was several years old. I'm so pleased that I did. It's much quicker than the old one, & has many more features than my previous one, which make it a pleasure to use.

As expected.
Recently bought one. Occasionally boots with no taskbar forcing a restart, sometimes several times. Fan is noisy.
