Excellent Computer for the Money - Fast and Efficient
By StuInCalif
After doing research on the Internet and reading the previous reviews, I decided to still take a chance and bought this computer anyway because my main home/office computer has an Acer motherboard and I've had trouble free use from it for over three years now.This unit did not let me down and delivered on every level. It was purchased as an upgrade for my six-year old computer at my vacation residence, and while that computer was still working faithfully, it was slow running certain programs. This new Acer unit makes up for that in spades! By using PC Mover, I was able to transfer everything from the old computer to this one in a few hours, and outside of a few programs (specifically Microsoft products, Nero, and a couple of others), everything moved flawlessly. I took a couple of the peripherals out of the old computer - video card, sound card and an additional DVD/CD Writer and installed them into this new system in less than an hour. Windows 7 found them instantly and updated all the necessary drivers to get them to work. It's now 24 hours since I finished the upgrade/transfer and I'm using the computer right now to write this review.The drawbacks? OK, there are three. One is that if you are not computer literate and you are upgrading your previous system to this one, you should have a computer specialist do it for you. PC Mover is a great program but it's not perfect and leaves behind some software like antivirus programs and others that need to be reinstalled, and usually all the drivers for devices like printers, general USB devices, and internally added peripherals like sound and video cards. Because I'm familiar with how to handle these specific situations, this was not a major issue for me, except for the time involved. It did take me the better part of a full day to have PC Mover transfer everything, check and reinstall the software and peripherals, and then set up the system the way I wanted it to be. The second drawback - and this is VERY minor - is because this was a midrange computer, there were only two available PCI slots. One had the wireless PC adaptor, but because I have a LAN cable connection to my router, I was able to remove the wireless card and use that slot for one of the peripherals I moved from the previous computer. There are also two PCI Express slots available - a 1x and 16x - for enhanced graphics or anything else that requires PCI-E, which is excellent. The final drawback is that there is hardly any documentation that accompanies this system. The paperwork enclosed in the box is the basic stuff to get you going, but that's it. There is some documentation stored in a pdf file in the Acer directory on the hard drive, but it is very generic and not that helpful in terms of determining what exactly is inside the case or adding peripherals later on. It seems the Acer web site is sorely lacking in descriptive technical text as well. Again, if you're not computer literate, this will cause you some grief if you don't have a specialist help you, but if you're familiar enough with computer software and basic device installation, you won't need it anyway.The list price at most other web sites is $599.99 and that doesn't include shipping or sales tax. At the time of this review, Amazon has this for $502.19 including shipping, and THAT IS A DEAL. If you're simply buying a new computer and are going to start from scratch, you cannot beat this system for the price. Just get yourself a monitor and some speakers and you're ready to go!

Lots of memory & storage for the buck. Unique USB access.
By jedediahb@aol.com
PROS:Plenty of memory & hard drive space (and Firewire!) at a low price.Fast system, as far as I can tell.Cool blue lights for the power & drive bay switches.According to COnsumer Reports, this brand is one of the more reliable.There's a nifty little recessed area with a lid on top of the tower to hold your mobile devices while charging/syncing."Front" access to USBs (4 of them) is on top rather than in front, which makes it easier to avoid a snaggle of cables coming out the front of the machine. Top access also makes cable runs a little shorter to things sitting on your desk if your tower is under it as mine is. The same goes for the headphone & microphone jacks.CONS:Power switch is located on top, right next to the audio jacks. I've already turned my system off once while plugging headphones in.I worry about the audio jacks & USB ports gathering more dust because they're on top.Acer loves reminding me to register, and I haven't figured out how to turn off the reminder.

By J. D.
I purchased this computer for a customer as a mid-priced mid-tower PC. As someone with extensive computer/technology knowledge, I am very impressed with this system. It arrived on time (thanks to Amazon!) and I had no issues out of the box. I hooked it up and began to work. Of course, it did come with a pre-installed McAfee Security Center (which I would advise anyone to stay away from) but other than that there was not much bloatware.The processor is a great processor for the average computer user. Many believe they must get a Core i3 or i5 but this is not the case. The E6700 is a very quick and responsive processor that can handle just about anything thrown it's way.It came with 6GB of DDR3 RAM which was great! The 1 TB drive is sure not to get filled up anytime soon.Anyone who is looking for a mid-tower for upgradeability in the future should take a good look at this system.
