Good solid Home Office Computer. Coming off a 10 year old XP computer that really should have been retired a few years ago, this is a nice computer at a good price (I got mine on a Black Friday special). I was going back and forth about having an i3 processor versus an i5 processor and I wound up buying the i3. The only resource-heavy things we will be using this for are some photo editing and publishing software (Adobe CS and Quark), so I think an i3 will suffice.Windows 10 is a whole new ballgame compared to XP and will take some getting used to, but most people I know rarely do anything with their computer other than opening browsers or other software, so I can still use it just fine while I learn windows 10.Pro’s:1) Compact Size.2) Relatively quiet3) Fast and responsiveCon’s1) DVD drive was making some weird noises yesterday.

My newest Acer has met my expectations! I’ve been using an old Acer Aspire Desktop since Vista came on the market. This old desktop never gave me a bit of trouble! It’s age was slowing it down and a factory reset would have resolved most of the issues, but support for Vista ends in less than 5 months so I decided to order the smaller sized tower and upgrade to Windows 10 now.The smaller Acer has not disappointed me one iota! I love the way it sits on my desk, allowing me to arrange my computer area to a smaller foot print.The tower is much smaller and quieter, there is an internal power supply, unlike the external power pack HP has for their smaller desktop towers. I did find I have to use extra care when putting a disc in the Perpendicular dvd drive, but that is no big deal and I am sure this is an issue with all computer towers with these drives.For some reason, a thumb drive was only recognized once during file transfers. But I blame this on the drive itself and not the Acer as the same…
