Acer Aspire XC-230

compact, quiet, easy setup, plenty of sockets for everything.

laptop in a box basically. Vertical disc player awkward. Not a gaming machine.

It's quick, and easy to use. Note, however that having heard very negative reports about getting started with Windows 10 I had it set up by an expert to save myself the stress: it cost me, but it worked.

The CD drive seems rather flimsy

Easy to set up and use

Compact

No led light for hard dr ive. Flimsy C. D Housing

It's smaller & neater than my previous tower, 8 years old.

Preloaded with Windows 10, which is SO very different, taking a LOT of getting used to. All previous files are 'protected' so I'm unable to continue the work, without first copying and making a new file, Every time!! Not all the Windows 7 functions are...

Installing and set up was easy.

Microsoft can be a pain if you prefer other software

Compact.

good allrounder

none

Good value for money, quite, and fast.
