Acer Aspire XC-105 SFF Desktop PC (AMD A4 5000 1.5GHz Processor, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, DVDRW, LAN, WLAN, Integrated Graphics, Windows 8)

Very happy with this. Brought it before Xmas as in the Black Friday sale. So at £250 it was a bargain. Other reviewers have not reviewed this actual item which comes with windows already preinstalled. So can't say if it's difficult to install an operating system as it was already there! Literally you can get it straight out the box and switch it on and it's ready. We went from a from a very old (7years aprrox) windows xp machine to this. So might be slightly bias as to how good this is if you're used to a newer machine already. It has made a huge difference to the clarity of our monitor. It is so small and quite and amazing that you can now put it on the desk rather than having on the floor. It is noisy when you use the disc drive though. Windows 8 I have got used to quite easily, it is different, but works well and gives you options. We upgraded to 8.1 pretty much as soon as we got it as that resolved some annoying navigation issues. I was worried that it was difficult to use after all the other reviews, but it makes sense and got loads of options for customisation to get it how you want. Having the keyboard and mouse included was a bonus, we are using the keyboard as the extra buttons for windows are good to use and nice and compact keyboard. Now there is room for my cat to sit next to the keyboard without pressing loads of buttons! Haven't used the mouse as like the feel of my old mouse, but nice to have it as a spare. Definitely recommend, even at the price it's currently at.

Genuinely the slowest PC I've ever had the misfortune of owning. The CPU constantly struggles along at 98% even when just running an internet browser, so trying to do two things at once is just a nightmare. At first I put it down to Windows 8 but even the upgrades Microsoft have made to that haven't helped. Didn't expect the best for the price it was but I expected competent, it performs worse than the 5 year old PC I bought it to replace and has put me off Acer products for life. Steer clear.

Very slow processor. If you have any problems the Acer support team will answer every question but the one you ask!!! Appalling support team are incompotent and useless!!!

As a fairly new convert to Windows 8 from XP mastering it took a little time. I quickly got help and upgraded to Windows 8.1 and am slowly getting the hang of it. I did not find the instructions very informative and was disappointed that microsoft office did not come with the computer, but downloaded open office and this does the job. The computer is quick and silent. The box is small which will suit those with a small study. Overall I am pleased with the purchase.

STILL TRYING TO GET THE HANG OF THE MEDA PROGRAMS THE ACER CLOULD PROGRAM IS TO COMPLECATED AT THE MIN

Received this product in a timely manner then proceeded to connect it to existing devices. It's a wonderfully quiet and rapid computer. Windows 8 has been a new experience but after a day or so I was able to upload 8.1 and it is operating smoothly. The new OS will take some getting used to but the ACER is an excellent value.

Great little PC for the office, runs Windows 8.1 perfectly and is pretty fast for everyday office use. It also looks the part, very compact with metal finish on the front and good solid build quality. Best computer for the price by far.

Excellent computer. software:not keen on windows 8 as used to XP.However will get used to it . not much choice as xp is no longer supported,
