Many appreciate the affordable price point, while some found the operating system challenging to learn initially. Positive feedback also highlights the quiet operation and good graphics capabilities. A few users noted limitations with the motherboard's expansion capabilities.

    Had product for a month. Tech support paid for but not done. Big run around with Geek Squad and the store for support! Seems like Best Buy should be able to service products sold!

    This computer is a complete waste of money! It locks up and randomly shuts down constantly. I will never buy another HP product. I have a 10yr old Computer that I have gone back to instead of using this heap. Programs load slow, Internet surfing is horribly slow, overall performance is abismal. Do not buy, spend the extra money and buy something better.

    I had trouble with this device ever since I purchased it four months ago (OS errors; hard drive problems) and Best Buy replaced it with another (same style) one month ago and it started doing the same thing as the first one. Best Buy allowed me a credit to purchase a Dell which is working perfectly. Poorly designed, waste of money.

    I was told that this computer was wireless compatible. It showed online and on the box and in the instructions that it was wireless compatible, it was not. I called Acer and was told "models vary" and that basically, it was the luck of the draw that mine was not. I will not be purchasing an Acer product again.

    I'm very disappointed in this computer and Best Buy employees for not explaining that this computer can only be upgraded with a new HDD or memory. I purchased an SSD and can't even install it. I wish I could return it.

    Great Value

    This is a great machine at a great value. It is plenty fast enough for me with 8GB of memory and the 2TB hard drive is more than I will ever need. It boots up fast and runs multiple programs with no issues at all. I do a lot of downloading and this computer handles that with no issues at all. I strongly recommend this machine for anyone needing a standard home computer for an office or just to play around on.

    Very slow processing data. I have had problems since purchase and have returned my first one after 2 days of use. The replacement model is not working at all after one month of use. The computer now is now back in it's box and ready for disposal.
