I currently now have 4 Acer Computers. A Windows Laptop, Chromebook Laptop, Wife's Desktop and now this Desktop for myself. I have had absolutely NO issues with any of them! This computer is fast and is plenty for what I use it for. My wife and I are 64 years old and play mostly Big Fish Games with no issues. I would imagine that if you wanted to play more powerful games you would want a graphics card, but, for us it is plenty. It does have a cooling fan installed but the only time you hear it at all is when it's ramping up but still quiet. Because of the SSD it stays cool. Nice computer for the price!
