I purchased the Acer due to it's high ratings and also since I wanted to have a SSD since my last desktop finally died having a standard hard disc drive. I am impressed with the speed of the I5 and since I don't hear a hard drive indexing, this is a quite machine. I don't game, just use mainly for home office functions. It can handle that and more, and arrived securely packaged with no issues. I would buy it again.
