I bought this computer after returning a defective one from a more expensive brand. The Acer works like a champ so far, though I understand that I have not yet been able to evaluate its longevity. My only complaint at this point is the tiny keyboard and mouse Acer sent me. Working with those was very hard for me since I have relatively large hands. I had to use the ones from my old computer that was beginning to die. Otherwise, I am pleased.
