My 7 year old Acer died and I needed a replacement.  I was leery of the low price and specs of this computer but only needed a desktop for limited applications and printing.  I read the previous reviews and thought I would take a chance...mistake!  Received and unboxed the computer and hooked it up.  It got to the point where it was ready to connect with the wireless and shut itself down.  Rebooted and the display was scrambled, then it shut off again.  This happened twice.  I unplugged it and rebooted again and got an "Alert!  Previous shutdown due to thermal event" message.  Thermal event?  This computer was supposed to be refurbished and I would assume that these things would have been checked prior to shipment.  It wound up back in the box and going back by UPS for a refund less than an hour after it arrived.
