Well, I bought this Acer, pretty much, as a back-up, so to speak, for older PCs, including, even a Compaq (!), for dubbing music, and for a general-type of everyday use, also. It's very-responsive, and has a swift entrance to all uses, so far. If anyone still dubs music from LPs, cassettes, etc., and would want a multi-functional, yet-inexpensive PC, this might be the the ONE to have, before it's discontinued.
