I bought this Acer computer after having a Dell for years.  Upgrading to a SSD drive system made everything work FAST.  Programs and tasks that took minutes to come up or work literally take seconds with the SSD.  I was a little worried about the oddball 12GB memory layout, but I haven't noticed any drawbacks.  Yes, there is a lot of bloatware that you either need to deactivate or uninstall, but it's a solid choice if you aren't a heavy gamer/12K video editing junkie.  No brainer choice for medium-duty users who mainly use their desktops for internet browsing.
