Acer AME600-UR378 Desktop (Black)

• 10 GB DDR3
• 2 TB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive

There's nothing like a lot of CPU horsepower. Only the HD rotation speed holds this machine back. Windows 8 isn't as awful as some reviews indicated.

Top of the line processer for "not that much." I've had the computer for a couple of weeks and compared to my Vista HP, it's night and day. Web pages just flash by without hesitation. My pictures are "breath taking." E mails load instantly. As far as Windows 8 there is a learning curve but I'm finally getting used to it and it's not that bad. The only thing on Acer's part that kind of irritates me is the hard drive which is 5400 rpm, when most drives now days are 7200 rpm. I'm not sure if it makes a whole lot of difference but it is kind of "hope you don't notice" kind of thing. I still would recommend this computer because it is a lot of bang for the buck.

Feb. 14, 2013... I just started playing Far Cry 3 on this computer. Far Cry 3 is very graphics intensive, so I thought it would be a good test to see if the Acer could handle it. I have not installed any upgrades, including using the Intel intergrated graphic system that came with the computer.I have been pleasantly surprised. The game is beautiful and runs with no lag at all. My older computer with a graphics card shuts itself off because it gets so hot playing this game. The Acer runs cool and quiet. Granted, I can only use medium settings,after that the frame rate is slow, but still the details are good. I can only imagine the potential of adding a graphics card.All in all for a stock computer it handles itself well.

I was initially iffy about buying this because it came with Windows 8 which gets bad reviews for usability. I have to say I found it quite easy to navigate and I'm not all that computer savvy. This unit has a lot of RAM and a fast processor. It really moves. The only thing to be aware of is the dvd drive is very flimsy. I would support it from underneath with one hand when you put a dvd in or it will probably break.

I bought this to run Reason 6.5 music recording software. I needed something with the processing power to record live audio at CD quality. I am please to say the i7 chip easily handles this job even if I have multiple songs open at the same time something that used to freeze other laptops I owned. So far I have nothing bad to say about this machine and it was only about $700. The only thing I would change is I would like it to have two HDMI outputs.

Very fast with tons of storage. Windows 8 is new to me and I'm a little clumsy with it but the computer is outstanding.

A very good value for the size of this unit. Only thing I would have changed is the power supply. It has a 300w but would

have preferred a 500w-600w. A new power supply is a nominal expense, if it's ever needed for a video upgrade. Would recommend to anyone.
