so what u guys think for £514?

Answer 1

Not bad. Its a good decent computer for everyday use. If that is what you are looking for then yeah, buy it.

Answer 2

It doesn't look bad by any means. If you're looking into dual core processors becareful with Intel. I know in the beginning their "Dual Core" wasn't a true dual core, it was a single core tricked into acting like a dual core. I don't know if things have changed with them, as I've always thought AMD was a better product and didn't bother to keep up with Intel. The AMD dual core is a true dual core.

Answer 3

It's good but from my experinece I think acer hardware is not fair enough but if you are a very careful user then it's very good for you

Answer 4

go for it, i personally like Acers they last well and you get a lot for your cash as illustrated by the specs you've listed.

Answer 5

I would buy it for £100 less

Answer 6

depends on what you like and need(want)
