I bought this tablet/ desktop mainly for streaming purposes, and being that it was listed for less than $280, I thought it was a steal. Setup was a bit iffy, being that it is a touchscreen, using the stylus to enter information was a pain. Once I connected the bluetooth keyboard and mouse, setting up was a breeze. I uninstalled all the bloatware, and let the computer take almost an entire day to download and update itself. Once all that was out of the way, this computer has pleasantly surprised me. I cut cable a while back, and now stream all of my content. The 17 inch HD screen is beautiful to look at, and watch movies/ TV on. The videos play without buffering, and with multiple browser tabs open (this might be internet speed dependent) . I have even setup a Plex media server on this machine for streaming content to my TVs. The negatives for me include, the 2 USB ports (needed at least 2 more), and the built in speakers are terrible ( solved this by connecting to my Echo ). The computer lacking a disc drive was not a deal breaker for me. Amazon states on the title that it has a 1TB HDD, however it only comes with 500GB. Other than that, so far so good. My 4 stars account for the price, functionality, and the bare minimum hardware required to run Windows. 9 Month Update: Purchased on August 2018. The All In One last week started to shut down by itself and then try to reboot. I made sure that it was up to date, ran Windows troubleshooting, nothing showed up. Yesterday the computer essentially bricked itself. It wont power up, just shows the Acer splash screen, beeps and then powers down. It does this randomly by itself. Contacted Acer warranty support, was told it might be a hard drive failure. It appears that I will have to pay for the return shipping to have it repaired according to the fine print on the warranty. Brings to mind the proverb "All that glitters is not gold". Truly disappointed with this purchase and outcome.
