"What a cracking piece of kit"
What I like:
No wires no other boxes (dvd and stuff)
What I don't like:
Can't think of anything
Review:
I purchased an Acer Idea500 and wrote a not very kind report a while ago that complained about a number of issues including support. However, I must now completely reverse my opinions, it's bloody marvelous!!! I used the email support provided by Acer, added a dolop of patience and hey presto all issues solved. Thanks Acer support

Latest Desktop Reviews
Apple iMac (27-inch, unibody, 2009)
Although not much faster than its predecessor, the LED-backlit display and spec tweaks are welcome
ViewSonic VPC100
Not particularly exciting, but it's cheap and offers a relatively large display for a nettop
Dell Studio XPS 435
Despite some missing features, it's a decent all-rounder, and it looks good for a Dell desktop too
