How do you find it? Any dead pixels on the display, is it fast enough loading programs etc?

I know it has a wireless networking connection but does it have a socket for a standard cable connection to a network?

Anyone know if the Lichfield Tesco has these in stock?

Received mine and graphics are very good and quick.

My only problem is there's no microsoft office applications with it and I can't perform a file transfer between computers as I've no windows wizard cd . Any one else had problems with this/have any advice?

You should be able to use Files and Settings Transfer Wizard under All Programs, Accessories, System Tools. I don't think you'll need any CDs if you get a cable to join them together.

dribsndrabs,
You dont normally get any office applications with any new PC unless its bundled in a package deal. File and Settings transfer wizzard will not transfer office programs from one pc to another, it will only transfer settings and your saved files.


For the person asking how I got the price of £14.14 for vista upgrade, I went through the Acer website, theres a section about vista upgrades and applicable products and it leads you to a secure payment system. Unfortunately it declined my payment for unknown reasons and no wont let me try again

Tesco Lichfield dont usually stock any large electrical items its a groceries only store, your best bet is either Cannock or New Oscott on the Chester Road to Brum
