Pretty decent for a whole computer including monitor, keyboard and mouse! Would be a perfect budget computer for homework / kids bedroom :smiley:
Small enough to fit almost anywhere, the Acer Aspire XC-703 offers plenty of power and performance for your multimedia creativity and HD entertainment. Conveniently located on the lower front of the machine are frequently used I/O ports, which provide an easy way to access data. An Intel® Celeron® processor powers the XC-703 so you can easily finish tasks, watch videos, play games, and keep in touch with friends. The sizeable 1TB hard drive gives you plenty of space to store all your data, while the HDMI port lets you easily take your content to a big screen.
The Aspire XC-703 comes supplied with the Acer K192HQLB 18.5-inch LCD monitor, which delivers exceptional visuals with fine details and smooth movement. Using Acer Adaptive Contrast Management (ACM), the monitor optimises contrast to present the highest level of clarity and detail. Additionally, the K192HQLB LCD monitor uses less power making it environmentally friendly.

Don't forget the free upgrade to Windows 10 (Still available if you ever (or even never) use Assistive options
First this is HotUKdeals so heat added for the deal
1. Of course it's small compared to a bigger screen, however it's adequate for the task...
2. 4GB - explain why this is low these days? What needs (Needs, not "can take advantage of") more than 4GB that you would run on this machine? (it supports 8GB and is cheap to upgrade)
3. 8.1 is still in support...(Windows 8.1 falls under the same lifecycle policy as Windows 8, and will reach end of Mainstream Support on January 9, 2018, and end of Extended Support on January 10, 2023.)
4. It's all about perspective, it's actually a 64bit, 4 year old CPU, still usable
Post a deal that includes the same or better spec for £179...

Yeah, do that if you want to get new issues with every new update and have no privacy.

For the price it's hard to complain. Having said that...
1. 18.5" is pretty small for a monitor. Only 3.5" larger than a big laptop screen. I think 21" should be the bare minimum for a monitor.
2. 4GB is very low these days.
3. Windows 8.1 is outdated.
4. Really poor processor...
5. ...which won't at all be helped by a HDD.

That's poor. Microsoft have set up that system to assist disabled people. If it's abused then they might withdraw it in the future.
