Finally retired the Acer and gave it to my daughter. Bought a Gateway all in one at Best Buy, 23" 10-point touchscreen running the Pentium G2030 dual core. It was pretty nice, but the OEM build of Win 8 included some drivers that wouldn't play nice with my USB interface (ZOOM R-16). Took it back to Best Buy and bought a Dell Inspiron One 23" all in one.
3rd gen Core i5 quad clocked at 2.7 but ondemand to 3.12, 6gb ram, 1tb 7200 rpm drive. All my production software installed with zero problems. It's a beast and just blasts thru large projects without breaking a sweat. Large projects that would take 5-7 minutes to render a mix now take < 60 seconds.
Haven't been a big fan of Dell in the past, but the price was right on this machine so I took a chance. Having a son that works at Best Buy helps.![]()
