Acer Aspire L310-ED630M (Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GHz, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD, XP Media Center 2005)

Pros: System was a great concept and worked well until it died. ACER has ZERO support for the Aspire L310. My bet is that during the warranty period they will probably be unable to repair and do a whole unit swap. Which could be a good thing.

Cons: ACER has zero support for the Aspire L310. System ran fine for about 18 months and then stopped working. Seems that after warranty period ACER will have nothing to do with repairing this product. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!!!!

Summary: Because this is a "mini" PC repair is almost impossible. I did what ACER suggested and took my system to the Geek Squad at Best Buy. Just got the estimate back; $850.00 to repair. I only paid $550.00 plus or minus, for the system new.

Bottom-line, is don't buy a mini-PC from ACER unless you factor in the cost of replacing the entire machine with 18-24 months from the date of purchase. They just don't care about their customers
