If you can afford it, the Aspire.

 

[Deleted member 11215]

looks brilliant doesnt it; media centre,wireless,dual core and 1gb ram ill be suprised if a pc member doesnt snap one of these up. I should be able to afford this within about 6 months unless i get a little helping hand or a loan from my parents.

Yep go for the aspire.

It might be a little more expensive in the end but its a better computer. Good features in it.

Acer make good computers
