More Acer reviews , RRP: AU$2699.00

The good:

  • Good quality screen
  • 16:9 ratio
  • "Cinetouch" media navigation
  • New design
  • Acer Empowerment software

The bad:

  • Cheap plastic wrist rest
  • Cinetouch panel too high friction
  • Entire mouse pad isn't active
  • Integration between media controls, Acer Arcade Deluxe and Windows Media Center is lacking
  • Single TV tuner only
  • Sound management is not made easy, with different options in three different places
  • Yahoo toolbar

The bottomline:

Acer's interesting take on the entertainment desktop replacement makes a few good steps, a few bad, but ultimately is a viable option.
