Conclusion: The Veriton 2 series Acer VX2631-UR11 actually has a few selling points: Firstly it comes with a Windows 7 OS system that is not easily found these days- most computers have the Windows 8 pre-installed, then you have the energy efficient and powerful Intel i3 processor, a great range of connectivity ports in the right- convenient places, good amounts of hard drive and memory that are easy to upgrade (open the top bit by just unscrewing 2 screws), decent graphics and sound, small and lightweight- space saving portability factor then you have the low price tag for all that you’re getting. But this is not a full-on gaming or multimedia editing machine either, so keep that and the low price in mind. If you’re in the market for a super powerful desktop PC, you will need to spend lots more.
