To be honest, touchscreen is a gimmick. Most people I know revert back to the ol' mouse and keyboard.

If you do want to get this, get Spec 2. For $300 more, you get an All-In-One (AIO) that can actually play games. The i5 CPU is also more powerful than the i3.

1TB can last a long time. We don't know what kind of hard drive they will be using, but knowing Acer, it's probably a Hitachi or Toshiba unit. These are pretty good drives, nothing special, but pretty good.

If I were you, I would not go for Acer. I'm not sure whether I'm just unlucky, or it's just the quality of Acer. After less than 6 months, my desktop's dvd drive failed. Then I've recently bought a new Acer laptop, within a week, the battery couldn't be charged.

Anyway, i see no purpose in having a touchscreen monitor, its more energy consuming to use the touchscreen then the conventional keyboard and mouse. Furthermore, if anything goes wrong, the repair is going to cost way more than of an average cpu because it is all built in.
