Acer DX241H review

Not fit for purchase

Reading your review, it's incredulous that Acer has the audacity to release such a shockingly poor and not fit for purchase piece of hardw... junk.

This should be classed as criminal activity, selling something that clearly does not work!

Hmmm, why did I type purchase? Should have been purpose.

Suits Some

No doubt the price will drop to a more reasonable street price at a level people will be willing to pay for a simple internet device. Not everyone will want to use it for watching HD content. I presume for normal internet use there should be no issues and therefore a reasonable buy at the correct price. A price similar to a good netbook with a much more confortable to view screen.

Looks like a good idea

I think that this idea will catch on. 9 times out of 10, I am happy to have just Internet access and media playback. Perhaps the next iteration will be the one to buy.
Or perhaps it won't catch on until Apple popularise it, like they did with tablet computers.

Acer don't do software!

This is typical of Acer, to produce a product that's incomplete. Although they build affordable reasonable quality hardware they seem to see software as a necessary evil. Most of the Acer cr*pware is just that and they don't provide any upgrades to software or drivers over the life of a product.
