No doubt great screen and sound, but why no expansion slot? As an actual main line item in the main menu (along w/video, music, settings, etc) is there a line called Bookmarks???

I think the move to the mini-SD is a step forward and probably a necessary one. My guess, they simply didn't have the room to fit a regular SD slot and I wouldn't want one anyways. I much prefer the smaller mini-SD. Not like they are expensive either. I bought two 16 gb mini-SD cards for $20. I put one in my Zen X-Fi2 and one in my cell phone. It's only in the cell phone, so I don't lose it. It's actually storing more videos for my X-Fi2. I would have loved to see the X-Fi style with a mini-SD slot, not a complete lack of one. Guess I'll just stick with my regular Zen X-Fi for gym use and my X-Fi2 for everything else. Although, I do want to grab the 64 gb model.

Hey Fusion, I'm just dissapointed really. I mean i filled my Vision M 30 to max capacity, and you cant find the 60 Gb's of the Vision M or W any more. I just need more space man, lol. And i've been in the zen nation for 4 years starting with my first, the Zen Micro 5gb, and i dont want to have to leave the zen nation, i love their products. But one thing confused me in your post, what does "lack of moving parts mean"?

Thanks! The only real gripe that I remember is that a DVD is a little slow to load when you put it in. When I get around to buying one myself though, I probably won't use it as my main DVD player anyway, but I'll write up a full review.

wanna buy this... somebody knows if I plug the 3 displays at the same time, can I get together as one, for example to play some game like racing or flight simulator, to see the expansion making one screen.. thanks

Don, this computer does not have awesome massive sound, but you can (if you have not already) do several things. Within the program or game look for preferences or settings and set that to the highest. But for the system itself, at the start button, lower left corner choose "control panel", then "sounds, speech and audio devices", a window will come up, choose "adjust the system volume" Also you should have a shortcut at the lower right of the taskbar (the bar at the bottom of you computer when it starts up), slide that all the way up if it isn't already. Lastly double click that button (should look like a speaker icon) and a window should pop up, make sure all four sliders are all the way up. Sorry that's all I know to do, my last lap-top had a powerful audio card built in and I miss it. These latitudes I believe were business machines that were replaced with upgrades. Not a bad deal at the price but they are not gaming machines. Dang it!

How do you bookmark? If I pause my book then listen to music or fm radio, then try to go back to the book I have to scroll from the beginning. I use netlibrary. I asked the Sandisk help site but they never got back to me.

Yeah - in the recent redesign of the website there is no longer any mention or screenshot of Netflix support. I can only imagine this means it has been dropped. (If not, they need to fire their marketing manager for not putting Netflix front and center on the website.) This is a real disappointment. I read a rumor that Xbox has an exclusive for embedded players - thus the need for discs on PS3 and Wii. Not sure if that is true, but it could explain the situation here. Roku was likely an exception.

I really appreciate your answer to my question and so quickly too. Thanks! That one negative review about lines in the LCD, increasing lines, is sort of what is holding me back, but wow, what an optical zoom which is the main attraction for me, as I suspect it is for all who purchase it, but I am still on the fence here. You never know how the unit will arrive to you which makes me reluctant to get a memory card until I see it is working probably, so thank you so much for the information. Much appreciated!

I hadn't heard that, but it would explain it. Anyone have any suggestions on what kind of card works to expand the memory?

I've been reading so many reviews and can't remember where I saw the recommendation to use a '32 GB Card' for best or extended video usage. Anybody know what's best? Thanx!

video card MB is not listed anywhere i could find, even the dell website had not provided it. to be honest unless it is your first PC or for a child i'm not gonna recommend this one. yeah it's dirt cheap but you get what you pay for. it came with windows xp and i found that microsoft will discontinue updates for XP in april 2014, video card is not easily interchangeable, difficult to access for a novice. also no s-video or HDMI ports on the pc, which really upset me. my advice is for you to look at another PC

How do you open it to add memory? I have had this for about 3 days, and it seems to work well, but my wife complains it is too slow on her farmville mega-ranch :) There is no documentation or anything at the acer site. The owners manual just says to "take out screws", but I only see one visible screw in the bottom. I removed it, but nothing came apart. It seems to be a nice PC, removed all the free-software and it runs everything well so far. It is also so small and quiet.Any help would be appreciated.

Disappointed that it has only 4gb memory capability, hope that its a miss print can anybody confirm that? Don't know what to do now, the price of ram always goes down and the need for it always seems to increase.

Thank you for your help Jason, I was actually able to get my card working by just opening the unit in My Computer (go figure). My question now is how to exit from the SD card games. The games work fine, but the Home button returns me to the start of the game I am in rather than the main menu. Further presses of the button do nothing. I have to power off and back on (a longer than necessary process) to get back to the main menu. Is this "normal"? Is there a fix?Thanks again. -John

You should be able to expand your desktop, I was able to with mine. It was a complicated process, I had to download the proper drivers and change my settings, but it worked (although its an awful connection)

Best Buy has been running 2 GB's for 54.99, online and in store - reg. 189.00 - it ends today. I haven't ck'd this am but they still had some yesterday afternoon. No rebates, they handle all those , finally a company that understands how frustrating getting those rebates actually mailed to you is - so the 54.99 is the pay for price, my state taxes + S&H; came to $64.64. Can't get 2GB's at that price anywhere. But check to see what your laptops max expansion is - my laptop has a 4GB max - some have NONE.

It also does NOT have the USB port for a memory stick. When I bought mine, their data stated clearly that it did...but it does NOT. While the sound is excellent, IMO it is too much hassle to make it do what I want it to do...many automatic option features that are just an overload of technology. Save some money and buy a smaller unit, unless you want a (large) shelf unit that will rattle the walls.
