With the monitor I could resign myself, the lack of performance over HDMI is for me but a reason for return (mind you: I'm used to much faster systems who previously had an old Windows XP notebook, the feeling quickly than adequate.!)
TIPS:
1. "mobile.HD Media Player" from the Windows Store (2.99 €) can play almost all video formats in the new touch design. Thus even Full HD movies via HDMI are possible.
2. Be sure to update to Windows 8.1. This brings several GB more memory and a real performance gain. On the Acer website to find a driver package which you can still play after the installation.
3. The current batch delivered via Amazon has a 64GB HDD, instead of the displayed 32GB, Super!
