I would not purchase anything made by Packard Bell. They were chased out of
the US for installing used parts in their "new" systems. I never hear about
them except from someone who is living in the UK. I would not opt for a
system with a Celeron processor if I could get one with a Pentium or AMD
processor for the about the same money.
Personally, I do not care for Compaq. If I had to choose from your present
list, I would go for the ACER with the Pentium processor.
