acer Aspire TC-1785-UA92 Desktop | Intel Core i5-14400 10-Core Processor | 8GB DDR5-5600 Memory | 512GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD | SD Card Reader | Wi-Fi 6E | Windows 11 Home

I watch a lot of videos and now that I have a modern computer I can enjoy 4K videos without any problems. I also dabble in music editing and this machine processes large wav files quickly. I don't do gaming so I can't comment on performance there. In addition to video and music tasks, I do basic household stuff like working on budgets, browsing the web and ordering online, checking news and weather.My only minor complaint is that the included optical drive is the flimsy laptop style, and worse, it's mounted vertically. I can't trust good discs to that kind of drive so I've ordered a kit to let me use a formerly internal drive via USB for my DVD watching and music extracting needs. I'm not going to deduct any stars for that however, since it's getting rare to find any optical drive included with a computer at all.The design is beautiful. If it had a more traditional front panel, perhaps one could install an internal optical drive, but with this design, there is no place for a disc tray to operate. You can however install an additional hard drive and they even include a sata cable in the box, and you can actually see an extra power cable available through the side panel.Windows 11 took some getting used to, but I've adapted from being a Windows 7 user since 2009. As I write this, I've owned the tower for almost one month. I'm very happy with the performance, quality and beauty of the Acer Aspire TC-1760-UA92 Desktop.

My old Windows 10 computer served me well since 2010 but died unexpectedly. I found this one on Amazon during Prime Days and for $499, I feel I got an exceptional bargain. 12 gigs of Ram, dual HDMI outputs, and an I5 processor, are perfect for my home graphic design tasks. I use Illustrator and PhotoShop to design tee shirts to make with my Cricut machine. I also stream movies using Emby server to my home's devices. Windows 11 works well (I'm learning how to use it) and runs all the programs I need without any issues. This machine only has a 512 internal drive so I easily installed a 4 TB drive inside to hold all the "crap" I save. Movie file are large so this replaced the 2 TB drive that I had on my old desktop. I'm as happy as a clam with it. Likely I'll buy another one before Windows 10 looses support in 3 years, to replace my wife's aging Windows 10 desktop.UPDATE:I added a Nvidia GeForce 1030 video card to this box. Works great with any of my apps that require GPU acceleration. Made this already good desktop BETTER!

Not so good if you are my grandchildren who demand high res gaming. But for tax software, printing, word processing, and internet it is fine. Also fine if you use PC as I do for interfacing to electronic test gear. Pulled cover in under 20 seconds, easy to access internals, all connectors and dram were secure, extra cabling and drive isolators for one more drive present. Case perfectly adequate. You want lights and sound go to a carnival. Saw some complaints about esthetics of desktop case. Really? I just stuck it under my desk where like the one replaced I expect it will look shaggy with dust in short order. Have never been one to stare at my computers case. Compared to 1st gen IBM pc included keboard is skinny and lightweight, so is mouse but, they work fine as well. Drive is silent, fan barely audible. Major con is Win11 and it's bloatware but you get that with every PC. Note: turn off "one drive" msoft populated my new pc screen with nonsense I never wanted to see again unless I went to cloud and fetched it. Only gripe about Actual PC was that the card slot was filled with rubber, no circuitry. If you use SD or other cards for maps, music, pictures etc you will need a usb to whatever adapter. So, office - yes, maybe too good. Home - perfect. Under 8 gamers, will be happy. After that sorry folks fork over another $1k. FWIW I am running this with an old analog VGA on a $8 hdmi adapter. It is fine. Wireless on speedtest ( have mesh network) ran at 300 mbps. Was able to download Turbo Tax and watch Netflix simultaneously no buffering. Minus one star for excluding card reader. CAUTION: 1) ACER provides NO info regarding how to install anything on this computer. You can go to the citizens help site or whatever nonsense they have named it and beg one of the moderators to look something up in the tech support manual but YOU, Ordinary customer keeping company solvent cannot have access to same. Ditto for specs.( FWIW, PCIe1 is a gen 3 and the 16 is a gen 4). You can slap 2 SSD or HD onto the plate inside, add a 1650 Graphics card - but will block your PCIe1, or forget graphics and use PCIe1 for a port expander. Issue 2: This box will perform " out of box experience" and register itself thru microsoft to acer with whatever email you gave microsoft. Changing it as I wanted to do as I have an acer account for 2 laptops is difficult a) talk or chat with acer get on list for " protection agent " who will send you email asking to confirm change of email. b) wait for more mail and id number from protection person or get back on with plain old acer agent and get double secret website url via email where you can register "warranty" after sending proof of purchase. This still does not get you a registration but is warranty only. No I do not know what great gifts full reg gets you but I will bet it is access to updates or some such. It was so frustrating and time consuming I thought of returning the darn thing and getting the competitor.

What a super PC! I was pleasantly surprised and I am glad that I made the purchase. This PC is used for working from home and I needed a computer that would be able to keep up with the software programs being used for work, and this PC was up to the challenge. I can also play games if I choose to, which is a bonus. The only issue was that the power cord that was included with the PC was flimsy and would not stay connected in the pack of the PC. Luckily, I keep cables and cords just in case and I was able to swap out the cable for one that I owned. The other issue was when I contacted someone for assistance in an attempt to have them send me a better cord, I was told that they did not have the capability to replace the cord. Outside of those two situations, I was more than satisfied with this PC purchase and I would purchase another Acer.
