Acer Aspire C27-1700-UA91 AIO Desktop | 27 Full HD IPS Display | 12th Gen Intel Core i5-1235U | Intel Iris Xe Graphics | 16GB DDR4 | 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD | Intel Wireless Wi-Fi 6 | Windows 11 Home

I was excited to receive this for review, I havent used an all-in-one form factor (other than an iMac) in a really long time, and I was interested to see what someone would get for around $700. Ultimately, this is using laptop internals, packed inside of a computer monitor. The power adapter only has an output of 65 watts, a normal desktop processor alone draws at least that much power and sometimes double. Computers have become powerful enough so that most people dont really need full-fledged desktops like that anymore though. A neat and tidy setup like this is more practical and elegant, so long as you dont need anything too powerful.

Full disclosure, I do not know PCs well when it comes to gaming capacity, so when I get this PC, I was excited to finally be able to play games that my Nintendo Switch wouldnt allow me to play, because they were too graphics intense: Madden and Formula 1 racing. Imagine my disappointment when I ran the specs on Can You Run It and saw that EVERY facet of this computer was more than the recommended, EXCEPT for dedicated VRAM, where it was painfully lacking. 128mb dedicated VRAM for games that required 2048 and 4096 mb VRAM respectively. Ouch.

I really have no complaints for this Acer Aspire AIO. In all fairness, this is my first time having an AIO, so I dont have much to compare it to by way of comparison, but I will say for the price, aesthetics, functionality, and space-saving utility of not having to have a separate computer tower, this thing is an exceptional buy.

Did not have an internal disc drive

Just got this and overall, am pretty happy. Screen is large and has good colors, mouse and keyboard arent that bad. The all in one feature is great because I dont have a lot of desk space. I will say, its pretty loud. You can here the computer working, so that was a little unexpected. Set up was easy. Hope this experience stays positive!

As a long time Mac user, and iMac user, I was very interested in some of the PC competition. Apples iMac design has largely been the same for the last 10 years, until the recent 24 M1 iMac.

This computer is slow. It takes 5 minutes to bring up any web page. I wish I would have listened to the other reviews.

I have mixed feelings on the Acer Aspire C24-1700-UA91 AIO Desktop.

After 3 months keyboard and mouse failed - took 2 hours with tech support to get new keyboard/mouse(Logitech) to work (OEM keyboard/mouse is junk). Cant hook up externals speakers thru PC - Dont want bluetooth - tech support no help - thought there was a green 3.5mm port on the back of this unit - NOT! - told me to plug into headphone port - didnt work

This computer makes a clean set up. The keyboard and mouse use a single dongle, so there are no wires for that. The DC power cord is the only wire required and it clips to the support. The power adapter has lots of good safety approval marks. The machine comes with a reasonable sized internal fast boot SSD drive C: and a larger mechanical HD for data, drive D: The mechanical drive tested to have an odd slowness for random read. I tested this multiple times and it was odd to see random read speeds lower than random write speeds. I did a speed test to see how well the wifi worked. Since this speed results includes my ISP internet speed, the wifi could be faster than this. I did upgrade from the Windows 10 that came on the machine to Windows 11. It took a good bit of time, but I didn’t encounter any problems. To gage the graphics performance I installed and went into a virtual world. I got frame rates of about 50 fps with the default settings somewhere between high and ultra. This is quite good. The camera on the screen has a shield for privacy. The camera did not support Windows hello. I would have liked a higher resolution screen, but other than that, I don’t see anything to complain about.
