Acer Aspire TC-1760-UA92 Desktop | 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12400 6-Core Processor | 12GB 3200MHz DDR4 | 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD | 8X DVD | Intel Wireless Wi-Fi 6 AX201 | Bluetooth 5.2 | Windows 11 Home

The computer has a black, sleek, minimalist look that I like. No overblown RGB lights on it. Its being sold as a multitasking beast for office and video work and not a gaming PC, so maybe thats not surprising.

It’s been a few years since I had to buy a pc. I’m a Mac guy through and through but a pc is needed for this particular person at my business. I had one goal for this computer - speed.

This desktop computer from Acer is kind of an interesting design, in a way. It looks like a full-sized computer on the outside, but internally it is using both laptop and desktop components. The Celeron J4125 is mostly a CPU that you would find in a mini-PC or a laptop, its a newer Celeron processor that performs pretty well in all the systems that I have tested it in (including this one). The upside to this thing being in such a large case (relatively speaking) is that is has a bit of modularity, it comes with two 4GB sticks of 3200MHz laptop DDR4 from Crucial, you can upgrade that to 16GB (8GB x2) if you feel the need to do so later on. It also has a real NVMe 256GB M.2 solid state drive from Kingston, NOT the slower SATA M.2 drives that you sometimes see with systems using this Celeron processor.

For the price range, this is a surprisingly quick machine. The Intel Graphics are adequate for two HDMI displays, but cant compete against gaming- its not a gaming machine. The fact that it has a DVD cd/r makes it compatible with older media- perfect for ripping CDs or for using CDs for offsite storage.

The Acer computer package was supposed to include Windows 11. It did not. It came with Winndows 10. Otherwise it seem to be working well.

This is one of the best buys Ive ever made on computers. My old desktop computer contained a hard drive with 6TB for my many, many files and programs. Todays computers come with a paltry SSD drive of perhaps 512GB to 2 TB.

There is a lot to like here but there are some issues and I question the asking price for what you get.

For the longest time I’ve wanted an air gapped PC for security and stability, so I could edit and game without any functions getting broken by unwanted updates.

This is a GREAT tower for home use, if youre not into heavy gaming.

it works as advertised
