Excellent performance for my needs
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.

Powerhouse PC Gets the Job Done!
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.

Anti-Consumer
Warning: Uses an anti-consumer proprietary connectors. This PC is made to be non-repairable and non-upgradable. You cannot add any modern graphics card to this computer. Unless you’re only intending to give this computer to your grandparents to check their email, this computer is going to be in a landfill in a few years. It cannot be serviced nor upgraded by normal means.There are many anti-consumer tricks here, and I’m so sad that reviewers aren’t pointing them out. For instance, the motherboard of this computer is made to a nonstandard size so it won’t fit in most cases. This includes that the front panel I/O is built onto the motherboard. If you don’t know what that means, imagine that you want to move into a new house. But you find out the company that makes the kitchen appliances like the fridge has connected big brackets from the fridge all the way to your front and back doors. So nobody can ever fix the fridge if there’s a problem. But they also can’t ever fix the doors either. One company controls the whole thing, end to end, and they get to dictate terms to you.I could go on. Bad deals:Acer proprietary motherboard connector means you cannot connect any normal power supply to this computer. If you ever have a problem, you’re locked into Acer’s service department for life. For tech people, it’s a nonstandard 6-pin connector, specifically made so you cannot swap in any normal power supply, even one from Dell or HP, even if the power supply itself is the exact same part. Even if you connect a normal power supply, the fans would spin forever and the power supply will draw energy until you unplug it.300W power supply is woefully underpowered. You cannot upgrade this computer with normal parts like a graphics card. The computer is going to be a paperweight in a few years, because it cannot be upgraded.Non-standard parts. The motherboard is intentionally constructed so you can’t move it to a new computer if there is a problem. If your case gets banged up, or you have some other problem with your hardware, Acer is going to try to force you to use their service plans, and probably force you to buy a new computer since they’re going to stop making all these parts as soon as they develop a new model.Lack of power, lack of connectors, and lack of space all mean it’s basically impossible to connect any modern graphics card to this computer. Without a graphics card, you’re going to struggle just playing basic games like Fortnite. The computer basically has one hand tied behind its back, so even though the included parts are strong, they’ll never work like they should for any graphics-intensive process (gaming, 3d modeling, and so on).Overall:This computer is basically built for elderly people, schools, and other settings where the most the computer is going to be asked to do in its lifetime is browse the internet or write some documents. You are supposed to throw it away the moment it has problems, and buy a whole new one. For a lot of computer users like me, that’s not okay. I want to be able to fix my computer if something goes wrong, and I need to be able to upgrade my computer with basic parts like a graphics card. This computer is incapable of that. I cannot recommend it whatsoever. The only people who should buy this are people looking to buy 300 cheap workstations for a school, and they probably want the lack of upgrade options so people won’t try to steal them and resell them.

La PC es un poco mas grande de lo que imagine, pero esta excelente, solo necesito ponerle otros 8GB de RAM. Su fuerte en si es tener un procesador de los mas nuevos, que yo creo es lo mas importante.
