Terrific computer! So easy to set up!

Our only complaint is the directions are pretty sparse. The dongle for the mouse is stored inside the mouse battery compartment. We had a very frustrating day trying to locate it as it wasn't in any of the packaging and no word of it being in the mouse in the directions! After that, it's been smooth sailing!

Great all-in-one for the price

First of all, the dongle for the mouse and keyboard is located inside the mouse. This is illustrated in the pamphlets that come with the computer. I feel like all the negative reviews said they had no dongle. This computer is great for the price. The chip is a newer quad-core chip that is great for everything as long as you're not trying to play modern graphics intense games. The computer is really just a monitor with very small bezels - it is light and compact. Startup seems to be a little slow, but after that the computer is really speedy even with the 5400rpm hard drive. And this thing is quiet! You would be very hard-pressed to even hear the fan or hard drive, even in a very quiet room. As someone else has stated, the keyboard and mouse are cheap but fine. The computer itself is so small that there's very little room for speakers, and as such, they sound terrible. They work but they do not get loud and there is no bass. I would describe them as worse than most laptop speakers. I love the size, the screen, and the performance of this computer. It's a great bargain all-in-one.

Great computer

This has been a great computer for us so far. The only thing reviewers didn't like was the slow/older hard drive. As soon as we got it I replaced the hard drive with a Samsung ssd 850 pro that we already had. The solid state drives are an easy upgrade and make a big difference in boot up time and how fast the computer runs. The hard drive was very easy to swap out. I found a you tube video with this same model computer that walks you through it. In our last all-in-one computer I had to pull the whole computer apart to get to the hard drive. With this one, everything is contained in the bottom part on the back where the stand screws in. It was much easier to pull apart. Our last computer also needed a conversion box to go from a standard hard drive to the smaller SSD one. On this computer I didn't need that. The standard hard drive is the same size as the SSD, so I could use all of the same hardware to hold it in. I was happy about that. I also really like that this has the 8th gen intel in it. I am sure there is already a 9th gen out there somewhere, but not in any computer even close to this price. Most of the computers in this price range have much older versions of the intel i5 chip. The 8th gen was actually a pretty good leap in performance from what I could find online. We also wanted this computer to last 7 or 8 years or more, so we wanted to have the latest right now so it doesn't get outdated too soon. The 12GB of RAM was also a great deal at this price and will help it last for a while. I am sure someday soon 12GB will be the bare minimum just to get a computer to start up. So right now, with an SSD (which really was easy to swap out), the latest intel i5, and 12GB of RAM, this thing is a fast little computer. Probably not ready for gaming because it doesn't have a dedicated graphics card, but that's not what we wanted it for. It has been great so far and we expect it to last a good while before it gets outdated.

Desktop

This all-in-one desktop was a snap to set up. Just plug and play. Great product for the price.

Great All in One - Very Snappy Performance!

This is a great All in One PC! I've only had it up and running a few days, but so far so good! It is very fast and has seriously cleaned up my desktop-no more cables and stuff above and under desk. It runs very quiet despite the fact that it doesn't have an SSD, and is an excellent option for word processing, spread sheets, email, web browsing, etc...obv if you're a serious gamer or video editor look elsewhere, but all in all a great machine! Would Recommend! Pros -Fast performance -Quiet -Visually appealing -Good Value Cons -built in speakers aren't great (were you expecting them to be?) -Included Wireless keyboard and mouse aren't great -not terrible though

Impressive performance for a tight budget

I spent a lot of time researching for a good work computer. I decided to go with an all in one because of the decent footprint. The monitor is beautiful, crisp and bright. Everything worked great right out of the box. Cortina talked her way into setting everything up. I knew going in that there were only 4 usb ports (2-2.0 and 2-3.0) and I would need more 2.0 for my work add ons, so I ordered a backwards compatible usb hub at the same time. it plugged in and worked just great out of the box. After all the windows updates, it was good to go, no heavy bloatware, its super quiet, fast too. No this isn't a gamer's computer, but it handled 8 open internet windows, google drive sync. and it cut some vinyl at the same time. Acer has been good to us, so I expect this to stay in line.

Fast, easy, dependable. One problem, but my fault!

Love this PC...it's everything I need, except...I forgot to note that it has no CD/DVD drive. I had to buy one, but that arrived today, it's very small, and works perfectly.

AMAZING ALL-IN-ONE

I purchased this 3 weeks ago and I wanted to use it before I reviewed it. I use it for my home business and I'm amazed at the speed, and picture quality it has for the friendly price. I wasn't expecting it to be so awesome for $600. I use photo software and the picture quality just amazes me everyday when I'm working on a project. The speed of the PC on and off the internet is lightning, and even with programs running in background and with 8, 10, 12 tabs open at once on the internet don't seem to slow it at all. If you're looking for a nice quality desktop(All-in-one) that's fast, and with an amazing display that's huge at an affordable price, then this is the one. I wasn't compusated in any way for this review, and seldom do I ever give this type of review, but when I feel like I got an awesome deal and a product above what I was expecting, that performs above my expectations, then I want to share my results with others who may benefit from my review.

Works well. Great value. Setup took a while.

Liked the end results. However, set-up was a bit difficult because I wanted to use SoftWorks for security instead of Norton, and a MicroSoft home office bundle from a cheaper source, and I was converting from Windows7. Finally finished, and my husband is VERY pleased with the results--especially the higher speed of Internet searches.

All-in-One PC for Home Users (Not Gamers), With Easy, Easy Setup

I really like this ACER ASPIRE C24-865-ACi5NT ALL-IN-ONE DESKTOP PC. It’s my first all-in-one PC, and I love the small footprint, single power cable, and easy, easy setup. It’s a true plug-and-play machine that takes about 10 minutes to unbox, assemble, and start up. The first boot takes a while, as Win10 Home makes itself presentable, and you need to get a big Win10 update when you first check for system updates, but it’s a terrific machine for home users who aren’t gamers. (Gamers need powerful, superfast machines with specialized graphics cards.) This PC is plenty fast for ordinary home users--it boots quickly, and loads files quickly. KEYBOARD AND MOUSE. I don’t understand the other reviewers’ dislike of the Acer keyboard and mouse. These work off a dongle (a small radio receiver that you plug into a USB 2.0 port at the back of the monitor) when the mouse is turned on. The dongle is stored inside the mouse’s battery compartment. Both keyboard and mouse are sensitive, and I actually like the feel of the keyboard better than the feel of a very nice Verbatim quiet-key keyboard (with mouse) that I own that also works from a radio dongle. The keyboard does have square, flat keys that aren’t at all elegant-looking. However, if you’re used to typing on an iPad’s virtual keyboard or on a laptop, you won’t mind the flat keys. The dongle eliminates two cables (one for the keyboard, one for the mouse), so you can move both mouse and keyboard off your desk if you aren’t using the PC. DISPLAY: Not being an expert on technical display specs, all I can say is that the display has accurate color and excellent high-definition images. The size of the display (23.8”) is perfect for a PC that lives on your desk (where you’re always sitting close to it). Also, the edge-to-edge display makes this look like an expensive monitor! OPERATING SYSTEM, CAMERA, JACKS AND PORTS: Windows 10 Home is powerful enough, and full-featured enough, for my general home use. I use this PC for checking mail, connecting to the Internet, playing a few simple games (e.g., Microsoft Solitaire), occasionally meeting with people via Skype, keeping financial records, and composing a few letters. The system comes with free online Microsoft Word, and with a 1-month free trial of Microsoft Office 365 ($99 a year if you keep it). Wireless is built in. My PC had no difficulty connecting to my home network--connections are handled by the Win10 operating system. Stereo sound is built in, and sounds good to my non-audiophile ears. The webcam is kind of pathetic, with very poor picture quality. However, people are recognizable, and you can easily replace the webcam with a better one. The webcam isn’t built-in, but attaches magnetically to the monitor and plugs into a USB port in back. On the back of the monitor, the PC has an SD card reader, an audio jack (for headphones, and I think microphone too), a Kensington lock, an ethernet port, a PS2 port, a VGA port, an HDMI/DP port, and four USB ports (two 2.0 ports, with one being used by the dongle; and two 3.0 ports, with one being used by the webcam). If four USB ports aren’t enough for you, you can easily use one or more of the USB ports to add USB-port hubs. STORAGE: The hard drive (inside the monitor) has a 1 terabyte capacity, which will store tons of photos and doc files. If you need more storage, you can add a USB storage drive. SUMMARY: This is an extremely well-thought-out general purpose PC. It’s a space-saver, and it’s extraordinarily easy to set up. The only hard thing is understanding that the keyboard and mouse work by radio, and locating the receiver dongle inside the mouse.
