This computer is a form factor that Acer has produced for at least a dozen years now. It's small, but not too small. Still ample room inside to easily upgrade the memory or hard drive, or even add a low-powered video card. This latest iteration by Acer is greatly improved by the presence of a 512GB SSD hard drive for the operating system and user files. WIth an Intel I5 processor, it runs very fast for most operations. Probably not a great machine for advanced video games, but for everything else, including light video or photo editing, it should be fine. Especially if you add a physical hard disk in the available internal drive bay. There are several USB ports, including a USB-C port. The only minor hangup on my machine (and many similar ones that have been sold on eBay) is that there is no functioning SD card slot. There's a phantom slot for it, but it doesn't work. Apparently ACER produced a big batch of these machines where somebody forgot to actually connect the SD slot to the motherboard. There may be an easy fix but I'm not aware of it, other than just buying an SD card reader that is USB-capable, if you want that functionality. That's what I did, for about 8 bucks. Problem solved. My machine came with a 300 watt power supply, which isn't bad for this small form factor. Other manufacturers often skate by with a 180 watt power supply, which is kind of pitiful, IMHO. Sometimes, the processor fan will engage heavily and get a tiny bit loud. Rebooting will usually curtail that issue. I have purchased several of these machines and they are very reliable.Read full review

This computer is small (when you think small, think smaller). The fan does get alittle loud once in a great while but it's not too bad. You can only upgrade to 32gb RAM. Since this is a small computer, any add-ons, if compatible with this computer, would have to be of the special nature. Additionally, the computer only has a 300 watt power supply so any add-ons you'd have to be mindful on that.

The small form factor, the SSD hard drive and the 11th generation Intel processor were key factors in my decision to buy this PC. I was not disappointed. The setup went smoothly and the performance is excellent. I stayed with Windows 10 Home for now but am very pleased that this PC is qualified for the Windows 11 upgrade. I strongly recommend this model for anyone looking for an high quality system at a lower end price point.

The huge and scary homeless hoodlum constantly harassed me with racial epithet, broke the window into my small office and stole all of my laptops and other things. He did not take the desktop. (Too much work, I guess!) Police apathy was so discouraging. I lost faith in those who nurtured and supported these scums. So, I now use only desktops. I am broke but still got obligation to complete for my clients. I selected the cheapest and most practical model I could find. Acer kept me going for now. It was easy to set up quickly. Everything worked as it should so far. No frills. No surprises. So far, so good! I hope I will get back my old livelihood soon from using Acer computer. I now don't go outside at night, and am in debt.
