Free upgrade to Windows 11 when available (see below for details*). The Acer desktop PC has been created with a 10th generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, a 1TB hard disk drive, along with 16GB of Intel Optane Memory to help speed you along. You’ll be able to complete work assignments, send emails, check out social media pages, stream shows and store large amounts of files.
Intel Core i5
With a Intel Core i5 processor, you'll easily handle day-to-day tasks like word processing, image editing, web browsing and casual gaming.
The i5-10400 processor in this model features 12MB of cache and 6 cores that can adjust their speed depending on the complexity of the task they are working on, from 2.90GHz to 4.30GHz.
What is RAM?
RAM (Random Access Memory) is different to the permanent storage provided by hard disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD) or memory cards in your equipment. RAM is used by your device to temporarily store data to carry out everyday operations. The more RAM your machine has, the faster you can expect it to open and run programs.
A solid performer
Featuring 8GB of RAM, this computer has enough power for casual tasks like web browsing and word processing as well as more demanding jobs like complex spread sheets and image manipulation. You'll be able to run a healthy number of windows at once without any obvious lag or slowdown.
Super space
This device features a huge 1TB hard disk drive, so there’s room for all of your high-resolutions photos and videos.
Optane memory
Intel Optane is a fantastic new non-volatile memory that enables standard hard disk drives (HDD) to be competitive with even the quickest solid state drives (SSD). The ingenious Optane technology works as high-speed cache in tandem with your HDD – all behind the scenes, so there’s no effort required on your part – just turn on the PC and witness a revolutionary leap forward in decreasing latency, yet accelerating system speed.
Intel UHD Graphics
Intel’s UHD graphics processing unit (GPU) will enable you to enjoy a number of classic older games, along with some casual (web-based) gaming. You may be able to run more modern titles with reduced effects and frame rates.
Connecting your other devices
USB and Ethernet ports allow for fast data transfer, while HDMI ports enable the option for large screen presentations (monitor sold separately). The SD card slot offers a convenient way to upload your photos and videos. Additionally, Bluetooth can help to send data wirelessly between devices.
