Apart from here (not, fortunately, at the price!) And not oriented to naturally instrumental in the design of the new Apple Mac Pro Series ... but why ?! The design is ingenious, sophisticated ventilation and unnoticeable and the ARO is ideally decoupled by rubber feet - everything fine.
In the admittedly astonishing small packaging (for a desktop PC) is hidden:
* The can - the ARO has actually only 15.5 cm height / 10.6 cm in width and length.
* A split power supply - cable and cable with transformer.
* A small white mouse with a corresponding USB dongle (in Mouse hidden)
* A white wireless keyboard without numeric keypad.
* Batteries.
* Warranty Booklet and Quick Install description.
Personally, has an included HDMI cable, or DisplayPort cable missed you at this point (for a resolution over 1920x1080, for example on a UHD or even 4K TV). Too bad, otherwise you might start really soon.
The ARO is the complete garment, that he really is wrapped completely in a transparent plastic foil and you have it before using it even open (a small button which one holds the most pressed with a pen and then pulls down the top part) because he even in the interior still has protector. But then it can already go ...
The can of course quickly put down anywhere, fits in her stylish piano lacquer White also almost everywhere and is good to hide even in doubt.
And even when the connection options offers the small tin astonishing amount:
* 2x USB 2 (one of which is occupied but with the mouse / keyboard dongle)
* 2x USB 3 (here you should not connect the dongle as USB 3 is not very good tolerate 2.4GHz Funkperiferien - s Go ** le.)
* 1x Ethernet, for the internet wired
* 1x HDMI
* 1x DisplayPort
* 1x 3.5mm Audio
* SD card reader (up by snap closure)
* My model (the i5 1000 SSHD unit) in addition (just plug ie, without using an adapter etc.) 2x HDD hot swap places for each 2.5-inch disks.
The first start was as usual: Create an account, Language and Region Select, etc.
Then if you're eventually landed on the desktop, a lot of advertising, supplementary programs etc. All shows only times that you can remove easily and conveniently in the Control Panel, but and the connoisseur will anyway only once to install a brand new partition (without recovery etc. ).
There is much here. noted that here too (even with my win this tablet has been missing ?!) no Win8 Key label / product key supplied with more. But who is planning a Neuaufsetzen who reads the key from anyway.
Otherwise, the computer is really lightning speed: the start-up differs slightly from my desktop PC (4770k, 16GB of RAM), the pace of work (Office), Internet etc. is excellent and the addition-to-fit memory is the Acer quite outstanding as HTPC, NAS and much more , - I'm really excited! Apart from the Rest Internet just so, thanks verbautem WLAN ac (must also support the modem) and it's really fun to use the ARO in everyday life. Even the remote control is a funny thing that is not entirely new but (had something found years ago in the Play Store: easy to install and control with wireless PC - which should not be a purchase criterion!).
What he can not, of course, are expensive games, for him it is the power but lack. But otherwise, he thrilled with movies, music, as a storage medium, when working (eg SketchUp) across the board and is simply wonderful small and chic.
Conclusion:
In an era of smartphones, tablets, laptops ... for whom the Acer is recommended?
In my eyes for anyone who needs an absolutely stylish workstation / want. Connect for the nursery, as the first computer as a second computer, as entrainment computer ... simply to a monitor / TV and get started, no matter where, no matter when. Internet in the bedroom, the storage in the hallway and per tablet / phone access it on the living room TV Bank or at the neighbors if you would like to show photos. Throughout the ARO makes a great figure, allows the unrestricted use of Win 8.1 full version and also takes away even less space.
From my side a clear recommendation!
