Customer Review

Information about the technical details, etc. are already in the item description. That's why I will not repeat these here, but write about my personal experience with the Acer Aspire XC-705 desktop PC.

Having freed the PC from its package, noticed right away that the PC is really nice small and slim. The dimensions were, of course, previously known due to the product description, but in live acts all yes but a little better. One can really put the PC on your desk without it takes away too much space. That the housing is small and compact, I really like.

Windows 8.1 is installed. The establishment and commissioning work without difficulty and is in my opinion self-explanatory. It is quite fast through the menu and has the PC and ready for use quickly. Besides Win 8.1, however, is still a lot of pre-installed software, what you actually do not really need. Here I have therefore once tidied and everything I do not need uninstalled. Some of the preinstalled programs I did not know, here Google has however helped.

The PC will start very quickly and goes right up after switching on. The built-in hybrid SSD hard drive speeds up the start. Within a short time you can visit a website, listen to music or launch other programs. Even while using the PC from Acer is pretty fast. Although several applications running at once is the PC pretty fast thanks to 8GB of RAM. For my needs (work, surf, listen to music or watch series) reaches the speed in any case completely out.

Another positive aspect is that the PC is really very quiet. Mostly you hardly hear him. When you hear him, so quietly that it does not bother.

A keyboard and mouse are included. Find super I, for so had it not been purchased separately, and you often eh yes nor a keyboard and mouse has at home. The mouse fits comfortably in your hand. The keyboard can be written well. Do not creaks and I can quickly tap it.

The PC is not wireless capable. In previous reading the item description to me is not noticed. I find Wi-Fi in this day and age so much for granted that I just assumed that the PC has wireless capability. He can be on a LAN cable, of course, connect to the Internet. I've just ordered for little money a corresponding USB adapter to also go into the wireless Internet. If a computer at that price I find it in this day and age really very unusual. And even if you can retrofit the cheap, for me it is definitely a point of criticism that the Acer Aspire XC-705 is not wireless capable. Bluetooth has also been upgraded and complemented by an external drive, as the XC-705 does not have innately via Bluetooth.

Practically, I find that the device via USB 3.0 features. The data transfer works about it quickly and smoothly.

Via HDMI, the PC can be connected to a monitor, projector or television. This works fine. The image reproduction is good, it jerky nothing. For film or series evenings that is as convenient as when you want to view images on a larger surface. And of course, there are dozens of other options.

With 1 TB hard drive is large enough and has so much space really. For normal home use that in my opinion is more than adequate.

I use the PC mainly for work, surf, to look for a little image editing and for series via streaming services such as Netflix. When working and surfing usually music playing. For all these things the PC just fine and everything leads quickly. Test way, some games have been installed. Also this has the PC reproduced well.

Positive is definitely the slim design, the device is quiet and works fast. Negative, I find that the device is wireless capable not unaided and that but quite a lot of useless software is preinstalled.

Overall, I am satisfied, however, with the PC!
