Joining the Windows 10 party
Acer on Monday announced that its 23.8-inch Aspire Z3-710 Series of all-in-one desktop PCs are now shipping with Windows 10, saving you the trouble of performing a free upgrade (from Windows 8.1).
There are two models that ship with Windows 10 -- the Z3-710-UR55 ($750) and Z3-710-UR54 ($900). The less expensive model comes with an Intel Core i3-4170T dual-core processor clocked at 3.2GHz with 3MB of cache, 6GB of DDR3L RAM, 1TB hard drive, DVD writer, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 + LE, 1080p webcam, three USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, GbE LAN, and stereo speakers.
Acer's higher end configuration ups the ante with a Core i5-4590T quad-core processor clocked at 2GHz with 6MB of cache and 8GB of RAM. Assuming general purpose computing chores, it might not worth the $150 premium. You only get get 2GB of additional RAM, and even though the processor is an upgrade in cores and cache, it's a downgrade in clockspeed.
Both systems come wrapped in a slim 1.4-inch chassis with a display that you can tilt from 5 to 25 degrees using just two fingers, Acer says.
Alternately, Acer still offers the Z3-710-UR59, a Windows 8.1 model for $700 with an Intel Pentium G3260T dual-core processor clocked at 2.9GHz, 4GB of RAM, and 1TB HDD.
All models are available now in the U.S.
