Question 1

On the one I bought, it has a port for DVI, and a port for HDMI and two ports that say "disabled". One says "DP" and the other is a square inside of a square. What are those, and why are they disabled?

Accepted Answer

its not disabled, its just not necessary to use the disabled because there's already a graphic card video port. Using the video card port makes surfing web, watching videos, and playing games much more faster than the motherboard. You can still use the disable one if you want, and DP stand for display port, its just another type of video connector.

Question 2

What Windows 8 version? 8.1?

Accepted Answer

I purchased the Acer before Windows 8.1 was released, so it came with 8.0.  However, the upgrade to 8.1 is free, is done over the internet, and is easy to do - so don't let that hold you back.

I am very happy with this computer (14 seconds to boot up - Wow!), and with newegg as a place to purchase (arrived when promised in good condition).

Accepted Answer

Windows 8 64 bit.

Question 4

Im looking to purchasing a new PC because my current tower is 5 years old and barely running battlefield 4. Is this tower worth buying? im having a hard time looking for a tower that has good Intel i7 with 16 GB, a good HDD and most of all a 4 GB Video Card. Is this PC Spec's more than enough and has anyone tried Running BattleField 4 on it? I have seen other video cards being bigger than what was shown in the tower's pics.

Accepted Answer

I purchased this computer more for a development standpoint. I need the power and memory to run some mobile JAVA applications on VMWare images.

One of the cons is a 300 power supply. I think ACER and some of the other manufacturers should sell it with a 400 + power supply.

If you are going to use it for gaming I would suggest replacing the video card.

Question 6
