Defective Product.......2007-08-03

Instead of being an original Vista version, Acer builds these using Windows XP. In other words, yes it's a Vista machine, but the hard drive is formatted using Windows XP. This makes it behave like an upgrade from XP instead of an original Vista install, which causes problems in some operations.

My computer also was incapable of downloading from the internet. This problem couldn't be solved in the hours I spent on the phone with their poor tech support. I returned it for a refund. Acer said they're sending it to Taiwan to figure out what's wrong with it.

Amazon.com Product Description

Whether you're looking to bring power to your home computing or add on to your home office, the Acer AcerPower FH (APFH-EP9250P) desktop PC is a great choice for managing business spreadsheet, handling email, and storing a decent-sized digital media library. It's powered by the 3.0 GHz Intel Pentium D 925 dual-core processor, which makes running multiple applications a breeze. Other features include a 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of installed RAM (2 GB maximum), multi-format DVD burner (which can write to a wide variety of single- and dual-layer formats as well as CDs), Intel GMA 3000 graphics processing, a wide variety of expansion slots, Microsoft Windows XP Professional edition operating system, and included keyboard and mouse. This is Windows Vista capable PC.

The Basics

Hard Drive: You'll be able to store large libraries of digital audio, video, and photos on the 160 GB hard drive (7200 RPM). This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.

Amazon.com Product Description

The power of a desktop and sized smaller than a notebook, this AcerPower AP2000UD431C offers a full-featured, full-performance productivity desktop PC in a new compact, ergonomic form factor that brings style and efficiency to the modern office. Its quiet operation (only 26 dB when idle) helps reduce workspace noise for optimum comfort and productivity. This desktop is powered by the 1.80 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 dual-core processor, which provides an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved gaming and multitasking performance, and it features a 1.80 GHz speed, fast 800 MHz system bus, and large 2 MB L2 cache. Other features include a 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of installed RAM (2 GB maximum), multi-format DVD burner (which can write to a wide variety of single- and dual-layer formats as well as CDs), Intel GMA 3000 graphics processing, Gigabit Ethernet, and a wide variety of expansion slots.

The preinstalled Microsoft Windows Vista Business features a new user interface, named Windows Aero, that makes it easy to navigate through the operating system and from application to application. For instance, Windows Aero helps you juggle multiple tasks at once by providing a three-dimensional, real-time, animated view of all your open applications and documents. Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

The Basics

Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 processor has a 1.80 GHz processor speed, fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and a large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include:
- Smart Memory Access: Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed.
- Advanced Digital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.
- Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core to help save power.
- Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage.
This processor also includes Intel's Viiv technology, which enables you to quickly turn the PC on and off (after initial boot) with a touch of the included remote thanks to Intel's Quick Resume function. It also offers specially-designed software that makes network configuration easy, for connecting to portable media players, DVD players, TV sets and stereos.
Hard Drive: The 160 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers more than enough room for multimedia presentations and storing valuable documents. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
Memory: The 1 GB of built-in memory (2 x 512 MB, 533 MHz) is a decent start for power users. But you'll want to max out the 2 GB capacity for working with today's demanding business productivity applications.
DVD/CD Drive: The multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It offers the following write speeds: 4x for dual-layer DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL; 8x for single-layer DVD-R and DVD+R; 8x for DVD+RW; 6x for DVD-RW; 5x for DVD-RAM; and 24x/16x for CD-R/RW.
Keyboard & Mouse: It comes with a multimedia keyboard and mouse.

1 VGA monitor port
2 PS/2 ports for connecting keyboards and mice
6 high-definition (5.1-channel) audio outputs

It also has an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

Operating System
The Windows Vista Business operating system is designed to meet the needs of business organizations of all sizes. For small businesses, Windows Vista Business will help keep PCs running smoothly and more securely so you will be less reliant on dedicated IT support. For larger organizations, Windows Vista Business provides dramatic new infrastructure improvements, enabling your IT staff to spend less time focused on the day-to-day maintenance of PCs. An array of sophisticated new backup technologies helps protect your information even in the event of a catastrophic hardware failure. And Windows Vista Business has a new user interface, named Windows Aero, which is designed to deliver new levels of efficiency for any business user. This new interface makes it easy to navigate through the operating system and from application to application. For instance, Windows Aero helps you juggle multiple tasks at once by providing a three-dimensional, real-time, animated view of all your open applications and documents.

Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail. All editions of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures long before you have lost any important personal data. And, all Windows Vista editions include parental control features that allow you to manage and monitor your family's use of games, the Internet, instant messaging, and other activities.

Worst PC I've ever owned -- for the 12 hours I owned it.......2007-06-05

Bought this at circuit city -- looking for a small form pc with Vista potential (avoid the upgrade fiasco noted around blogs and such) I installed it the next morning -- the system would reboot after every user input. It finally began to hum along and I do mean hum -- the thing sound like a 747 jet. After getting it to stay on for more than 10 minutes in an attempt to download the monitor software the system shut down proclaiming that "not enought resources were available to perform the task". I promptly packaged the thing and returned it to Circuit City -- be ware Circuit city mandates a 15% restocking fee on returned items -- irrespective of the reason for the return. I was forced to buy another PC at Circuit City in place of the ACER. They did not carry other small form PC's so that will remain my white elephant. If you do buy it despite my warning be sure to place it far from your desk to minimize the noise factor -- perhaps a spare room or the neighbor's house.

This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
Memory: The 512 MB of built-in memory (PC4200, DDR2 SDRAM) is on the low side for a home office desktop, but it offers a very fast 533 MHz speed. It has two memory slots, enabling you to add up to 2 GB of RAM.
DVD/CD Drive: The multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It offers the following write speeds: 4x for dual-layer DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL; 8x for single-layer DVD-R and DVD+R; 8x for DVD+RW; 6x for DVD-RW; 5x for DVD-RAM; and 24x/16x for CD-R/RW.
Keyboard & Mouse: It comes with a multimedia keyboard and mouse (both with PS/2 connections).

Product Description

Designed for today's digital office, the AcerPower 1000 is small and stylish yet packs a powerful punch. This ultra-compact system has a physical volume of just over three quarts (three liters), about one-tenth the size of typical tower desktops. The almost-silent operation of the AcerPower 1000 (26 decibels, better than the industry standard) is conducive to a productive work environment. In addition, its low power consumption prolongs component life and reduces long-term costs.
