Acer Launches Two Windows 10-Powered Desktops for the Holiday Season
Christmas Wish #3 - A New PC.
Wouldn't it be nice if it is this new Acer Aspire U5 Series?
Acer today announced two new
desktops powered by Windows 10 available for the holiday season: the sleek
23.8-inch all-in-one PC Aspire U5 Series, and the tiny 1-liter desktop PC RevoBuild
Series with modular design for easy customization.
Beautiful, Inside and Out
The new Aspire U5 Series
(U5-710) all-in-one PC features a sleek chassis of just 37mm, with a small and
elegant metal stand. It has a clean profile with the essential I/O ports [1] (HDMI
I/O, DC Jack, Ethernet, USB 2.0 and 2 x USB 3.0, TV tuner [2]) neatly
organized in the back, and the less-used ports and OSD button tucked away under
a flap on the side. The back cover of the Aspire U5 has a true-to-life textile
finish, made possible by new manufacturing processes with molds created with 3D
printing and laser engraving.
The Aspire U5-710 ships with the
latest 6thGen Intel® Core™ i7 and i5 processors, NVIDIA® GeForce®
graphics, and up to 16 GB memory providing a smooth experience for all kinds of
computing and entertainment purposes. In addition, the Aspire U5-710 features a
built-in Intel® RealSense™ Camera with depth-sensing technology, allowing users
to scan 3D objects, control the PC with gestures, or create a more lifelike
video chat environment.Users can also login to Windows 10 more securely with
their own face through Windows Hello support.
“Acer’s innovative
All-in-Ones powered by the new 6th Gen Intel Core processor will provide great
performance for consumers,” said Kirk Skaugen, Intel senior vice president and
general manager, Client Computing Group. “The 6th Gen Intel Core processor is
Intel’s best processor ever. Along with the Intel RealSense Camera, Acer is
delivering new experiences for gaming, home entertainment and collaboration.
Now is a great time to buy a new Acer PC.”
Crystal Clear Audio and
Visuals
The Aspire U5-710 features
a10-point multi-touch Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS display, which provides crisp
and clear graphics with wide-viewing angles and Flicker-less technology. Dolby®
Audio and Acer TrueHarmony™ allow it to fill the room with rich and powerful
sound, while Acer Purified.Voice along with dual digital microphones ensures users
are heard loud and clear.
Build Your Own Computer
The new Revo Build Series
(M1-601) Mini PC takes a modular approach to allow consumers to customize their
computer without opening up the chassis. “Blocks” with different features can
be easily stacked on top of the base unit, which makes adding functionality as
easy as playing with toy blocks. The “Blocks” are connected through pogo pins
with magnetic alignment so that there’s no hassle with wires when swapping out
modules.The Blocks can also work independently or with other PCs. The Revo
Build M1-601 desktop is packaged in a tiny 1 liter chassis with a 125 x 125 mm
footprint that takes up minimal space and can be placed almost anywhere.
“Blocks” such as the 500GB/1TB
hot-swappable Portable Hard Drive will be available at launch, while a Wireless
Power Bank for wireless charging, an Audio Blockwith speakers and microphones,
and other expansion “Blocks” will be rolled out gradually. The base unit comes
with a Intel® Pentium® orIntel® Celeron® processor with integrated Intel® HD
graphics, while the system memory of up to 8GB DDR4 RAM can be easily upgraded
by just loosening one screw.
