Acer America Aspire TC-1775-UR11 i5-14400 8GB DDR5 256GB NVMe + 2TB HDD desktop PC

Ready for everyday work

The Acer Aspire TC-1775-UR11 is a new desktop built around a 14th Gen Intel Core i5-14400 processor with ten cores and sixteen threads. It ships with Windows 11 Pro, 8GB of DDR5 memory, a 256GB PCIe NVMe solid-state drive and a 2TB 3.5-inch hard drive. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 730 handles the display output through two HDMI ports. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, a Gigabit Ethernet port, a USB 3.2 Type-C connector, four USB 2.0 ports and an SD card reader. A USB keyboard and mouse are included.

Suits office and home users

This system suits people who need a reliable machine for web browsing, email, document editing and video calls. The dual-drive layout gives a fast boot drive plus ample space for large file archives. Buyers who want discrete graphics for gaming, 3D rendering or multi-monitor workloads beyond the two HDMI outputs should look elsewhere. The 300-watt power supply and compact chassis also limit future graphics-card upgrades.

Storage and memory headroom

The 256GB NVMe drive holds the operating system and frequently used programmes with room to spare for active projects. The 2TB hard drive comfortably stores years of documents, photos and backups. Eight gigabytes of DDR5 memory handles typical multitasking but will become a bottleneck with many browser tabs, large spreadsheets or virtual machines; the board has free slots for expansion.
