Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3O Desktop User Review
- Very economical computer. I wanted to use Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3O Desktop for gaming, but I had to make other upgrades to it. It really can't run origin games. It would crash trying to run some of them, other the quality was really low and it would lag. But, the good news is that there's plenty of room to add a large graphics card and extra RAM stick in the case. It has two extra spots for hard drives too, one of them being attached to the dvd optical drive though. I've had it for a few weeks and I've had no problems. Good computer choice for anyone
- The Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3O Desktop, 8th Gen Intel Core i3-8100, 8GB DDR4 was easy to setup. My 5 year old Dell I3646 was getting old and slow. The TC885 is fast. Startup to login - approx 9 seconds. It's fast on my software programs I use. It runs quiet and does the job. I don't think you would want this for heavy gaming unless you make some additions. For light games it's great. For my needs this PC is perfect. I recommend the Acer TC-885.
- Have been running Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3O Desktop for a little more than a month - still running well. It is a good basic computer with excellent features and can be upgraded. Runs very quiet, partly because it does not have a case fan. I ran it all day most days for the first month just to put some miles on it to burn it it. So far so good. Looks good, small size fits well on desktop. Keyboard and mouse were not very good so I replaced them with a better set. Bought some small speakers to go with it so I could have sound. Boots fast, loads software fast, has a good wifi connection with my router two floors up. Got a used monitor to go with it. All in all, it seems to be a good unit.
- Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3O Desktop is the latest Intel i3 offering. There is plenty of RAM. The HDD is generously sized. This system is very fast for its class. If you are a serious gamer, look at the Alienware units with the liquid cooled processors. If you are into high end graphic or video processing, look at i7 units. Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3O Desktop will suit the needs of the huge majority of home computer users. The only thing I don't like is the cheap keyboard. Hence, the one point deduction. Pick yourself up a nice quality keyboard for $30 or so and you'll have a really nice set up. And be aware, no monitor is included. Happy computing.
- I primarily use a Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3O Desktop for Word, Excel, Skype/Zoom, research, YouTube and social media.
- Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3O Desktop gives me all I want in a computer at a fantastic price. I am amazed at how much better performance gets each year all the while prices are declining. This computer is easy to set up, it operates much faster than my old computer which had a much slower processor and only had 4GB of memory. The Acer Aspire has a very fast Intel i3 Processor, 8 GB DDR4 Memory plus 16 GB Optane memory. It also has a large hard drive 1 TB and an 8X DVD. Hard drives are getting larger and larger while more and more of our data and programs are being stored in the cloud. The hard drive is way more than I’ll ever come close to utilizing. This is a lot of computer for a very competitive price. Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3O Desktop is not intended for or marketed as a gaming computer. For general purpose use, this is a great product.
- Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3O Desktop has been an excellent computer so far. It's not a gaming machine in our house, but we use it heavily for graphic design, video editing, and using with crafting machines like the Brother ScanNCut and Silhouette Cameo. It runs super fast and smoothly, even with huge graphics files. It boots fast and stays cool under pressure. We're really happy with it.
- I am really impressed with the processing speed and power of this Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3O Desktop. Although hardware doesn't seem to be changing in desktops as rapidly as when I bought my first computer in the 90s, the software updates seem to hinder and slow down my computers as the code is often written with a lot of bloat. Especially true if you use your computer for a lot of graphics intensive gaming. This Acer Aspire TC-885-ACCFLi3O Desktop was easy to set up and at such a great value, it makes a great gift as a gaming computer for a teen or child.
