Acer America i3-8100 3.6 GHz 8 GB DDR4 256 GB SSD desktop PC

Aspire TC-865 desktop for business users

The Acer Aspire TC-865 is a new black desktop built around an Intel Core i3-8100 quad-core processor running at 3.6 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory, a 256 GB SSD and Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. The compact tower includes an 8X DVD-RW drive, SD card reader, Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making it ready for typical office workloads. A 300 W power supply powers the system.

DVD-RW, dual video outputs and wireless connectivity

An 8X DVD-RW double-layer drive handles legacy media and local backups without external hardware. Both VGA and HDMI ports are present, so the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 can drive two displays simultaneously using shared DDR4 memory. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth remove the need for separate adapters, while the SD card reader provides a direct path for camera or phone media.

8 GB DDR4 and 256 GB SSD with 32 GB ceiling

The 8 GB of installed DDR4 handles everyday multitasking such as document editing, web browsing and video playback smoothly. The 256 GB SSD offers fast boot and application launch times for the OS and core programs. Memory can be expanded to 32 GB via the 288-pin DIMM slots when larger datasets or heavier multitasking are required. Buyers who need more storage or discrete graphics for intensive rendering will find the base configuration limiting.
