Acer Aspire Z5610

The Acer Aspire Z5610 is an all-in-one desktop computer and the big brother of the Veriton Z280G which was released in August 2009. This model has a larger 23" 1080p HD touchscreen and comes with Windows 7 Home Premium with multi-touch support. Inside is an Intel dual-core E5300 2.6GHz processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory, ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570 512MB graphics and a 320GB hard drive. A DVD burner is also included as well as 802.11n WiFi, multi-card reader, HD 5.1 audio support and an integrated HD webcam and microphone. The sleek design and slim form factor of these new all-in-one desktops make them very appealing visually but the 5ms response time and large screen make them adequate for gaming and video as well. Also bundled is a host of multi-touch applications to take advantage of this new technology. Acer has announced availability to be just in time for Christmas 2009. The maxed out version is said to include an Intel Q9400 quad-core processor, 8GB of memory, Radeon HD 4350 graphics, TV tuner, 64GB Solid State(SSD) and 1TB hard drive.
