Acer Aspire 7600U All-in-One review: Big screen, little performance |
November 28, 2012
The Acer Aspire 7600U-UR308 is an impressive-looking system, with a large, 27-inch touchscreen, edge-to-edge glass bezel, and clear glass base. However, it’s also got a mobile processor, which means it’s less powerful than its desktop-processor-sporting counterparts.
Our review model, which costs $1899.99 as configured, sports a third-generation Intel Core i5-3210M processor, 8GB of RAM, and a discrete Nvidia GeForce GT640M graphics card. The Aspire 7600U also has 1TB of hard drive space, a 27-inch touchscreen, built-in Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n, and a Blu-ray optical drive. The 7600U runs Windows 8.
Performance
In PCWorld’s WorldBench 8 benchmark tests, the Aspire 7600U scores a less-than-impressive 51 out of 100, which means that the system is 49 percent slower than our testing model. This score isn’t really a surprise – in order to maintain the 7600U’s slim profile, Acer has placed a mobile processor, instead of a desktop processor, inside the all-in-one. The similarly-slim Vizio CA24T-A4 desktop has the same processor as the 7600U and, subsequently, the same WB8 score of 51.
Comparing office productivity results to the somewhat similar Sony Tap 20, the Acer scores 907 versus the lower 730 score of the Sony, although the Sony has a slower Intel mobile Core i5 3317u processor.
