Fun fact. Or rather a sad one. Back in January 2007 I played through Quake 4 at an internet café with framerates of 4-6 most of the time, occasionally reaching about 10 in some places, but falling down to 1-2 during heavier fights. I had simply tried the first level and got interested. There were some computers with better hardware, but Q4 wasn't installed on them. So I played through the first couple of levels and then in the next week or two kept playing and finished it. I have no idea why I did it. Perhaps I'm a stoic in nature, but I wouldn't have done that if I could choose again. Still I have fond memories of Quake 4.

Aw man, seeing this slim-factor Acer brings back memories. I had one several years back and it had the AMD Phenom quad-core apu. It did all of my gaming for quite a few years. I then swapped the internals into a larger case and added a normal size (and larger capacity) power supply and an actual gpu (HD-5750 if I remember correctly) and it continued to be my gaming rig for a couple more years. Was really impressed by Acer.

I used this thing way back in the day to play through the very first campaign of Path of Exile at what I would guess is sub-20-fps. The whole thing was $200 or less new, and it got me through some serious poverty-times. What a blast from the past.

Yes it was balls hot, and not something I would want on my lap(that's just the Intel Atom N270 in general), but it did it, and never shutdown, or thermal throttled.

I can't stand Ebay people who pull that crap. I sell quite a few parts and recently I had a "Buyers Remorse" Ebay buyer. God, are they annoying.... I had sold a Threadripper processor w/ motherboard for a really cheap price. Around 250 or so. So after I send it, I notice that the new Ryzen series 5 came out. Two and a half weeks later, I get a message from the purchaser stating that the "Sound wasn't working". Yes... The sound wasn't working..... I instantly knew this person had buyers remorse, "aka: LYING". I had tried working with him saying I will either send 30 bucks OR send him a brand new boxed Sound Blaster card which was around 40 bucks. But nope, he wanted his money back and opened a case. I have built 100's of computers and servers and have had only 1 computer about 10 years ago have a sound chip not working. I had stated there were no returns or refunds on the Ebay listing. But as lovely Ebay does, they said I had to take it back. But yes, you know who you are who pull this crap..... I wouldn't trust you in real life if I knew you.

Don't know if you remember my comment on the amd dual graphics video, but the computer I did it on was actually an acer aspire with the same chassis as this one. It's a different model with a motherboard that has an FM1 socket, and honestly, the performance has been great for what it is. Warframe runs at 60fps most of the time and Elite Dangerous at a fairly stable 35. This video was actually great for me once again because I've thought about swapping the mobo in it for a mini ITX one as well, just to get some modern hardware in there. Now I know it's going to fit in there for sure(ish). I would certainly be easier off just building a new machine but I happen to love the case amd size of the aspire.

On Win 7, they're good enough to watch Streams or some other light stuff.

Reminds me of the E350 ITX board I impulse bought for $50. It's a passive affair with a truly compensatory heat sink attached to it. (Why I bought it.) Sadly I don't think it's designed to handle the relatively heavy stuff I threw at it, and I think I cooked it. Last time I tried to use it it was prone to crashing. However, this video convinced me to dust it back off and see if I could coax it back into existence. Granted, I'm pretty sure the $5 Optiplex 745 running a Pentium D and GT 710 outperforms it....

the AMD E2, especially the mobile variant, is honestly one of the slowest processors i've ever had to deal with. it took close to 5 minutes to boot, and barely ran more than 1 application without slowing down significantly. sure, the battery life was alright, but that's on paper. in reality, the time you'd be waiting to load ANY application cuts into that time anyways. even when idle with 0% usage on cpu and disk, it still took about 5-10 seconds just to open the control panel. P.S. the only possible bottleneck would be the memory, as it was about 4 GB of generic DDR3L (thank god it was dual channel though).

As a teenager I had a hp laptop with an e1-6010 and an integrated one called r2 graphics with 512mb dedicated and 4gb in ram and well ... it was disastrous, for games it was a shame, but hey, with some adjustments I managed to run l4d2 somewhat stable And some indies from back then (hollow knight, cuphead)

That PC is perfectly fine for a small low power server/NAS. I have a number of HP T610 (I believe that you "reviewed" one of those as well) which sport the similarly spec-ed G-T56N, assuming yours has a E2-1800, and they run Ubuntu server just fine!

It can be used as an audio server. Download Daphile iso and install it. It doesn't even need a monitor and you can control it through a browser on another computer on your home network. Can be used to play internet radio or music you put on it's hdd. I'm using some 10 year old Atom with old 2.5'' drive and it works flawlessly. It's visible in local network so it's easy to upload files with just Windows explorer.

Try old benchmarks on this machine! Quake, Half Life, etc. Might be neat to stack it up against high-end machines of those eras.

Maybe that other board with the E2 just had bad RAM, have you tried swapping it out? And if you did so and it still freezes, the oven-method comes to my mind! 😉

I’ve had the same problem with the PC not recognizing the drive. It’s most likely that the drive doesn’t have a letter set for the designation. I’ve fixed it through control panel looking at all of my connected devices

I put windows 10 on everything these days. Will even run on less than 4GB RAM. Will it be a smooth experience? Open edge and see 😂 Fair play though man. I have a build at the moment which was designed around a 'dead' motherboard that i saved, only for it to start bluscreening after i spent £150 on a 960 4GB to go with the I5-2500. It's definitely not the GPU.. and even though i can probs get another mobo for £30, it is just heartbreaking to have built what was a decent PC for a few days, and have to take it apart again 😂 Keep up the good work dude.

Curious how far you'd get using this on a day to day basis, browsing the web, watching youtube, social media and light office work. Video editing, playing games probably will be out of its league. Still I wonder if it would be a good emulation rig and or if Android X86 or RetroPi (for PC) would be something that would make it usable as a retro gaming rig?

Next time the drive doesn't recognize at windows install, when you get to the first install page, instead of continuing. Press Shift+f10 and you'll get a cmd. then type, diskpart, hit enter type, list disk, enter type, select disk 1, (Whatever disk you need to make bootable) type, clean, enter type, convert to gpt, enter and if you made it that far you'll be able to install windows.

That PC isn't much different from my old eMachines that I got from Walmart, even a decade ago they were really only meant for basic usage so they'd probably not be that great even for that nowadays. I still used said eMachines PC as recently as 2018 and it was struggling with web browsing.

The AMD E1 and E2 CPUs were mostly for netbooks and low powered systems used for office or school work, so gaming would be restricted to games from the early 2000s like GTA: San Andreas. And what's with opening a box with a pair of scissors?

I ended up with a scrap system in the same case, with a slightly less crappy CPU, but still very bad, but I like the overall form factor of the case. It would be almost perfect, if only there was proper ventilation holes and room for fans for the graphics card low-profile slot, it could work as a gaming PC (not with the original components mind you, lol)
