Very handy that there appears to be a solid teardown video for this specific model. This should be encouraging for those seeking assurances on the mechanics of a RAM or storage upgrade. The video also highlights the proprietary power supply and proprietary motherboard combination.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdKe0PGicks

Of course, as correctly highlighted by some in this thread, the proprietary nature of the motherboard and power supply is likely irrelevant for most users seeking a sealed productivity box that could likely serve the target user well for years. Intel i-series 4-Core CPUs have proven to be solid long term productivity systems. Past performance is no indicator of future results, but other than a possible RAM upgrade in the future there's very little beyond underlying reliability that should worry the appropriate user about this PC for at least the life cycle of Windows 11 (and consider that when Windows 10 support closes in 2025 it will have lasted a decade).

Although the motherboard form factor is proprietary (with the front USB ports being integrated onto the motherboard), you could likely move this system into a cheap, roomier case if, for example, you wanted to expand storage (setting up a small server, for example). I've attached an image of a comparable Acer motherboard for visual reference.

Even as a sealed box these Acer small form factor deals have been about the most compelling price/performance desktop deals in some time.

Good luck!

It has a passmark rating of 8900+. It can handle most things most people do with computers, including online videos.

Two yr warranty, I think it's a solid deal for anyone looking for a computer. Passmark of 8900 makes it fine for a Plex machine as well.

Agreed. Here's a teardown vid for you upgraders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-My1sRI4DDU

Walmart and Acer shows these with a DVD writer, hopefully that's the case

This certainly seems great for most people, in school, elder, basic users, etc. 4 core 8 thread cpu is good for most things until you have niche uses. Probably should go a different direction for gamers and content creators. You cant build a cheaper system with these specs. I imagine the most reasonably cheap setup you can build yourself comes close to $300 new. I would prefer this over going for an all used parts build for all the hassle it comes with.

Just need to drop in a 3090 and it'll handle Crysis in Ultra mode ez

Edit: nvm just noticed it's low profile PC. You'll need a dremel cutting tool to cut parts of the case and a new PSU to drop in that 3090. Not ez
