Question 1

Can the optical drive play a cd?

Accepted Answer

The optical drive supports both DVD and CD, but not BluRay.

Question 2

What model year is this

Accepted Answer

I don't know when it debuted.
Its CPU is latest 12th generation.
But everything else seems yesteryear.
• motherboard chipset is PCIe 3.  modern level is PCIe 4 and 5.
• SSD is PCIe 3 - around 2500/1200 MB/s.  modern PCIe 4 SSDs deliver 7000/5000 MB/s.
• USB is 5 Gbps.  modern USB 3.2 is 20 Gbps.  (USB 4 is 40 Gbps).
• ethernet is 1 GbE.  newer PCs have 2.5 GbE ethernet.
• wireless is not old, at level wifi-6.  but latest level is wifi-6e with 6GHz band.
• DRAM is DDR4 3200.  newer PCs have DDR5 4400.
so it seems to me, with the exception of CPU and wireless, this is a pretty lackluster old design.
--------------------------------------------
that's what I'd say if I Reviewed this PC.
actually, I did.
but Amazon deleted my Review and won't let me re-post it.

Question 3

Cpu fan on tc–1760 noisy after less than a month.  how purchase a replacement?  does not look like standard size.

Accepted Answer

If you're still within your RMA window with Amazon, I'd RMA the defective thing.
Acer so-called warranty requires YOU PAY to ship the unit to them.
That would cost more than the fan is worth.
Just get a refund.
It's the only practical thing to do.
---------------------------------------------------
I just called that phone number which Acer America Manufacturer posted.
It would not connect me to support without an "SNID", but I persisted by typing "0" and after around 10 times got connected.
The phone agent there would not supply me with a link for the Service Guide and LIED that it does not exist.
I pointed out I have the previous TC-1660 model Service Guide, and some Aspire forum users state they have this TC-1760 Service Guide.
Then the agent told me to call back during working hours.  8am Central Time.
in other words, The Run Around.

Question 4

does this computer have speaker? I do not want to wear headphone, earphone or add extra speakers

Accepted Answer

It does not.  Windows 10 has Bluetooth, though, so you could connect a cheap Bluetooth speaker that would be far superior to any speaker you'll find installed in a computer.  Something like an Oontz Angle 3, which Amazon is selling for $25.
