The Z410G's innards are rather humble. It packs a 3GHz dual-core Pentium E5700 processor, a 320 GB hard drive, and 2GB of RAM. It isn't the slickest multimedia machine, saddled with an integrated Intel G45 Express chipset, but it does have a 1920-by-1080 pixel native resolution 21.5-inch LCD screen. This business all-in-one also comes with a built-in stereo speaker system and microphone, along with a built-in webcam. It has 802.11b/g/n wireless and is pre-installed with the 32-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium.
Port-wise, the Z410G will keep you suitably connected as a business user. The left side of the chassis features three audio line-in ports, a total of six USB 2.0 ports, a gigabit Ethernet port, an eSATA port, a VGA out, a serial port, a COM port, a DVI in, and two PS/2 ports. The right side of the chassis offers two more USB 2.0 ports (that's eight, total) and microphone and headphone jacks. The Z410G also has a multi-in-one card reader slot and a DVD-burner.
The Z410G is one of the objectively less attractive all-in-one PCs we've seen. The 21.5-inch LCD screen is surrounded by a thick, squared-off black bezel, and sits somewhat awkwardly on top of enormous, silver stereo speakers. It certainly isn't going to win any prizes in the style department, though its matter-of-fact construction does reflect its desire to be taken seriously as a business machine. Still, we wish Acer would've spent more effort on the aesthetic appeal--the way the screen looks carelessly propped on top of the speakers is not attractive.
Located just below the screen on the right-hand side are a series of lights--some of these are notification lights (internet, etc.), while others indicate buttons that you'll find if you push your finger into the crack between the screen and the speakers. The included buttons control the screen brightness and the volume--not terribly impressive, but useful nonetheless.
The Z410G includes a basic keyboard and mouse (both with PS/2 serial connectors), neither of which is very comfortable. The keyboard is lightweight and matte-black, and has very large, wide keys. The keys are very flat and soft-to-the-touch--there's very little physical feedback, though the size of the keys makes a lack of tactile response less likely to affect your typing accuracy. The mouse is a simple, three-button affair, and is slightly uncomfortable with its sharply squared-off top corners. While neither the mouse nor the keyboard is a bastion of comfort, both will likely be fine for a casual user.
