Ever wondered if there could be better speakers for your PC than the common $5-$10 ones most of us have? Well, I know I did.

It’s been for years that I used the cheapest of the cheapest and the worse of the worse speakers available simply because, I didn’t thought it would make a big difference.

Now this will be a small review of the best speakers I ever had: the Logitech G51 Speaker.

Long story short, after years of using crappy speakers and allowing my ears to get used to their horrible sound i, decided that for a gamer like myself it would be a nice upgrade, I mean, I had the money and, my computer hardware is at its best so, I thought: ‘ahh what the hell… I’ll buy the darn thing” even thought, I never considered the speakers as a major part of my personal gaming experience.

After examining some other speakers, reading review online and of course, consulting with my fellow gamer friends, I decided to go for the Logitech G51 Speaker and, this is because of it’s relatively comfortable price and the fact that about 80% of my friends recommended me to buy them.

Now, I personally didn’t knew what to expect after I easily assembled them to my computer and launched Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and, this probably the best way to describe what went through my mind when the game finally loaded: “I hope it was a good investment… I mean they are only speakers what possib….. OH MY DEAR GOD!!! did a grenade just blew up in my bedroom?! Is there a sniper in my room?! what is going on?!” I’ll tell you what what going on. the Logitech G51 Speaker.

Let’s put the incredibly outstanding sound quality aside for a second and focus on the amazing realistic sound that was blasting out of my brand new speakers! The bullets sounded like bullets, the boot steps of my fellow commandos made me feel like they are with me in my room, preparing their assault on the kitchen and, the explosions made me feel like I’m fighting the Nazis in the first 10 minutes of “Saving Private Ryan”. I honestly never thought that the Logitech G51 speaker will be able to increase the experience and the fun of gaming by like 10 times!

Bottom line is, get these speakers and get them now. I don’t care if you get them from a friend or from a discount on amazon or whatever… trust me, you will thank me later!

I’m adding a link here to a page on Hubpages which describes the Logitech G51 Speaker in a little more detail, providing test videos and other cool info. Before you press on the link I give you, put a smile on your face and excuse me for being a little crazy with my review, I know I tend to get very excited when I’m satisfied!

Specifications

The Acer AZ5700-U2112 has a 23-inch screen and uses an Intel Core i5-650 CPU.

The machine has 4GB of DDR3 RAM, an 8x DVD burner, Intel HD graphics, 802.11n WiFi, and a 1TB SATA HDD.

The machine isn’t on the Acer website at the time of writing, but you can pick it up at Newegg for $1009.

Benchmarks

To test out the Acer AZ5700-U2112 I will use my iTunes encoding test and my movie encoding test. The first test up is the iTunes encoding test.

The Acer AZ5700-U2112 took 1:11 to encode my Stone Temple Pilots Core test album from AAC to MP3 format. This is hands down the best performance ever from an AIO in this benchmark. The movie encoding test was equally impressive with the Acer AZ5700-U2112.

For this test, I take the Magic of flight video and encode it from WMV 1080p to XviD 1080p format. The machine took only 175 seconds to encode the video, absolutely demolishing the other AIOs I have tested.

In Use

After the Acer AZ5700-U2112 destroyed the other AIOs I have played with in benchmarks, I started to use the machine for normal computer work and media duties.

This AIO is as at home playing video and doing computer work as it is breaking benchmark records. I worried that the Intel integrated graphics might hold the machine back for watching streaming video.

I worried for nothing, the Acer AZ5700-U2112 has excellent media streaming capabilities.

I was able to stream the highest resolution Hulu offers in windowed and full screen mode without a hint of stuttering or playback issues. The machine also plays DVDs with ease as well.

Acer ships the Acer AZ5700-U2112 with a wireless mouse and keyboard. The mouse has about 800 dpi, which is plenty of sensitivity for the 23-inch screen of the AIO.

The keyboard has decent typing feel and a full assortment of media control keys to keep the movies and video under control.

The big screen is glossy, which means lots of glare. That glossy screen is very well suited to playing video content though. It offers crisp , bright colors and good black levels.

All that means that the video and movies you watch here look fantastic.

One of the more interesting features of the Acer AZ5700-U2112 that you don’t find on some of the other AIOs on the maker it’s the touchscreen.

Touchscreens on an AIO aren’t that uncommon, but what is uncommon is a touchscreen that is very accurate.

You can touch options on a small drop down list with accuracy, which is something many AIOs can’t do.

If the links and onscreen controls are large enough for you to touch the screen is accurate enough that you won’t be hitting the link below or beside what you really wanted.

The Acer AZ5700-U2112 also ships with a wireless remote for controlling the content from across the room.

That remote comes in handy if you use the integrated antenna connection on the AIO to hook up an antenna for local OTA TV channels.

The onboard sound system is also better than your average computer.

The speakers have enough volume to be heard across the room even if the room isn’t that quiet.

The only irksome thing on the Acer AZ5700-U2112 is that the wireless mouse and keyboard have to use an adapter that takes up one of the available USB ports.
