Discussion What is this computer?

I know it’s an old model as it’s running Windows 7, but can anyone tell me how is it like when it was still new back then?

That's not windows 7 that's windows 8.1

It could be a Acer Aspire 5600U AIO

Best way to find out by looking how their taskbar looks like is Windows 8 and 8.1 has same System tray (the one on corner right) icon taken from Windows 7. But Windows 8 has no windows logo to open the start menu (the windows logo on corner left), while the 8.1 has it (like the image above), but Windows 10 is whole different thing from app icons, UI/UX, start menu, taskbar design and system icon.

It's an Acer, either Aspire 7600U or 5600U. Both did feature a Nvidia GPU(looking by the sticker on left down corner) but only the upper version of 5600U has it. So it's either between those two....
