Differences between Acer Veriton L4630g and Fujitsu Esprimo P756

If you are looking for a more modern desktop, then you should go with the Fujitsu Esprimo P756 which was released in 2016. The Acer Veriton L4630g is older and entered production in 2014.

If you are looking for the smaller form factor the Acer Veriton L4630g is the right one for you. It is smaller than the Fujitsu Esprimo P756 and will fit more easily under your desk.

Processor

Usually the newer the generation of the CPU, the better the performance and efficiency is. If your budget allows it, you should go with the Fujitsu Esprimo P756 as it is running a newer generation CPU. This is not to say that Acer Veriton L4630g is bad - it can still run some powerful CPUs, albeit being an older generation.

Memory

The Fujitsu Esprimo P756 has 4 RAM slots while the Acer Veriton L4630g has only 2 slot(s). This is not something to worry about. Just make sure you take it into consideration when planning how much RAM you are going to use.

The Fujitsu Esprimo P756 is using the faster 2133 MT/s RAM. The Acer Veriton L4630g is slower by supporting RAM speeds of up to 1600 MT/s. Additionally, if you will be needing a lot of RAM, better go for the Fujitsu Esprimo P756 as it has the ability to run 64 GB of RAM. The Acer Veriton L4630g can do a bit less at max 16 GB. Most of the times, this should be sufficient for the majority of users.

Ports

Both models have the same amount of USB ports for total count of 10. If this is not enough, using a USB hub is always a viable option. None of the desktop models has a USB 3.1 port (10Gb/s), so if you need a fast connection to your peripherals, like external Solid State Drive, you will need to look elsewhere.

The DisplayPort is usually the more popular video port used with desktops and laptops, while the HDMI is used predominantly in consumer electronics. That's why, it is good to see that both of the models come with a DisplayPort.

None of the models has an HDMI port. If your monitor supports only the HDMI interface, you will need to buy an adapter. Such adapters are cheap so nothing to worry about.

SATA ports are placed on the system board and it is where you connect your HDD, SSD and Optical Disk Drives. More SATA slots will allow you to have more drives running at the same time. In this regard the Fujitsu Esprimo P756 is better equipped as it comes with 5 SATA slot(s), while the Acer Veriton L4630g has 1 slot(s).

If you want the fastest transfer speeds for your SSD, an M.2 interface is crucial. Thus, if the M.2 SSD slot is a mandatory requirement for you, go with the Fujitsu Esprimo P756. Sadly, the Acer Veriton L4630g has no such slot, and you will be forced to use the SATA interface instead.

Make sure that the available M.2 slot supports the PCIe (also called NVMe) interface. This is important as there are M.2 slots which support only the inferior SATA III interface. For comparison, the SATA III interface has max speeds of 6Gb/s, while the PCIe 3.0 x4 will support speeds up to 32Gb/s!

Power Supply

Having a Power Supply Unit with high power rating is important, if you are going to use components which require extra power. The Acer Veriton L4630g comes with a decent 135 Watt PSU, but the Fujitsu Esprimo P756 has a more powerful one rated at 280 Watts. Choosing either one depends on your specific requirements and use case. Also don't forget that some models might have more than one PSU option - try to always get the most powerful one, especially if you plan to upgrade to a powerful GPU.
