The Acer Aspire S24 Is An $879 All-in-One PC With Touches Of Class

Acer’s Aspire S24 caught our eye in a way few all-in-one PCs do, because we almost didn’t catch it. At 0.235 inches, the display on the Aspire S24 is blink-and-you’ll-miss-it thin, a refreshing change from the chunky, top-heavy profiles of most machines in this category.

The super-slim screen makes the Aspire S24 look premium, even though at its heart it’s still a mainstream PC. By focusing on the display technology, Acer gives it some distinction, balancing value with design. This is a machine you could place at a reception area or have out in the family room with no aesthetic risk. And it has one more forward looking surprise, too.

PRICING AND SPECS

Announced recently with a starting price of $879 and available later in April, the Aspire S24 is a solid mid range machine. As you can see from the following specs, it has a notable drawback in the storage department.
