For customers that are hip to the all-in-one PC form-factor, Acer has a new offering that is both stylish and powerful. The new Aspire S24 is incredibly thin, measuring just 0.235 inches thick in profile (the display portion). Acer says that the Aspire S24 is its thinnest all-in-one to-date.

The IPS display itself measures 23.8-inches diagonally and has a Full HD resolution. The display, which has 178-degree viewing angles, is framed by incredibly narrow 0.106-inch bezels all around, which give the Aspire S24 an impressive 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. The display is tiltable from -5 to 25 degrees and includes Acer ExaColor, BluelightShield and Flickerless technologies.

On the hardware front, Acer is offering up an 8^th generation Intel Core i5 processor paired with 12GB of DDR4-2400 memory. Storage is plentiful, with a 1TB HDD serving as a repository for your documents, pictures, and videos. When it comes to wireless connectivity, Intel 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 are included in the mix. As for physical connections, USB 3.1 Type-C, USB 3.1 Type-A, USB 2.0, Gigabit LAN and HDMI ports are provided.

And for those that have a smartphone that supports Qi Wireless charging, there is a charging pad built into the top of the Aspire S24's system base. There's also an SD reader included should you need to offload images/videos from a D-SLR. Rounding out the Aspire S24's featureset is a 2.1-channel system with two 2-watt speakers and a built-in subwoofer. Acer TrueHarmony and Dolby Audio Premium are supported to enhance the listening experience.

The Aspire S24 will be available later this month in the United States priced at $879.99.
