See why experts at Currys love the Acer Aspire C24 All-in-One PC
Traditionally, the biggest problem with desktop computers is the amount of space they take up. At the bare minimum, you're at least looking at a tower, a monitor, a set of speakers, and a keyboard/mouse. Multi-monitor setups require even more desktop real estate — room that many people simply don't have.
Mind you, there are benefits to that kind of setup. All other things being equal, a desktop system will almost always outperform a laptop at an equivalent price point. A more permanent fixture like a PC is also great for establishing a particular area's function, whether it's a home office, family room, or something else altogether.
What if we told you there's a way to get the best of both worlds — the benefits of a desktop system without the space requirements?
That's where the Acer Aspire C24-1700 All-in-One PC comes in. At 23.8'', the C24 spots a dazzling full-HD screen with narrow bezels, wide viewing angles, and incredibly deep, vibrant colors. Said screen is also built to reduce eye strain, with a blue light filter, flickerless design, and Acer's ComfyView display technology, which reduces light reflection for a better overall viewing experience.
The Aspire C24 is no slouch under the hood either. Its10-core Intel Core i5 processor, 512 gigabyte solid state drive, and 16 gigabytes of DDR4 RAM ensure it'll be able to handle whatever personal and professional workloads you send its way, from streaming video to Zoom meetings. The system also sports a built-in 5 MP webcam for improved video calling quality.
Other specifications include:
- AX WiFi 6
- Bluetooth 5
- Gigabit Ethernet
- Built-in stereo speakers
- Built-in stereo microphone
Perhaps most importantly of all, Acer's all-in-one system offers all of the above without requiring a case or tower. Everything is packed into the sleek and stylish monitor, which won the iF Design Award earlier this year for its combination of cutting-edge technology and space-saving design. The Aspire C24 has also been recognized by Currys via the Our Experts Love program.
Best of all, while supplies last you can purchase the C24 from Currys for just £699. There's also a 27-inch variant with beefier specs available from the same retailer for £849.00. Both variants include a keyboard and mouse and come with Windows 11 preinstalled, ensuring you can get started straight away.
Whether you're outfitting a home office, looking for a new streaming centerpiece, or simply need a system on which to do coursework, you'd do well to give the Acer Aspire C24 a shot. With a space-saving design that ensures it will fit well wherever you put it, excellent speed, and proven build quality, it's the perfect choice for your needs.
