Meet the Acer Aspire Z 24
The Aspire Z 24 is an affordable all-in-one desktop with a potent six-core processor, though its cost savings show in its construction (it's plastic rather than aluminum, for instance, and even Optane Memory can't turn its hard drive into an SSD).
Thin Bezels
Like the latest laptops, the Z 24 features skinny screen bezels that help you focus on its full HD display.
Bottom Bezel
A faintly clunky-looking black plastic piece runs the width of the screen, and there's a gap between the edges of the display and the silver border that frames it.
Rear Ports
Around the back, you'll find HDMI-in and -out ports, one USB-C and two USB-A 3.1 ports plus a USB 2.0 port, and an Ethernet jack. The audio jack and SD card slot are up front.
Webcam
The 1080p webcam captures good-quality video, and the four microphones provide excellent, clean audio for online chats and conferences.
Keyboard and Mouse
A rather generic wireless mouse and keyboard come with the system. They work capably, but we disliked the mouse's narrow, pinched shape.
