Acer Aspire S24 Desktop With Qi Wireless Charger Launched: Price, Specifications

Acer has launched an all-in-one desktop called Aspire S24, its slimmest ever featuring a side profile of only just 0.235-inches.

The Aspire S24 comes with a Qi wireless charger - letting you charge compatible devices - and a free 30-day trial of Microsoft Office. The desktop is expected to take on Apple's iMac.

Other connectivity options include a USB Type-C port, three USB Type-A ports, and a USB 2.0 port. The PC comes with a wireless keyboard and mouse as well. The device sports a black and matte gold colour scheme.

The Aspire S24 runs Windows 10 Home and has two 2W 2.1 channel speakers with a subwoofer design with Acer TrueHarmony and Dolby Audio Premium.
