The Acer Aspire S All-in-One PC is available in either 27-inch or 32-inch models. The 32-inch PC comes with up to a 13th Gen Intel Core i7-137000 desktop processor and Intel Arc A-Series graphics.

The chassis of the Aspire S All-in-One is aluminum and its display is tiltable to fit different desk setups. That WQHD screen is surrounded by “near-borderless bezels,” as highlighted by Acer. Despite the thin bezels, the PC has a 1440p QHD webcam with a ring light accessory, though it does stick out a bit on top of the device. Acer EyeSense facial recognition software and a Windows Hello-enabled fingerprint reader add security to the PC while also providing a pair of login options.
