Acer introduced the Aspire S24 and Aspire S27 all-in-one desktops at IFA 2026, bringing integrated computing to a wider range of budgets. These machines target home users and casual gamers who want a single-device setup without sacrificing display smoothness. The inclusion of high-refresh-rate panels and optional touch input makes these units practical for everyday tasks and light gaming. We see this as a move to simplify home office and entertainment spaces with fewer cables and a unified design.
High refresh rate panels and local AI models define the new all-in-one lineup
The desktops run on Intel Core 3, Core 5, or Core 7 processors, specifically the Core 3 304, Core 5 320, or Core 7 350 models. Each configuration pairs the CPU with up to 16 GB of single-channel LPDDR5 memory. This memory architecture keeps the internal footprint small while providing enough bandwidth for standard multitasking. Users can choose between the 23.8-inch S24 or the larger 27-inch S27 depending on their desk space.
Spec comparison
| Spec | Aspire S24 | Aspire S27 |
|---|---|---|
| Display Size | 23.8-inch | 27-inch |
| Resolution | FHD | QHD |
| Refresh Rate | 144 Hz | 120 Hz or 144 Hz |
| Processor Options | Intel Core 3 304, Core 5 320, or Core 7 350 | Intel Core 3 304, Core 5 320, or Core 7 350 |
The S24 features a 23.8-inch Full HD IPS display that refreshes at 144 Hz and covers 99% of the sRGB color space. The S27 ups the resolution to QHD and offers a 120 Hz or 144 Hz refresh rate on its 27-inch panel. Both screens cap out at 250 nits of brightness, which is adequate for indoor use but may struggle in direct sunlight. Both models also support optional touchscreens with pen input, adding versatility for digital note-taking or creative work.
Under the hood, the systems include NPUs that deliver between 15 and 17 TOPS of AI compute power. Acer states this allows the machines to run small, lightweight local AI models directly on the device. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and a mix of USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and Type-C ports. We also note the presence of an HDMI 1.4b port and an RJ-45 Ethernet jack for wired networking stability.
Acer has not yet released specific pricing or exact release dates for the Aspire S24 and S27. The company indicated that these details will be announced at a later date, with availability expected through Amazon. We looked at Acer Aspire 14 AI laptop launches in our earlier Acer coverage. Buyers should monitor Amazon for the final listing updates when the pricing information becomes public.
