hey guys how's it going so in today's
video we are going to look at an
all-in-one desktop so this is an
all-in-one desktop from Acer 20 19
Edition and the model number is Acer
Aspire C 24 all-in-one desktops are
really awesome you get the power of a
full fledged
desktop but you don't have an ugly tile
sitting in your desk
I think all-in-one computers are perfect
computers for home use whether you want
to put them in your kitchen or your home
office or you know the living area or
the common area where everyone in the
family can use this computers Acer
Aspire z24 this looks like a traditional
monitor from few years back it's only
1.4 inches thick and all the guts of the
PC are actually behind the monitor when
you take a look at it at a casual glance
it just looks like any other 24 inch
monitor the aesthetics on this computer
is really pleasing it has this silver
metallic silver color which looks really
nice the stand is metallic silver but
then you have this matte black strip
going along the silver side this gives
it a very polished and a really cool
look and I really like the aesthetics
which Kaiser has delivered on this PC I
think this design is going to complement
any setup so whether you have a home
office setup or whether you want to put
this in a family room or a common area
in your house where you know it will be
visible to everybody who comes to your
house it's not going to stand out as an
ugly sore you know unlike a traditional
desktop PC so I think this is a
fantastic all-in-one desktop computer
as far as e24 sports a nice wide screen
24 inch monitor and this is full HD
display so you get 1920 by 1080
resolution and the panel is really nice
good quality LED backlit LCD panel the
bezels on this monitor are very minimal
so it gives this edge to edge display
look which looks really nice so thumbs
up to a cell for coming up with very
elegant design till now you only had
companies like Apple who would come out
with this you know really cool-looking
all-in-one desktops other manufacturers
you know and I'm talking
companies like HP Dell they make
all-in-one desktops but they're all in
one you know the aesthetics never looks
good it always looks like an old-school
PC the screen is really bright with the
viewing angle of 178 degree so this wide
and viewing angle means that when you
are looking at the monitor you don't
have to look at the monitor you know
right from the front you want the
monitor to have very good viewing angles
so that you can still read the text and
clearly see what is on the monitor even
if you are looking at a skewed angle but
it is not all bed of roses
there is one negative it is the lack of
touch screen so this particular model
that I am talking about this does not
support touchscreen Acer does make
another configuration of z24 which comes
with a touchscreen and it also has a
more powerful processor and a more
powerful GPU but that one goes for about
250 to 300 dollars more and if you are
interested I am actually going to throw
a link to both these configurations so
the one that I am talking about today
and the more expensive one which has a
touchscreen so the prices vary but it's
about three hundred dollars more
expensive so click on the link below in
the description to check the exact price
okay let's talk about the hardware specs
now as far as e24 its rocking and ninth
generation Intel Core i5 processor
specifically this is Intel Core i5 9 4 0
0 T this is a 9 generation Intel coffee
Lake processor so this processor comes
with 6 cores and 6 thread the CPU base
frequency is 1.8 gigahertz and the
maximum turbo frequency is 3.4 gigahertz
which means that this processor is
capable of overclocking to 3.4 gigahertz
to meet more demanding tasks the total
thermal dissipation or the TDP is only
35 watt and this is a really good thing
this means that this processor is going
to run cool and you will not have the
system overheat and you will not have
the fans kick in and make a lot of noise
and you have to remember one thing right
that cuts of the PC are sitting behind
the monitor so it's not like you have a
desktop tower which you can hide
somewhere under your desk or somewhere
away so you want to make sure that this
guy doesn't make lot of sound
if it gets hot and if the fans start
blowing you will hear it because it's
all happening right
behind the monitor so this is a very
good choice of processor now this also
comes with integrated Intel graphics
specifically Intel u HD graphics 630
which is very powerful graphics and you
will have no trouble playing any 4k
content like you know 4k streaming from
Netflix or YouTube or even casual
gameplay you will not have any issues
with that the combination of a six core
Intel Core i5 processor and the UHD 630
graphics this is fantastic platform for
everyday computing now let's look at the
CPU mark of this processor and compare
it with the top ten common desktop CPUs
so this CPUs course nine thousand nine
hundred seventy six average CPU mark and
this puts it smack in the middle of the
top ten common desktop CPUs which you
see here so obviously it's not going to
compete with the high-end
AMD Rison seven or Core i7 processor but
this performance is pretty good for the
intended purpose like I said before any
kind of casual gaming or if you are
doing streaming or if you are surfing
social media or any of that kind of work
this CPU is going to handle everything
adequately it has six cores which means
you can throw multiple tasks at this
processor and it is going to breeze
through them without any problem so
overall I think this is a very good
choice by Acer the combination of this
Core i5 processor along with the
integrated graphics will give you more
than adequate performance for most of
the day-to-day work office suite Excel
PowerPoint word processor you shouldn't
have any problem even video editing for
example integrated UHD 630 is more than
capable of doing 1080p and even 4k video
editing remember Intel integrated
graphics
it supports Intel Quick Sync which is a
hardware accelerated API so when you use
any video editing software like the
Adobe suite or the Vinci resolve these
software will be able to utilize the
Intel integrated GPU for video encoding
okay now let's talk about the system Ram
this configuration which I have picked
it comes with twelve gig of ram now if
you are brave enough and if you are
willing to open the back of this monitor
you have access to the dim slot so I
will throw a link in the description of
the compatible ddr4 memory module which
will
work with this computer so this computer
also comes with SSD which is 512
gigabyte in size so that's a pretty good
generous amount of solid-state drive
that the SL is providing this makes the
PC really fast and it boots in under 10
seconds so I'm very happy with the
performance that the combination of the
processors GPU the system ram and the
SSD gives now if you want to upgrade the
SSD it is doable but it's going to be a
pain in the ass because opening the back
of this monitor is not easy frankly
speaking I think the better option is to
buy an external SSD you can buy USB
type-c SSDs and you can neatly connect
them and hide them and they won't even
be visible so I think that's a better
way of increasing the storage I will
throw a link in the description of a
compatible USB type-c external SSD which
will work with the system so overall I
am very happy with the performance of
this laptop like I said before the
combination of this processor in along
with the integrated graphics 12 GB RAM
and a really fast 512 gigabyte of SSD it
gives this a very snappy performance if
you are into social media surfing you
know watching videos on YouTube Netflix
or if you are doing the productivity
work like Microsoft Office or Excel Word
PowerPoint or even software development
on various platforms this computer is
going to handle all those with ease
casual gaming at 1080p resolution is
going to work without any problem so
fortnight pub G and all those kinds of
games you will be able to play them
without any stutter
something notable in this computer is
the digital assistant so what Acer has
done is they have partnered with Amazon
and they have added Amazon Alexa support
and so this is not a half as Alexa
support what they have done is they have
added dedicated hardware so near the
webcam there are four dedicated mics
these mics are able to pick up your
command from more than four meter away
okay now let's talk about the ports and
connectivity Acer z24 it comes with one
USB type-c port this is the fast USB 3.2
you also get four USB type a ports and
one of these ports is the old-school USB
2.0 and this one is actually situated
under
monitor and this is basically meant for
a USB dongle so if you have a wireless
keyboard and mouse and you want to
attach that tiny dongle say from
Logitech or something you can put it in
the USB 2.0 it's not going to be fast so
this is not meant for data transfer rest
of the USB s are all fast USBs and they
will give you you know the fastest speed
which the generation 3.2 supports so I
think from a port connectivity I am very
happy the rest of the USB ports are
behind the monitor so they don't look
ugly you also get two HDMI oats and the
HDMI situation is actually very
interesting so one HDMI port is the HDMI
out and you can use this to connect a
second monitor so if you want to have
like a dual monitor setup you can do
that and if you for some reason want to
use this computer as a monitor so say
for example you have a laptop or you
have some other desktop computer and you
want to hook it up to this guy you can
connect it to the HDMI IN and then it
just becomes a dumper monitor now
something very interesting which most of
the other companies companies like Apple
don't give you and that is a DVD Drive
so yes there is a DVD drive there is an
8 X DVD read/write and it's nicely
tucked in on the right-hand side of the
monitor so you won't even see it and
unless you eject I'm actually surprised
that Acer was able to cram all this in a
24 inch monitor with you know 1.5 inch
thickness so this is pretty good by the
way when you buy this all-in-one desktop
you will get a wireless keyboard and
mouse which are nothing extraordinary
but they do the job now if you are
interested in buying more fancy keyboard
or mouse you can always do that so I
will actually throw a link in the
description of some cool mechanical
wireless keyboards and if you are
interested you can get those they have
RGB lighting and you know all that cool
stuff okay so here are my final thoughts
I really like the look of this
all-in-one desktop from Acer they have
nailed the aesthetics it looks very
clean and if you have wireless keyboard
and mouse then the only cable that you
will have is the power supply and you
can neatly tuck it under the monitors
basically you will not have any clutter
you can put this anywhere in your house
you can put it in your kitchen you
living area or in your home office and
it will look very elegant it is powerful
enough to do most of the things that
people would want to do on their desktop
and it is also very quiet all the guts
of the PC are hiding behind the monitors
so on your desk it just looks like a
cool looking monitor so I will highly
recommend Acer z24 to anybody looking
for a all-in-one desktop this is
definitely better than HP and Dell
offering like I said before there are
two offerings there is one more
expensive version which has touch
support and I can see a lot of scenarios
where you would want to have a
touchscreen so if you are interested in
that I have thrown a link to both the
non touch and the touch version and you
can check the price by clicking on those
links both are available on Amazon but
the touch version is almost 250 to $300
more expensive remember that it's not
just the touch screen that you are
getting the more expensive version
actually comes with a core i7 processor
and it comes with more system RAM so you
do get more benefit so that's it guys
