Let me start by saying this Acer Aspire C24 all-in-one desktop is a stunner. The 23.8" edge-to-edge display makes my old monitor look ancient, and the space-saving design gives my tiny home office a much cleaner look.

The setup was mostly painless - I had it running in about 15 minutes flat. That 512GB NVMe SSD? Lightning fast. I timed it booting up in under 10 seconds, which still impresses me weeks later when I'm rushing to start work.

For everyday tasks like browsing, streaming Netflix, and document work, this machine absolutely sings. The built-in webcam (finally not one of those awkward clip-ons!) has been great for Zoom calls - though the mic could be better at filtering out background noise.

Now for the not-so-great: The speakers are... underwhelming. They're serviceable for system sounds but for music or movies? You'll want external speakers pronto. Also had a weird hiccup where YouTube videos wouldn't load until I disabled hardware acceleration - apparently a known Windows quirk rather than an Acer issue.

The wireless keyboard/mouse combo works well once paired (pro tip: the USB receiver hides inside the mouse battery compartment!), though some users report connectivity issues that required tech support to resolve.

Gaming performance is decent for casual titles but don't expect to run Cyberpunk on high settings here. My nephew happily plays Minecraft and Among Us without complaints though!

Bottom line? If you need a stylish, space-saving PC for everyday computing that won't break the bank, this Acer delivers solid value. Just manage expectations around graphics-intensive tasks and budget for external speakers if audio quality matters to you.
