The thinness of the Aspire C27 is what stands out most about its design. From the front, the system doesn’t look like much. It has thin bezels around a display that sits on a V-shaped stand. Behind the bottom half of the screen are all the parts.
The top half of the screen is only 0.25 inches thick. With a width of 24.2 inches and a height of 17.7 inches, the Acer is smaller than the 27-inch iMac and weighs less than half as much (only 8.8 pounds versus 19.7). The Aspire is a good choice not only if you have a small budget but also if you don’t have much space.

Where to get Acer Aspire C27?
As was already said, the Aspire C27 and the 27-inch iMac have very different screen resolutions. The Acer’s full HD panel (1,920 by 1,080 pixels) doesn’t even come close to the resolution of Apple’s Retina 5K screen (5,120 by 2,880 pixels). To be honest, 1080p resolution works better on a 22- or 24-inch screen and looks too small on a 27-inch diagonal screen. When you sit at a normal distance from the screen, text and icon edges look fuzzy, and you can see individual pixels.
A 720p webcam sits on top of the screen. The camera is just as bad as a cheap webcam on a laptop. The image was underexposed and full of noise or static, which means it was dark and grainy. It’s not really good for Zoom meetings or really anything else. Maybe that’s why the Aspire C27’s top half is so thin; it makes it easy to attach an external webcam. At least the camera has a physical privacy shutter so you can cover the lens you hardly ever use.
The most important thing that’s missing from this short list is a USB Type-C port. If you have a USB-C storage drive, phone charging cable, or other device, you’ll need to keep an adapter on hand. The system also doesn’t have a place for an SD card or a microSD card. Want to find the power button? It is in the middle of the bottom edge below the screen.
