Although Acer didn't give any stage time its new all-in-one entry, the 27-inch Aspire Z7871 made a fairly good first impression sitting idly by next to the Aspire S5. Measuring 3.5cm thin at points (the bump on the top third of the computer is a fair bit larger, but still very thin), the computer features an LED HD touchscreen, the "next-generation Dolby audio optimization" (which we couldn't really test at the noisy event), a number of USB ports and TV tuner, and an minimal stand design. More interesting to us is the bundled chiclet keyboard, which has similar design aesthetic and a bundle touchpad that doubles as a virtual numpad when you activate the screen. No word on specs. The representative we spoke with said it should be coming out in second quarter of this year.
