More vendors are continuing to enter the increasingly competitive all-in-one PC market. The latest is Acer America, which said Thursday it’s bringing its Acer Aspire Z3-605 Series all-in-one desktops to the Canadian market.
Sound is one area Acer is focusing on with these consumer all-in-ones, with two 3W front-facing Harman Kardon speakers built-in, as well as Dolby Home Theater v4 audio for improved output, including support for surround sound.
“Integrating Harman Kardon speakers is an important milestone and showcases Acer innovation and technology leadership,” said Frank Chang, director of desktop product management for Acer, in a statement. “Acer is the first in the market to bring Harman Kardon premium sound to a mainstream all-in-one desktop, setting a new standard. The Aspire Z3-605 delivers a dynamic, high-quality audio experience for music and movie lovers and furthers convenience and comfort with an ergonomic and adjustable frame and webcam.”
