Acer revealed a mega-drop of new gear at its IFA 2017 press conference this morning.Chief among the new releases is the Aspire S24, which is super thin at just 5.97 mm thick. There's also optional Intel Optane memory and Qi wireless charging on the base. 

Acer's Chromebook 15 has proved one of the most popular proponents of Chrome OS. There's now a new aluminum version with a cited battery life of up to 12 hours and a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display. 

Also upgraded with Intel's new 'eighth generation' Core processors are the sub-1kg Swift 5, everyday Spin 5 convertible and the Switch 7 Black Edition, a fanless 2-in-1 with discrete graphics. 

Acer also announced two 4G-connected 360-degree cameras. The Holo360 enables you to record, edit and share on the device, while the Vision360 is designed for in-car use.
