The NVIDIA GeForce MX250 is now available in builds of the Acer Swift 5, a laptop that's gotten this refresh at IFA 2019. This newest version of the Acer Swift 5 will be released starting in either September or November, depending on region. The newest version of the Acer Swift 3 was also revealed with Intel's latest with 10th Gen Ice Lake processors.
Acer brought gaming power to IFA 2019 with the Predator Triton 500, a notebook which is one of the first in the world to roll with a 300Hz refresh rate. This is just a tiny bit quicker than the previous best in displays such as this - at around 240Hz. Earlier this year the HP Omen 15 was revealed as the world's first laptop with 240Hz display - now we're at 300Hz here at the tail end of Q3, the same year.
The Predator Thronos is a gaming chair - an amalgamation of parts made by Acer to exemplify the most extreme state of gamer they're able to offer. They made this device not to appeal to the masses, but to draw our eye from the competition. This is not the first time we've seen such an offering from Acer - in fact this is the second "Thronos" the company's revealed - they revealed the first almost exactly one year ago. That was the Predator Thronos, this is the Predator Thronos Air.
A new wave of top-end gaming monitors are coming this summer, and Acer's bringing some of that first heat with the Nitro XF2 Series. Two models will appear this summer: Nitro XF252Q and XF272 X. The former costs approximately $350, the latter around $550. The former is out in stores now, the latter will be available later this month.
Acer has launched one of the thinnest, lightest laptops available with the new Swift 7 model. This insanely svelte ultrabook sports a 14-inch display, two USB-C ports, and an impossibly slim design that demands attention. The laptop arguably sets a new bar for ultrabooks as far as portability is concerned, but how does it perform as an everyday work and play laptop?
It's been quite a while since Acer updated its Nitro 5 gaming laptop and its Swift 3 thin-and-light notebook but now that it is, it's making quite a bit change. Granted, these two new models aren't exactly the first of their kind to be powered by AMD's mobile Ryzen processors. But with the jump to AMD's latest Ryzen chips for portable computers, Acer is promising enough power for HDR visuals for streaming and gaming.
Acer held an event in New York City today where it announced a lot of new products, and its Predator line in particular got a lot of love. Not only are we getting a pair of new Predator Helios laptops, but we'll also see the company launch a new gaming desktop, a new display, and a collection of accessories. There are even more products aimed at gamers outside of the Predator lineup, as Acer is launching two refreshed Nitro notebooks as well.
Acer showed a collection of PCs this week and a whole load of newly empowered notebooks (or laptops, if you prefer) - plus a couple of new Chromebooks for good measure. These machines look a lot like they did in their otherwise most-recent iterations, with most changes happening under the hood. Included in the mix were the Acer Chromebook 715, Chromebook 714, TravelMate P6, Spin 3 (with stylus!), Aspire 1, Aspire 3, Aspire 5, and Aspire 7.
Today, Acer took to the stage in New York City to announce a slew of new products, and one of the most interesting machines it revealed is the Predator Helios 700 gaming laptop. On the surface, the Helios 700 might look like your garden variety gaming laptop, with its beefy build and its RGB keyboard. However, that seemingly straightforward design is hiding an interesting quirk: A slide-out "HyperDrift" keyboard.
Acer has revealed its new ConceptD line, looking to squeeze onto the desks - and into the hearts - of content creators who may be feeling abandoned by Apple. The new range will include desktops, notebooks, monitors, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets, putting top-spec processors, storage, and graphics into cleanly cohesive design.
Chrome OS was and always has been designed for use with a keyboard and mouse but its predominant form has been laptops. But just like Android, that has never stopped anyone, be it users or even OEMs, from taking the OS and putting it in other form factors. Many of those Chrome OS devices have all but disappeared but Acer had just announced two new Chromebase all-in-one computers to give the dying breed one last hurrah.
Like a couple of its competitors, Acer has showed up to BETT with a slate of new Chromebooks for education. Today the company announced four new Chromebooks altogether, and they all share a few key specifications. Chief among those shared specifications is an 11.6-inch display and a fair degree of ruggedness that comes with meeting MIL-STD 810G in tests for temperature, humidity, mechanical shock, rain, dust, and sand.
