Acer has revealed its latest Chromebooks, with the Chromebook Spin 713 tapping Intel's Project Athena for maximum performance from Google's OS. Promising a premium twist on Chrome OS, the notebook pairs a tough reinforced aluminum chassis with a 360-degree hinge and 10th Gen Intel Core processors.
In addition to announcing a new lineup of gaming notebooks and desktops today, Acer also revealed a line of gaming accessories. Acer’s announcements include a grand total of five monitors, a new Cestus gaming mouse, and even a gaming chair. If you’re surprised to see Acer announce a gaming chair, it’s safe to say you definitely aren’t alone.
Acer announced a bunch of new machines today, and among them were gaming desktop refreshes aplenty. Specifically, Acer announced new Predator Orion 3000 and Orion 9000 gaming desktops, along with a new desktop in the Nitro 50 line. Counted together, it seems these new desktops cover a fairly wide range of specifications.
Acer has added a new range of rugged notebooks and tablets to its line-up, with Enduro promising tougher construction for those who can't coddle their computer. Four-strong at launch, the range included two toughened laptops and a pair of tablets, with features long-forgotten from most consumer hardware like easily swappable batteries.
Acer has revamped its gaming notebooks, with a quartet of laptops packing Intel 10th Gen Core processors and up to 240 Hz displays. The new Predator Helios 700, Helios 300, Triton 300, and Nitro 7 run the gamut from starting at $2,400 down to under $1,000, with NVIDIA graphics running across the line.
Acer has doubled-down on its ConceptD Series, its range of Windows PCs - along with peripherals - aiming to coax creatives away from their Mac obsession. The latest line-up includes a pair of notebooks, one convertible and the other a traditional clamshell, that straddle the line between portability and performance.
Among the slew of notebooks, tablets, and gaming machines Acer revealed today, the company also announced a Swift 5 refresh. Those who are familiar with the Swift line already know that the 2020 Swift 5 is going to be an ultrabook in pretty much every sense, with Acer specifically touting the notebook’s “ultrathin-and-light” design.
Back in September 2019 - which feels like ages ago with everything that's happened in 2020 so far - Acer introduced the world to its interesting looking C250i projector. Billed as a portable projector that's primarily for use with a smartphone, the C250i first launched in EMEA in January. After a months-long wait, the C250i is finally arriving in the United States today.
Acer has revealed two new performance notebooks, the Predator Triton 500 and Nitro 5, each targeting gamers hungry for Intel's new 10th Gen Core H-Series processors. Headed to the US in May, the new laptops pair Intel's latest silicon with NVIDIA graphics and WiFi 6.
Acer showed up to the BETT show in London with a handful of new products aimed at students today. The first is a new 12-inch Chromebook, which is joined by a pair of new TravelMate Windows laptops. While they may not do much to excite Acer's regular customers, we could very well see these notebooks show up in classrooms after they release this year.
For quite a few years, most of the new computers came out with Intel inside, mostly because of a lack of serious competition. With AMD's new Zen architecture, Intel's old rival has gotten back into the game and OEMs have once again started putting AMD processors right beside Intel's. That definitely seems to be the case with the new Acer Swift 3 series but while consumers may be able to choose between two competing processors, they aren't able to choose what comes with those.
Acer's Creator PC range is getting two new additions at CES 2020, with the Acer ConceptD 7 Ezel notebook and ConceptD 700 workstation promising beefy Intel chips, NVIDIA graphics, and eye-catching designs. First announced in April 2019, the ConceptD line-up targets designers, engineers, and other creators, particularly those who might typically head straight to their nearest Apple Store when they need a new machine.
