@AcerAfrica #Predator Z301CT Monitor wows CES Award Judges #CES2017

Hi Guys,
 

The Predator Z301CT monitor has captured a big win leading up to CES 2017 with the “Best of Innovation” award, the #1 prize in the Computer Peripherals category.

The “Best of Innovation” award for the Predator Z301CT monitor means that the judges deemed it to be the most impressive technology in the computer peripherals category and that it scored higher than all other entries. The Predator Z301CT is the world’s first 21:9 curved monitor with eye-tracking functionality. The monitor’s eye-tracking technology adds to a gamer’s arsenal of control tools, helping them to intuitively aim, target and shoot faster than competitors who only have access to a keyboard and mouse.

In addition to the Predator Z301CT the Swift 7, the world’s thinnest notebook, as well as the Spin 7, the world’s thinnest convertible notebook, were also named “Honouree” in the computer hardware and components category. Since their unveiling at IFA 2016, both notebooks have much received international acclaim, including Japan’s Good Design award.

@AcerAfrica Awarded Japanese #GoodDesignAwards For Ultra-Thin-And-Light #Notebooks

Hi Guys,

Acer latest range of ultra-thin-and-light notebooks have been honored at the 2016 edition of Japan’s Good Design Award, including both the Acer Swift 7, which is the world’s first notebook to measure less than 1 cm thin, and the convertible Acer Spin 7, weighing just 1.2 kg. The abTouchPhone, a touchscreen multimedia IP desk phone, was also awarded for its full range of practical communication features, and also for its simple yet elegantly designed appearance.

Acer’s winning products stood out from over 4,000 entries, and were selected over a rigorous five-month screening process involving 76 international jury members. Screenings were held not only in Japan but also in South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

Jury’s Evaluation of the Acer Swift 7
“The thinness and functionality of a laptop PC conflict with its operability, but the Acer Swift 7 strikes an appropriate balance between the two elements. The streamlined shape of the PC, which is less than 1 cm thick, makes it look visually thinner than it actually is, and the product generally has a robust yet elaborate image due to its use of cut and molded aluminum alloy as a material. Furthermore, despite its thickness, it provides a favorable touch button, and the use of a large touch panel achieves both a beautiful design and ease of use.”

Jury’s Evaluation of the Acer Spin 7
“Consumers have growing expectations for convertible laptop PCs as smartphones become more common and these convertible laptop PCs are expected to be used on occasions different from those for ordinary laptop PCs, and unlike the latter, the former also needs to meet various needs in terms of structure. The Acer Spin 7 is light and slim, and under these restricted conditions, it uses a rotary touch panel, meeting user needs in various situations through its 14-inch monitor and fan-less design. The case made from an aluminum alloy adds a sense of high quality to the product while ensuring its sturdiness. The Spin 7 boasts of outstanding performance as a hybrid convertible PC.”

Jury’s Evaluation of the abTouchPhone
“As smartphones offer increasingly diverse functions, users are also looking for installed touchphones. Using highly-functional and high-quality communications, this product meets the above-mentioned needs of users while they are busy at work or leading their busy lives. Another characteristic is its simple yet elegantly designed external appearance.”

About the Good Design Award
The Good Design Award is hosted by the Japan Institute for Design Promotion, a public interest incorporated foundation. It’s precursor, the Good Design Selection System (or G Mark System), was founded in 1957 by Japan’s Ministry of International Trade and Industry (the current Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry), and has engaged in this field for about 60 years. Submissions come from a wide range of industries, and roughly 1,200 designs are recognized every year.

 

Cheers!!!

Hi Guys,

In celebration of the recent announcements at IFA 2016, Acer Africa partnered with acclaimed South African designer Gert-Johan Coetzee for the launch of his “Autumn Winter Collection 2017” for SA Fashion Week 2016 at The Four Seasons Hotel, Westcliff. The partnership, a bespoke collaboration aligning fashion and technology design encompassed both Acer’s “leading the trend in style” and Gert-Johan’s showcase that is dedicated to Africa’s iconic, endangered species.

The ultra-thin, lightweight notebook PC’s that formed part of the installation comprised of three devices, namely the Acer Swift 7 - the thinnest notebook in the world, Acer Spin 7 and the Acer Aspire S13. These new ultra-thin models feature Windows 10 and include something for every budget and lifestyle. Part of the installation allowed guests and dignitaries to interact with the Acer devices on display in their natural aesthetic environment.

In a South African first, Gert-Johan invited fans and media from around the country and globe to witness his showcase live through his @gertjohancoetzee Instagram account. This gave everybody unable to attend, a front row seat to one of South Africa’s most beloved designers latest collection. “Partnering with Acer was a seamless integration for us”, says Gert-Johan Coetzee. “Their product portfolio is more of an extension of one’s personality which allows it to effortlessly fit in to the person you are”.
