Hi Friends,

Powered by up to the latest 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 and Intel Core i7+ processors, the newest 15-inch Nitro 5 offers improved speed and threading efficiency to gives users the ultimate thrill as they battle with friends online.

“Acer is excited to be among the first to offer the new Intel Core i7+ processors with our new Nitro 5 gaming notebook,” said Jerry Hou, General Manager, Consumer Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer. “The new Nitro 5 provides exceptional performance at an accessible price point which exceeds the needs of most casual gamers, and also professional users that need to power through their tasks on the go.”

“These latest 8th Gen Intel Core mobile products are our highest performing, designed to push the limits of gameplay and content creation.

Built for Performance and Control
The Acer Nitro 5 ships with up to the latest 8th Generation Intel Core i7 and Intel Core i7+ processors offering an improved six-core design, an emphasis on premium performance so users never drop a frame or miss a beat while the action unfolds, and Intel® Optane™ memory that increases responsiveness and load times. NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti graphics[i] allow for a truly immersive graphic experience with faster rendering, finer textures, and dynamic lighting to snipe enemies hiding in even the darkest shadows. Up to 512 GB of NVMe PCIe solid-state storage is available on the Nitro 5, providing plenty of space for apps and games while enabling ultra-fast bootup times. The Nitro 5 features up to 32GB of DDR4 memory, which draws 20% less power than DDR3 memory for more efficient gaming sessions. Once on the battlefield, Acer’s NitroSense utility monitors the status of the CPU/GPU, while CoolBoost technology adjusts the fans for optimal performance.

Styled for Domination
The Nitro 5 offers bold refinement not commonly seen in a gaming laptop, thanks to its elegant laser texturing and understated matte hinge. The crimson red hinge beautifully matches the futuristic design of the backlit keyboard, while the 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display produces brilliant imagery with crisp details. A front-facing HD web camera lets users strategize with the squad as they prepare to unleash terror on the competition and celebrate together after victory is secured. Users can also easily broadcast games live with Mixer, directly from the Game bar on Windows 10 simply by pressing the Windows key plus G.

Audio Excitement and Gigabit Wireless
With high-quality audio as an essential component for gaming, Dolby Audio™ Premium and Acer TrueHarmony™ technology ensure the finely-tuned speakers pick up on any would-be attackers entering the scene.

#AcerForGaming Breaks Through Gender Bias @AcerAfrica

Hi Guys,

Have you ever played Candy Crush, Tetris, Farmville, Solitaire or Minesweeper? Then you are in fact categorised as a gamer. #AcerforGaming is embarking on an endeavour which will showcase the company’s commitment to the development of woman in gaming. In an event last night in Johannesburg, Acer along with leading professionals and enthusiasts hosted an event aimed at showcasing how accessible and valuable the Esports industry really is.

When the term gaming comes to mind the stereotypical thought is to envisage teams of young adult males spending days in isolation clutching controllers and staring at computer screens, a label Acer is set on changing in the near future. One of the most astounding facts that have recently come to light is that 41% of gamers are in fact female, many over the age of 50.

Pippa Tshabalala, presenter, avid gamer and mother of two recalls fond memories of how she started playing games on a video console at a very young age. According to Tshabalala, gaming has been an integral part of her life which she has now also introduced to her sons. South African born, Sharon ‘ShazZ’ Waison has been gaming from the age of 13 and now competes internationally, already boasting several titles among them as winner of the Copenhagen Games where she partook in an all-girl group. ShazZ is one of the latest female gamers taking steps to challenge the dated idea of gaming.

Although the world of gaming may seem like an unattainable abyss, according to both gamers you simply need to start by deciding on what ‘game’ you like to play and start there. "Lately we are seeing more women stepping up and being more comfortable to play games – a phenomenon we are welcoming," says Belinda Marais, Marketing Manager of Acer Africa. Playing Candy Crush and Farmville have been known to assist with innovative problem solving and utilising resources. Something that many decision makers within the industry are required to do. “You may be of the opinion that you are simply passing time and playing to relax, however you are building strong skills without even realising it” Acer has the Nitro Series, VNitro and the Nitro 5 which are versatile machines that double up as day-to-day devices and fulfil your gaming needs.

Some criticism in gaming has been that it may lead to unsocial behaviour, but Tshabalala disagrees, “My sons love playing outside as much as they love playing PC Games. For me it’s all about a sense of balance in all things. SHazZ also mentions that being disciplined and exercising self-control to manage gaming in your daily routine, “Everything in moderation”.
