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.”

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. The Nitro 5 features Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 2x2 802.11ac wireless which offers Gigabit performance that enhances gaming, streaming, and conferencing experiences.

Acer Wins 13 Red Dot Design Awards 2018 @AcerAfrica #RedDotDesign #ChromeOS

Hi Friends,

Acer announces that thirteen of its products have been honored with the prestigious Red Dot Design Awards for design excellence. These wins come on the heels of Acer’s twelve wins at the recent iF Design Award 2018. This year, with industry-leading innovations such as the Swift 7, the world’s thinnest notebook, and the Acer Chromebook Tab 10, the first Chrome OS tablet for education, the Red Dot award-winning Acer products cover a broad range of categories, ranging from notebooks, desktops, headsets, monitors, to projectors. This exemplifies Acer’s commitment to making outstanding design an integral consideration for the user experience, regardless of product type and price point.

“We are thrilled that thirteen of Acer’s products have been endowed with such a prestigious honor and equally excited that so many of our product categories are represented among the winners,” said Tiffany Huang, President of Corporate Marketing, Business Planning, and Operations at Acer. “Not only are we motivated by our mission to make technology accessible to as many people as possible, but also to provide exceptional experiences via user-centric designs and functionalities on all classes of devices.”

Acer’s Red Dot Design Award 2018 winners are as follows:

Predator Triton 700 Gaming Notebook
The iF Design Award 2018-winning notebook’s svelte 18.9 mm (0.74 inches) thin, 2.45 kg (5.4 pounds) aluminum chassis houses a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display and best-in-class computing technologies for just the right balance of size and performance without sacrificing thermals, features or rigidity. Its understated black chassis features a minimalist design, with straight contours and angular front corners.

Predator Galea 500 Gaming Headset
The Predator Galea 500 gaming headset puts gamers right inside the game, giving them the ability to hear and not just see the exact location of elements within the game. It achieves this with Acer’s TrueHarmony™ 3D Soundscape technology and recreates the acoustic space based on the orientation of the player’s head, convincing the brain that sound is coming from a fixed direction.

Acer Swift 5 Notebook
The Swift 5 is designed for users who want superb portability, solid performance, and a touch of style. The elegant chassis weighs just 970 g making it ideal for people always on the go. A sophisticated selection of materials includes ultra-light magnesium-lithium alloys for the top and bottom covers, and magnesium-aluminum alloys for extra sturdiness on the palm rest area.

Acer Spin 5 Convertible Notebook
The Acer Spin 5 features a major breakthrough in design, namely its speakers. In the past, speakers found on convertible notebooks were easily obstructed while in certain usage modes. Acer overcame this with a practical design that ensures the speakers are never obstructed in any of the device’s four modes to ensure uncompromised audio.

Acer Swift 7 Notebook
At just 8.98 mm thin the Acer Swift 7 is the world’s thinnest laptop. The premium aluminum unibody is pleasing to the eye and gentle to touch, perfect for modern professionals seeking a sophisticated looking device. It has built-in, blazing-fast 4G LTE connectivity which keeps users productive and always-connected, especially useful for professionals who wish to eliminate tedious wireless connection problems on the road so they can stay focused on the task at hand. I had the opportunity to review this amazing device.

Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Notebook
Built for the casual gamer, the Acer Nitro 5 features a striking design that lets them stand out from the crowd. It sports a mysterious black carbon fiber laser-engraved pattern combined with a menacing red hinge that evokes the spirit of gaming, while also offering outstanding rigidity.

Acer Chromebox CXI3
With solid performance powered by up to 8th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, the Acer Chromebox CXI3 is a great choice for desktop scenarios in computer labs and libraries. The Acer Chromebox CXI3 features a compact design that fits neatly into all sorts of environments and can be placed freestanding with the included stand, or secured to the back of the monitor with an optional VESA mounting kit.

Acer Chromebook Tab 10
Designed for education, the Acer Chromebook Tab 10 will be used in K-12 classrooms to expand and enhance student learning by bringing the speed, simplicity, and security of Chrome OS into the tablet form factor. It will support an augmented reality in the future to allow students to experience new ways of learning with Expeditions AR. Expeditions AR is Google’s augmented reality technology that maps the classroom and places 3D objects in it for students to study, making subjects such as biology, geography, and astronomy easier to comprehend.

Acer Veriton N Series Desktop
The newest generation of Acer Veriton N modular desktops features a space-saving, customizable mini PC designed that allows the addition of 1-liter module add-ons for M.2 SSDs, ODDs, HDDs, I/O ports, card readers and graphic cards for easy tool-less expansion and upgradability.

Acer Nitro RG0 Series Gaming Monitor
The Acer RG0 series gaming monitor is small in form, but big on gaming. The Full HD monitor features an incredibly slim 7 mm profile and is designed to enhance the gaming experience with a ZeroFrame design that maximizes its viewable screen area, Radeon Freesync™ technology, vivid IPS panel and 1 ms MPRT.

Acer Nitro VG0 Series Gaming Monitor
The Acer VG0 series gaming monitor is an entry gaming monitor that offers a true-to-life color experience. It is able to do this with Radeon FreeSync™ and IPS technologies, while its ZeroFrame design further enhances the gaming experience by maximizing the viewable screen area. The display sits atop of a sharply-cut three-pronged stand that exudes gaming.

Acer VL7860 Projector
The Acer VL7860 projector raises the bar for home cinema entertainment with laser image quality. It is equipped with an innovative laser diode that provides 3,000 lumens brightness and 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) resolution with 8.3-megapixel on-screen display. The VL7860 features a compact design that allows it be easily set up in a wide range of environments.

Acer C200 Projector
The C200 LED projector features an amazingly compact (110 x 120 x 30 mm) and lightweight (350 g) form factor that makes it ideal for use outdoors, such as during camping or a day at the beach. With its built-in battery, the C200 can go just about anywhere. The C200 is also a handy tool for work on the go, especially when an impromptu presentation is required.

#AcerForYou 2017 Blogger Road Trip – Making @AcerAfrica Your Partner in Life

Hi Guys,

Acer being a fast changing, fast revolutionising brand has taken its reach a step further. This month Acer Africa kicked-off its 2017 blogger campaign called “The #AcerForYou Blogger Road Trip” which aimed to make Acer a brand that fits into your life.

Conceptualised to bring Acer into the homes, work places and into personal lives of the everyday person, the aim was to communicate the versatility, appeal and features of the newer Acer notebooks. Local celebrities and influencers were brought on board the Acer road trip and invited to take this ride with the brand.

Kicking off on July 6th – lifestyle and travel blogger Anna-Belle Durrant embarked on her three-day long road trip, with her stylish Acer Swift 7 and mighty Ford Everest courtesy of Ford South Africa, around the beautiful and metropolitan city of Johannesburg. Along the way Durrant visited savvy businessmen Kojo Baffoe (Kaya FM radio presenter) and ProVerb (Idols SA host), Hlubi Mboya (actress and celebrity athlete), Gert-Johan Coetzee (fashion designer), Maya Mia (Beauty Instagramer) and Tiana Cline (gamer and tech enthusiast) over the period.

Each day brought with it a new experience and learnings on how Acer can become your partner in life, and not just a device. Durrant, along with her partner for the day demonstrated how an Acer device can be used in different locations, environments and how these Acer influencers use their notebooks in their daily lives for business, fitness and even fashion.

The #AcerForYou Road Trip ran from July 6th till July 8th with many highlights throughout. Durrant says, “I think it's important that brands are starting to look at people as individuals and not as a whole. As the #AcerForTravel ambassador I got to meet and engage with some incredible personalities who are passionate about their particular lifestyles and I love that Acer caters to each and every one of us.”

She adds, “Acer has provided me with such a different adventure through which I could experience and learn more about the brand. I had a memorable trip and met some amazing people who are just as passionate about Acer’s message as I am. It was fun, insightful and I loved every minute of it!”

Acer is breaking the barrier of what we perceive notebooks to be. New devices such as the Spin 7, Swift 7, Nitro 5 and the Aspire S13 are slim, versatile, sleek and easy to transport on the go. Whether you are a business person, blogger, traveller, fashion designer or even a celebrity – Acer caters to all your needs while being aesthetically pleasing.
