3 Reasons to Go For The #HUAWEIMateBookB Series for Commercial Usage @HuaweiZA

Hi Friends, 

Huawei doesn’t believe in compromise. It is possible, the international technology giant consistently proves, for devices to have it all: powerful technical capabilities, an easy and intuitive user experience, and beautiful aesthetics. The HUAWEI MateBook B Series, now available in South Africa, is no different.

The new generation HUAWEI MateBook B Series includes the HUAWEI MateBook B7-410, B3-520 and B3-420. These new lightweight laptops are designed to support the needs of professional users across various industries and to meet the demands of an always-on, always-connected, remote working world.

Strong performance

The HUAWEI MateBook B Series comprises laptops that are ultra-slim, light and compact – and powerful, too. Inside, they boast an up to 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 processor, capable of keeping up with the most stringent tasks you set for them. This new generation processor is manufactured with four cores and eight threads, making its performance 22% better than its predecessor and enabling it to handle resource-intensive apps with ease.

In the flagship HUAWEI MateBook B7-410, the processor is also integrated with Iris® Xe Graphics, which is meticulously calibrated by Intel. Rivalling entry-level discrete graphics cards, Iris® Xe Graphics enables the HUAWEI MateBook B7-410 to meet all your audio-visual needs.

All three laptops feature an NVMe PCIe SSD, which offers a higher read speed than the SATA SSD. This gives a remarkable boost in loading apps and files, ultimately delivering a smoother and faster performance.

To keep you on the go, powerful battery life and fast-charging support also come standard.

Seamless user experience

The new HUAWEI MateBook B Series is specifically designed to help professionals enjoy an all-scenario working experience. This means ensuring your working life is available to you no matter where you are or what device you’re using.

This is most obvious through Multi-screen Collaboration, which comes pre-installed on all HUAWEI MateBook B Series devices. Simply tap your Huawei smartphone against your laptop screen and enjoy all the benefits of having two devices on a single display. Working smarter, more efficiently and more productively has never been so easy.

With the HUAWEI MateBook B Series, there’s also exceptional business continuity support. All HUAWEI MateBook B Series devices are eligible for an up-to-five-year warranty that gives your business access to professional on-site repair services and a 24/7 technical support hotline. In the event of hard disk failure, Huawei will return your faulty hard disk, ensuring that your business retains full control over your data.

Desirable aesthetics

Of course, the HUAWEI MateBook B Series is just as impressive on the outside as it is on the inside.

The HUAWEI MateBook B7-410 features an ultra-lightweight unibody made of aerospace-grade aluminium. Weighing just 1.33kg, the laptop makes for an ideal companion for remote workers who are highly mobile. It also features a 13.9-inch 3K touch display with a screen-to-body ratio of 91%, offering an expansive viewing area on which to work.

The all-around HUAWEI MateBook B3-520 and B3-420 are lightweight and portable laptops that feature metal builds and minimalist designs. In addition to housing the MateBook-signature FullView Display, which offers an immersive viewing experience, they also boast the TÜV Rheinland certification for low blue light, which help to alleviate eye fatigue.

To ensure swift and seamless connectivity for everyone in your business, the HUAWEI MateBook B devices features a dual antenna high-speed Wi-Fi 6 connection. Coupled with a Wi-Fi 6 router, the laptop supports transfer speeds of up to 2.4Gbps, around 2.7 times faster than the rate of Wi-Fi 5, which lets users enjoy a fast yet stable internet surfing experience.

The HUAWEI MateBook B Series is the answer to every need posed by the business world – now and into the future. These laptops can be bought through Pinnacle and Mustek.

@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.

@HP_S_Africa Brings Premium to Life With 18k #Gold and #Diamond Limited Edition #PC Artistry

Hi Guys, 

At the New York Times International Luxury Conference, HP Inc. brought to life the premium PC experience with world-renowned designers Tord Boontje and Jess Hannah, unveiling two distinct, limited edition notebooks that encapsulate luxury with texture, diamonds and 18k gold.

Based off the 13.3” (33.8cm) diagonal HP Spectre, the world’s thinnest laptop, Boontje and Hannah worked side by side with HP designers to conceptualize and construct their own unique, lavish designs. A limited number of devices from each designer will be auctioned at the Cannes Film Festival in May with the proceeds going to the Nelson Mandela Foundation. 

“We have brought in the designers to create an extraordinary experience on our thinnest laptop ever, reinventing how luxury design and powerful laptop technology can come together to create spectacular works of art,” said Stacy Wolff, vice president, design, Personal Systems, HP, Inc.“We are showcasing the possibilities of marrying technology with glitz and glamour, allowing the PC to become an expression of style.”

Dutch-born, London-based designer Tord Boontje created the HP Spectre by Tord Boontje that exhibits delicate, intricate and dreamlike pattern across the laptop. The ornate graphic pattern integrates cherry blossoms, graceful florals, a peacock and an exquisite butterfly. The 18k gold plated accents provide rich contrast with the patterns that gently intertwine with embedded Swarovski crystals set in a floral pattern against a deep Midnight Blue.

Jess Hannah, a Los Angeles-based jewellery designer of eponymous line J. Hannah, created the HP Spectre by J. Hannah with opulent 18k gold. The notebook top and rear is completely plated in 18k gold with a highly polished finish. HP’s logo is encrusted with diamonds, each carefully placed by a diamond setter. Even the keyboard deck is plated in 18k gold to match the top cover and the power button is covered with diamonds for sparkling brilliance. The all over gold accented with a hint of sparkling diamonds displays Hannah's minimalistic design philosophy.

The PCs will be auctioned with the proceeds supporting the Nelson Mandela Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on memory, dialogue and legacy work, founded by Nelson Mandela in 1999. They are the custodian of his life and times, and are a committed facilitator of his living legacy. The organization promotes Mandela’s lifelong vision of freedom and equality for all.

@AcerAfrica Expands #Predator #Gaming Line with #VR-Ready #Desktops #NextAtACER

Hi Guys, 

At Acer’s next@acer Global Press Conference in New York, the company announced new notebooks, desktops and monitors in its powerful and award-winning Predator gaming line. The new Predator 17 X notebook and compact Predator G1 desktops include top-of-the line computing technology and are NVIDIA GeForce VR-Ready(1), ready for virtual reality (VR) devices from Oculus, HTC Vive, OSVR and StarVR.

“The new Acer Predator gaming systems are designed to deliver the ultimate gaming and virtual reality experiences for our customers,” said Jerry Kao, president of IT products, Acer Inc. “Virtual reality offers unlimited new possibilities, not just in gaming, but across a wide variety of industries and applications in professional environments. As we showed today in our VR partner demos, Acer intends to give our customers the tools they need for both playing and working in this new digital world.”

Predator 17 X Notebook - Conquer New Worlds with Desktop Grade Components and NVIDIA® G-SYNC® 4K UHD Display

Building on the success of Acer’s Predator gaming notebooks but ramping up the performance even further, the new Predator 17 X brings overclocking and desktop grade performance to mobile gaming(2). Powered by a 6th Generation Intel Core i7-6820HK processor, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 980 graphics, and a custom triple-fan cooling system, it delivers an uncompromising combination of power and portability(2). With overclocking, gamers will enjoy class-leading turbo speeds of up to 4.0GHz for the CPU; up to 1310MHz for the GPU; and up to 3.7GHz for VRAM . Fully ready to tackle virtual worlds, its top-end GPU makes it an ideal “VR-to-go” platform.

For the ultimate in game play, buttery smooth visuals are delivered on the notebook’s 17.3-inch G-SYNC panel. Available with either a FHD IPS (1920 x 1080) or UHD IPS (4K 3840 x 2160) display, NVIDIA G-SYNC technology matches the refresh rate of the screen with the powerful GPU to eliminate screen tearing and minimize stuttering.

All this muscle is enhanced with DDR4-2133 memory and enterprise level NVMe PCIe solid state drives in a three-SATA-SSD RAID 0 array for immense data transfer speeds(2). Killer DoubleShot Pro enables Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections to work together, so gamers can use Ethernet for gaming while at the same time using WiFi for watching twitch.tv, listening to music or Skyping with friends. A Thunderbolt 3 port adds expandability and delivers the fastest, most versatile connection to any dock, display, or data device. It is up to 8X faster than USB 3.0 and 4X faster than USB 3.1.

The Predator 17 X also includes a new triple-fan cooling system that maximizes heat dissipation and ensures extreme overclocking performance. An Aeroblade fan located near the GPU uses the world’s thinnest metallic blades (0.1mm) to simulate aircraft wing flight behavior to enhance fan speed, reduce drag and nose. Together, the three fans optimize air flow while an efficient front intake system brings cool air into the laptop. A vapor chamber, most typically used in server environments for high-performance and cooling efficiency, also helps to dispatch the heat and enable better overclocking performance. The Predator 17 X also includes DustDefender and CoolBoost, which uses dual high-speed fans with reverse rotation to remove dust build-up and improve heat dissipation.

Acer’s PredatorSense software offers advanced customization options for gaming features like overclock modes, keyboard macro profiles and programmable keys for favorite games and adjustable lighting configurations. In addition, the Predator 17 X’s backlit keyboard includes customizable RGB illumination, so gamers can change and personalize lighting zones colors for specific game or profile setups.

Predator G1 Desktop – Power and Portability Make it Perfect for LAN Parties and Gaming on-the-Go

The Predator G1 (G1-710) gaming desktop squeezes awe-inspiring power into a compact 16-litre body and is designed for gaming at home or on-the-go. This highly transportable gaming beast easily fits under an arm or in an optional carrying case, making it the ultimate war machine for serious gamers and LAN parties.

The perfect balance between compact size and great power, the Predator G1’s 16-liter chassis supports full size NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics (up to Titan X), 6th Generation Intel Core processors and up to 64GB DDR4 memory for supremely smooth gameplay(2). For gamers interested in virtual reality, just plug in a VR headset and get ready to explore new worlds with the Predator G1 leading the way.

The new Predator desktop also includes another must-have gaming feature -- Killer DoubleShot™ Pro, which picks the fastest network connection (Ethernet or Wireless) and sends all high priority traffic over that interface, while standard traffic is sent over the other. This ensures the highest priority traffic is always delivered over the fastest and most reliable link.

With support for G-SYNC and 4K2K Ultra High Definition visuals, the Predator G1 provides stunningly smooth high-quality images, delivering games and movies with unparalleled precision and clarity, while Creative Soundblaster X-Fi MB5 and 7.1 channel audio support provide immersive sound. The Predator G1 also offers massive storage, including up to a 4TB (7200 RPM) hard disk drive(3) or a 512GB solid state drive(3), while a USB 3.1 Type-C Gen. 2 port adds huge expandability and fast data transfer.

Acer’s PredatorSense software can be used to check and control system vitals, set up hotkeys and adjust the multicolored lighting on the customizable “growl lights” along the PC’s front chassis. For extra convenience, dual slide-out headset cradles on each side of the PC let gamers place the G1 against a wall and still have a cradle available for use. Acer also offers a range of optional accessories for the Predator G1 gaming desktop, including a mechanical keyboard, headset and wheeled carrying case.

Pricing and Availability

The Predator 17 X notebooks will be available at leading retailers with prices starting at R 45 999, 00. The Predator G1 desktops will be available at leading retailers R 18 999,00. The new Predator line up was unveiled at the next@acer press event at 4 World Trade Center in New York, where the company announced a range of new devices and solutions for families, students and professionals.

@AcerAfrica ASPIRE S13 #Notebook Fusion of #Performance, #Build and #Value

Hi Guys, 

Acer announced the latest addition to its ultra-slim S series notebooks, the Aspire S 13, a perfectly engineered thin and powerful Windows 10 notebook for design-conscious users. The angular, sleek chassis houses the best-valued laptops on the market today, packed with features for work and play.

“Demonstrating the equilibrium between form and function, the Aspire S 13’s powerful components come together to strike a perfect balance in size, weight and performance,” said James Lin, General Manager, Consumer Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer Inc. “Currently there is no other branded device on the market that can offer such design excellence at this desirable price.”

“The Windows device ecosystem offers something for everyone, with device options to fit customers’ needs,” said Nick Parker, Corporate Vice President, OEM Division, Microsoft Corp. “The ultra-slim Aspire S 13 brings Windows 10 to life with the best security, productivity and manageability only Windows 10 can deliver.”

Aspire to Do More

Running Windows 10 with the option of a 10-point touch display, the Aspire S 13 is powered by 6th Generation Intel® Core™ processors and up to 8 GB of LPDDR3 system memory, not only enabling faster performance and enhanced graphics, but also lower power consumption. The optional 54 Wh 3-cell Li-ion battery lasts up to 13 hours, enabling users to get the most out of their machine every day. 

Wired connectivity comes in the form of a USB 3.1 Type-C reversible port which supports ultra-fast transfer of data (up to 5Gbps) and also a USB 3.0 port which supports power-off charging for mobile devices, even when the Aspire S 13 is switched off. Wirelessly, the laptop enables users to utilize 802.11ac to its maximum effect with 2x2 MU-MIMO (Multi-User MIMO) for up to three times faster[2] performance over single-user MIMO 802.11ac. 

Meanwhile, the Precision Touchpad enables an accurate, smooth and responsive navigation experience, and supports Windows 10 Precision Touchpad gestures.

Aspire to Enjoy More

The Aspire S 13 offers the best of both worlds when it comes to work and entertainment capabilities. The Full HD touchscreen[3] display with wide-viewing angle IPS technology brings immersive experiences for both movies and presentations, while Acer BluelightShield can be enabled to reduce the blue-light emission from the LED backlit module. In low light, the two-stage adjustable backlit keyboard provides more options to suit the circumstances: first stage turns on the backlit keyboard, the second stage turns on the lighting to full luminance.

Acer TrueHarmony and Dolby® Audio™ lets this light-in-weight unit really punch above its category when it comes to audio performance with cinematic surround sound. The newest software user interface also enhances the consumer experience with a custom profile and intelligent audio and visual features.

Skype for Business Certification ensures people can communicate with crisp and lag-free quality, and also allows for clearer, higher quality audio and a great Cortana experience with Windows 10.

Aspire to Astonish

For those who deeply care about the appearance of their personal technology, the Aspire S 13 is ultra-thin and lightweight, measuring 327W x 228D x 14.58H mm (0.57 inches) and weighing 1.30 kg (2.86 pounds). Available in Obsidian Black or Pearl White, the unit is housed in an immaculate chassis featuring a sleek chamfer diamond-cut on the edges and the touchpad, with Acer nano-imprint patterning on the top cover and a blend of premium finishes. The glossy hinge and matte cover offer contrasting visual impressions, while the juxtaposition of soft-touch and hard materials provides distinct tactile experiences and gives the Aspire S 13 a dynamic look that separates it from the crowd.

[2] To achieve the best performance, both the transmitter and receiver must support MU-MIMO. The product is based on an IEEE 802.11ac draft specification and multi user scenario. Actual speed will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network, and other factors. The claim of up to 3x faster transmission speed is valid only under scenario when wireless AP supports 4 MU streams. 

[3] Optional touchscreen display
