Hi Friends,
Acer is providing visitors with an immersive gaming experience at Computex 2018 in Taipei by showcasing its full line of gaming PCs and gadgets, as well as bringing in celebrity gamers to get in on the action with Acer gaming devices. In addition to the company’s booth at the Computex exhibition hall, Acer has created product experience rooms, locating them in downtown Taipei and opening them to the public so passers-by can experience Acer’s latest gaming PCs and gear, and even compete against celebrity gamers. In line with Acer’s vision of breaking barriers between people and technology, this year’s exhibit at Computex gives consumers and the media new ways to experience the latest gaming technology.
“Acer is dedicated to bringing breakthrough gaming experiences to consumers through the Predator brand, and this year we are making the latest technology more accessible to the general public by bringing them from the showground to the streets,” said Tiffany Huang, President of Corporate Marketing, Business Planning and Operations, Acer Inc. “We hope that through Acer’s efforts, Computex 2018 will become more than just an international event for buyers, but an inclusive celebration of technology for everyone to enjoy.”

Acer will also be showing a selection of high-end gaming products at the Nangang Exhibition Hall.
