Starting off year 2021, Acer updated several of its gaming notebooks including the new 11th Gen Intel Coret H35-series Special Edition processors for ultraportable gaming and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series Laptop GPUs plus a suite of upgrades such as increased display refresh rates and better cooling technology across the board. 

At just 17.9 mm (0.7 in), the new generation of the Predator Triton 300 SE (PT314-51s) allows users to play the latest games on-the-go. The portable 1.7 kg (3.75 lbs) notebook features up to the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 H35-series Special Edition processor that reaches up to 5 GHz for blisteringly fast performance and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPUs into its clean and Spartan-like all-metal chassis. A dual-fan cooling system includes the latest 5th Gen AeroBlade Fan and Acer’s Vortex Flow technology to keep temperatures in check during heavy gaming sessions. 

Whether playing games or watching films, players will appreciate the Predator Triton 300 SE’s 14- inch FHD display that boasts a 144 Hz refresh rate and is surrounded by three thin bezels. 10 hours of battery life provides players with the flexibility to squeeze in a bit of study between gaming sessions, or to hang out in their favourite stream for a while after a hard day’s work. 

Finally, PredatorSense and a Turbo key give players real-time control over their fan speed, enabling them to choose quieter modes when working or editing content and a full-powered one for gaming. 

The Predator Helios 300 (PH315-53) has been refreshed to include the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU and up to 32 GB of DDR4 memory to give gamers all the performance they need to conquer this generation of games — and the next. 

These heavy-duty internals power the notebook’s 240 Hz IPS display with a 3 ms response, allowing for silky smooth visuals, while DTS:X Ultra audio and 3D simulated surround sound allow for an even more immersive audio experience. The notebook is supported by two fans, including one of Acer’s custom-engineered AeroBlade 3D Fans, while Acer’s CoolBoost technology enables the fans to adjust in order to keep critical areas continuously cooled. 

Acer also announced new Nitro 5 gaming notebooks, plus new Aspire 5 and 7 notebooks, powered by AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Mobile Processors. The powerful new AMD Ryzen Mobile Processors deliver fast and efficient performance for laptops. 

Acer’s popular Nitro 5 gaming notebook line gets a significant upgrade with the addition of up to an AMD Ryzen 9 5900 HX Mobile Processor and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU, a powerful combination ideal for gaming enthusiasts. Rounding out this powerful CPU/GPU combo are two slots for an M.2 PCIe and/or SATA SSD (supporting up to 2TB NVMe SSD / 2TB HDD), up to 32 GB of DDR4 3200 RAM and fast networking via Killer E2600 support and Wi-Fi 6. 

For gamers who want to get the most bang for their buck, the Nitro 5 contains all the key elements necessary for a no-compromises gaming experience. 

The new Nitro 5 notebooks are available with 15.6-inch or 17.3-inch displays, featuring a quad high-definition (QHD) display with a 165 Hz refresh rate or a full high-definition (FHD) display with up to a 360 Hz refresh rate. With a 3 ms response time, visuals are clean with minimal ghosting. Acer also kept colours bright with a 300-nit panel that covers 100% of the sRGB color gamut, and made the screen more attractive by boosting its screen-to-body ratio to 80% with narrow 0.27- inch (7.02 mm) bezels. 

New models in the Aspire 7 line feature the powerful new AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Mobile Processor paired with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 GPU, making them ideally suited for the demanding needs of both professionals and enthusiasts. Its sleek understated design will appeal to those who prefer subtle styling, especially when working on the road or at a client’s office. 

All that power is housed in a chassis weighing just 4.73 lbs (2.15 kg), making it portable enough to work on-the-go without compromising on performance. With up to 32 GB of DDR4 memory and up to a 1 TB PCIe SSD, it’s a powerful productivity machine that’s up for a challenge. 

It also features the latest connectivity, with USB-C for superfast data transfer at up to 5 Gbps. Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) improves average network throughput by up to 3 times and reduces latency by up to 75 percent compared to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). 

Its slim design includes a stunning FHD 15.6-inch display with a narrow bezel, delivering an 81.61% screen-to-body ratio. Acer Color Intelligence and Acer ExaColor work in tandem to deliver highly accurate visuals. Acer Color Intelligence provides a more brilliant and vivid display with less CPU loading. It dynamically adjusts gamma and saturation in real-time to optimise screen colour and brightness without clipping or over-saturation. 

Lastly, its thermal design offers multiple cooling modes, ensuring the notebook runs cool and quietly. With a single touch of the shortcut “Fn+F,” the fan speed can be alternated between silent, normal or performance.
