Acer launches Liquid Jade 2 and Liquid Zest smartphones at MWC 2016

329

Taiwanese manufacturer Acer had a busy day at MWC 2016 as the company has launched its new Liquid Jade 2 flagship smartphone and the Liquid Zest smartphone.

Acer’s Liquid Jade 2 features a 5.5″ full-HD AMOLED display with a viewing angle of 176 degrees. The phone is shielded by Corning Gorilla Glass and comes with Zero Air Gap technology that the company claims will help improve readability under sunlight.

For the camera, the Liquid Jade 2 will have a 21MP rear camera with f/2.2 aperture, dual LED flash and 4K video recording support, while an 8MP camera is located at the front of the phone.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the Liquid Jade 2 has to be the storage. By itself, the smartphone will come with 32GB of storage. That said, the Liquid Jade 2 will integrate local storage with cloud stage, effectively giving it 1TB of hybrid storage. The pricing for this phone will be revealed at a later date.

The other phone from Acer is the Liquid Zest and its 4G variant, the Liquid Zest 4G. For the 3G variant of the Liquid Zest, it will feature a 5″ HD IPS display and will be powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor. It will run Android 6.0 Marshmallow right out of the box and will also come with DTS Sound Studio. For the camera, the Liquid Zest packs an 8MP rear autofocus camera with LED flash and a 5MP front camera. The Liquid Zest 4G is mostly the same as the 3G version, but it will sport a 1GHz quad-core processor and will feature DTS HD Premium Sound technology. The Liquid Zest and the Liquid Zest 4G will have a retail price of EUR 109 (RM 504) and EUR 149 (RM 690) respectively.

Acer has expanded its environmental friendly Vero family with the Chromebook Vero 514, it is a 14-inch Chromebook that has 30% of its chassis made out of post-consumer recycled plastic, 50 percent for the keycaps and speakers, and an ocean-bound plastic trackpad, which continues to showcase the company’s sustainability efforts.

Like the Aspire Vero we reviewed earlier, the Chromebook Vero 514 is a very capable device as it is powered by 12th-gen Intel Core processors, it has a very respectable 1080p display that covers sRGB color space with 300 nits of peak brightness, while it is rated to have an estimated 10 hours of battery life, there’s also two USB-C ports, one USB-A Port and HDMI, and a ‘flare-reducing’ 1080p webcam, which is a very impressive hardware package.

The Chromebook Vero 514 is also made to be self-upgradable with standard philips screws, which users can easily upgrade the laptop’s storage when needed, there is no mention if it is possible to upgrade the Chromebook’s RAM, however the base model already comes with 8GB RAM which is more than sufficient for running multiple browser tabs on ChromeOS, as it is less demanding than a Windows system.

Starting at $499 in the US, Acer will ship the Chromebook Vero 514 this October and we should expect to see it here at a later time.

3.5K

Acer Malaysia has recently refreshed its laptops with 13th Gen Intel processors, and one of the more interesting ones is the 2023 Acer Swift 14, which essentially succeeds last year’s Acer Swift 5 laptop and continues to be a serious contender to ASUS’ mainstream Zenbooks.

The 2023 Swift 14 retains its predecessor’s hallmarks and design language, such as its 1.2kg weight and 14.95mm aerospace-grade aluminum unibody chassis, a 14-inch 2.5K IPS touch display with Antimicrobial Corning Gorilla Glass, while all variants sold are now using 13th Gen Intel H series processors, which offers a bump in performance and power efficiency over its predecessor.

Acer Malaysia launches the Swift 7, Swift 3, Spin 5 and Predator Z1

353

Its a big day for Acer Malaysia today, as the company has geared up as usual to unveil a slew of new products, which comprises of the company’s slim Swift 7 and Swift 3 notebooks, the value for money 2-in-1 convertible Spin 5 notebook and the Predator Z1 gaming monitor with Tobii Eye Tracking, that’s seriously a lot of exciting things to look forward as the year draws to an end, and you can probably start spending your Christmas money on these great and beautiful devices.

The highlighted product for today’s launch would be the Swift 7 notebook, this incredibly thin laptop measures 9.98mm thin and weighs merely 1.1kg, which makes it one of the slimmest 13.3-inch devices out there. In terms of specs, the Swift 7 is powered by a 7th Generation Core i5 processor paired with 8GB of DDR4 RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. In addition, the notebook comes with a beautiful Full HD IPS display that is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 5, I/O ports are rather limited as it merely comes with two USB 3.1 Type-C ports on the right, which both will charge the device and connect external peripherals, the Swift 7’s battery life is rated up to 9 hours on a 4-cell battery.

The Swift 3 is a slightly thicker sibiling with older specs, but it is still a rather attractive device nonetheless, a 6th Gen Intel Core i5 processor powers the Swift 3 and it comes with 4GB DDR4 RAM and 256GB SSD storage, it features a fingerprint scanner integrated with Windows Hello for securing access to your computer. Unlike the Swift 7, the Swift 3 comes with two full size USB 3.0 ports located on each side while having one USB-C port located on the left.

Featuring a typical 2-in-1 convertible design, the Spin 5 is one of the most fully featured yet affordable convertible notebook in its class, while there isn’t much premium materials on the outside to attract the average user, though it is powered by a 6th Gen Intel Core i3 processor, it sports a 13.3-inch Full HD IPS touch display, 4GB of DDR4 RAM and 128GB of SSD storage, the Spin 5’s battery life is rated to last up to 10 hours on its 4-cell battery, and probably the most attractive part would be its 1.6kg weight, which is lighter than a lot of convertible notebooks.

Acer also has a new toy for the gamers, the Predator Z1 gaming monitor is literally the first commercially sold monitor that comes with Tobii Eye Tracking technology, it has a curved 27-inch panel that produces a 144Hz refresh rate and Full HD resolution while supporting NVIDIA G-SYNC, the panel is also flicker free and comes with BlueLightShield, ComfyView and Low-dimming technology offered by AcerVisioncare, which greatly reduces fatigue when viewed for long durations. Apart from that, the monitor can be separated from its ergonomically design stand to be VESA wall mounted.

Last but not the least, Acer has also taken the opportunity to announced its refined SuperCare warranty extension program, which now comes in three different packages that upgrades the existing warranty up to three years on-site and international traveler’s warranty, what’s really interesting this round would be the inclusion of Accidental Damage and Theft protection on the flagship SuperCare 3 warranty pack, it aims to give users a peace of mind should anything unfortunate happen to their devices.

Acer Malaysia has begin selling some of its products announced above, while existing Acer customers can purchase the new SuperCare warranty packages, pricing of the above devices are listed below:

The Predator Triton 500 SE (PT516-52s) is a “special edition” laptop for gaming and work. On the inside, a 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i9 processor, an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 Ti Laptop GPU and 32 GB of 5200 MHz LPDDR5 memory dish out the extreme performance necessary for the latest games. On the outside, its all-metal spartan-styled aesthetics let it blend perfectly into the workplace or lecture hall. Measuring 19.9 mm at its thinnest point, the laptop can easily follow its user anywhere, while up to 2TB of high-speed PCIe Gen4 storage offers plenty of space for games and files.

This powerful hardware is partnered with state-of-the-art cooling technology. The laptop utilizes a triple-fan system, including two 5th Gen AeroBlade™ 3D fans with 89 metal blades each. Acer’s Vortex Flow technology redirects the airflow generated by the fans to critical components. Strategically-placed thermal foam, liquid-metal thermal grease on the CPU, and four heat pipes further help with cooling. This means that users will not only enjoy a power boost, they also get to make the most of the long battery life granted by the laptop’s large 99.98 Wh battery.

Content looks great on the Triton 500 SE’s 16-inch display. Gamers will appreciate the industry-leading WQXGA (2560×1600) panel’s 240Hz refresh rate and 3 ms response time, topped off with support from the frame-syncing power of NVIDIA® G-SYNC® technology. Content creators will appreciate 500 nits of brightness, 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and a productivity-boosting 16:10 aspect ratio—plus an SD 7.0 card reader for offloading content.

The laptop runs Windows 11 out of the box and also features a full range of USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, including two Thunderbolt™ 4 Type-C ports with support for DisplayPort and power delivery, while an HDMI 2.1 port makes 4K@120 Hz possible by allowing users to plug into an external display. Topping everything off is an Intel® Killer™ E3100G 2.5G Ethernet Controller, Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6E 1675, and Control Center 2.0 to empower users with blazing-fast connectivity.

This hardware muscle powers a 15.6-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) IPS display with a 165 Hz refresh rate. With a revamped, cleaner chassis, the outside of the laptop looks great, too. A thin light bar below the palm rest (configurable via PredatorSense) lets the device retain its gamer aesthetic in a slightly more subtle fashion.

A dual-fan layout that includes one 5th Gen AeroBlade 3D fan helps the keep the system running cool, further supported by liquid metal thermal grease and Acer’s CoolBoost™ technology. A single press of the built-in PredatorSense button offers users control over the fan speed via four preset operating modes, while a single press of the built-in Turbo key instantly maxes out these settings for improved gaming performance.

CES 2022: Acer reveals powerful new Predator desktops and PCs

873

Gamers who looking for supreme performance and the ability to upgrade down the road will be overjoyed to hear about the unveiling of Acer’s refreshed Predator Orion 5000 series gaming desktops and the new mid-range Predator Orion 3000 series gaming desktops. Acer also announced a new OLED Predator monitor and an additional pair of IPS monitors that combine VESA DisplayHDR™ 1000-level visuals with high refresh rates.

They also shared the news that the Predator X32 had earned a CES Innovation Award in the “Computer Peripherals & Accessories” category.

Predator Orion 5000 – Full-Sized Gaming Desktop

Predator Orion 5000

The
Predator Orion 5000
 combines the latest 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor (on an Intel H670 chipset) with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 GPU in order to deliver high frame rates and incredible gaming experiences, even in the most graphically demanding games.

Running on Windows 11 with 64 GB of 4,000 MHz DDR5 RAM and up to 2 TB of M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSDs, the system is kept cool by ARGB-infused Predator FrostBlade™ 2.0 fans. This generation of fans utilizes a static pressure design to optimize airflow, while sealed rifle bearings and a new arc-shaped design along the ends of the fans’ fins reduce vibration and noise.

Latency-reducing features include Killer E3100G 2.5G Ethernet Controller and Intel Wi-Fi 6E[4] for more reliable internet, while DTS:X® Ultra allows gamers to turn any pair of headphones or speakers into a high-end 360-degree sound system. Four USB ports (3x Type-A and 1x Type-C) and audio jacks conveniently positioned on top of the chassis allow for ease of access, while several more on the back of the tower keep infrequently-moved cables out of sight.

Predator Orion 3000 – Mid-tower Gaming PC

Predator Orion 3000

The
Predator Orion 3000
 series was designed for gamers who want to play at max settings and enjoy streaming or video editing with little to no impact on performance on a mid-tower rig. Equipped with a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor (on an Intel B660 chipset), a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, up to 64 GB of 3,200 MHz DDR4 memory and 2 TB of PCIe NVMe SSD storage to increase responsiveness and load times, this Series is built for lightning-fast gaming action. It even comes with 6 TB of SATA3 HDD storage, just in case the original 2TB isn’t enough.

Like the Orion 5000, the 3000 series is wreathed in darkened glass, plastic, metal, and mesh, with an optional transparent EMI-compliant side panel. Three 92×92 mm Predator FrostBlade™ 2.0 fans optimize airflow and cool the internals. Additionally, the hub of the front and rear fans have RGB LEDs built directly onto them, which can be controlled via the PredatorSense™ software.An Intel Killer E2600 Ethernet controller, Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 (Gig+) and Control Center 2.0 provide players with all the tools necessary to clear out online competition, while DTS:X Ultra lets them experience their favorite movies, music and games with real-world spatial sound.

The Predator Orion 3000 comes with Windows 11 out of the box.

Predator X32 and X32 FP Gaming Monitors

The award-winning Predator X32

The Predator X32 and X32 FP gaming monitors are engineered with gamers and creators in mind, balancing performance and visual brilliance expected by the respective groups. With 160 Hz and 165 Hz (overclocked) refresh rates, the UHD (3,840×2,160) 32-inch monitors also boast VESA DisplayHDR™ 1000 certifications, IPS panels that support 576-zone miniLED local dimming, Delta E<2 color accuracy and 99% coverage of the AdobeRGB color gamut.

As a result, they deliver stunningly clear and fluid visuals that are essential for tracking objects as they zip across the screen.

Players of competitive multiplayer games will appreciate NVIDIA Reflex, a suite of GPU, G-SYNC, and software technologies that measure and reduce system latency (a.k.a click-to-display latency) in online games — ultimately helping players to acquire targets faster, react quicker, and increase aim precision.

The Predator X32 FP comes with an HDMI 2.1 port, meaning that players can enjoy 4K gaming not only on PC but also on console. With a 165 Hz (overclock) refresh rate and a 1 ms response time, it’s the fastest 4K monitor currently available. AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro technology[3] further enhances the gameplay experience, supporting HDR capabilities and delivering buttery smooth visuals and low latency even during graphically-intensive scenes. A USB Type-C port is also available, offering 90W of power delivery.

Predator CG48 Gaming Monitor

Predator CG48

At 48 inches and a glorious 4K display, the Predator CG48 gaming monitor is big enough to be a TV replacement, even at refresh rates of 138 Hz. HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 mean that players can enjoy a next-level gaming experience even on consoles, while four USB 3.2 ports and a USB Type-C port offer more than enough room to host any extra peripherals desired.

From there, AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro technology and up to a 0.1 ms response time (G-to-G) allow for some of the fastest 4K gaming possible. Each AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro technology display is designed to ensure a smooth, variable refresh rate (VRR) gaming experience that minimizes tearing, stuttering, artifacts and flicker.

The Predator CG48’s OLED display leverages a 135K:1 contrast ratio, HDR10 and 98% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut in order to offer one of the most stunning visual experiences currently possible. OLED monitors are capable of turning off individual pixels, allowing for true blacks to be replicated. They also do not require backlighting, increasing the overall efficiency of the monitors.

Acer Nitro 5 Review: The Gaming Laptop That Matches Desktop Pricing

435

People occasionally ask me for advice when they want to get a new computer, some even come up to me and ask if this gaming laptop is good or that gaming laptop is good and my usual reply is, “will you be always outside playing games or just at home?” We all know that for the price you are paying for a gaming laptop, that amount of money could get you a gaming desktop PC which in fact, will run the game much better than an expensive gaming laptop. However, Acer has blurred the line between gaming laptop specs and price with the Acer Nitro 5 because, for the price tag of RM3,299, you will be getting similar specs as what you would spend when paying that same amount to get a gaming desktop computer. However, being reasonably priced gaming laptop is one thing, let’s dive in and see what will you get with this laptop.

Design

I do believe this laptop is far by one of the best looking gaming laptops I had the change to review. On first look, you can see the nice and simple brushed finish aluminum top which they kept simple and pleasing to look at. This is something I am really happy Acer did as most of the gaming laptops out there look really over the top making it look like a futuristic SciFi device, but the minimal design approach Acer took makes it look sleek and you might not even think it’s a gaming laptop, big thumbs up from me in the design department.

Opening the laptop, you will be greeted with an equally simple design on the inside. The red accented keyboard feels like it gives you the motivation to be game ready as soon as the red backlit comes on, gearing up to lay some smack down on your opponents. In addition to that, the keycaps are big and spaced apart nicely, ensuring that you never miss a keypress at the most crucial moment and the travel distance of the keys make for an enjoyable typing experience. I also liked that they highlighted the WASD keys which are probably the most used keys when it comes to gaming, a nice addition to the overall look of the keyboard. Above that, is the 15.6-inch IPS FHD screens which have very nice and vibrant colours making it lovely to play games and watching videos on, viewing angles are also decent thanks to the IPS display.

The touchpad is something that I feel could be worked on a bit more as the tracking is not really great, especially when flicking around, the pointer seems to be skipping about making it occasionally hard to click on what you want. I never really found touchpad on gaming laptops to be an issue because for me, even if I am doing work or just playing games, I am going to plug in a mouse, but if you are a person that prefers to use the touchpad, then this might be a slight issue for you.

When it comes to the I/O, Acer made sure that you will not be disappointed there because they have ample amount of ports to cater to gamers, on the right side, there are two USB ports which are perfect for plugging in a keyboard and mouse as well as a headphone jack and charging port with LED indicators for power and charging.

On the left side is where all the goodies are, there is an Ethernet port which is a much better option when playing online games to reduce latency, USB Type-C port which is always a nice addition and good to know that Acer is keeping up with the times. There is also a USB 3.0 port for all your highspeed transfers, HDMI, and a SDcard slot. Overall, I really like all the ports that Acer has provided and I think they did a great job implementing the I/O.

Performance

Now in this section, I have to say I am quite disappointed with the option that Acer has given us. My review unit is the i5-7300HQ, GTX 1050 and 4GB of RAM. I am fine with the processor and graphics card but having an option for 4GB of RAM is somewhat questionable as that is definitely not going to be enough of RAM to run many games and that shows a lot when I tested it out on games. I managed to get the laptop before the launch of the Destiny 2 PC beta and was quite excited cause I wanted to go to my favorite cafe to have a nice cup of coffee while playing the game. Sadly I was disappointed because, no matter what graphics settings I put, the laptop struggles to run the game with frame skips and lag all around.

Games like Witcher 3 could not run at all simply because there is just not enough RAM to run the game when launching the game it took me 3 tries to actually get into the game and Mad Max has massive frame skipping. However, with 8GB of RAM all these issues will be gone, Mad Max will run at a stable 70 frames-per-second and Witcher 3 can be played at 40 frames in towns and 50 to 60 frames when in the open world and Destiny 2 will run fine with 50 to 60 frames but, seeing as it’s a GTX 1050, you will have to run most of these games in medium graphics for you to get that nice 60 frames. If you are planning to go for long hours of gaming be sure to have a power socket nearby because it roughly gave me one and a half hours of battery life which I can’t complain, seeing as it is packing some pretty demanding components but yet still manages to last longer than some of the other gaming laptops and match some at a higher price point.

Thermals

In the Thermals department, I have to give a big praise to Acer because the laptop manages heat very well with idle temperatures is at 31 degrees Celsius and 64 Celsius when on load.

Because the vents are on the right side of the laptop, heat will only build up on the right side of the keyboard keeping the left side comfortable when gaming. This is also thanks to the bottom fans which brings the air into the laptop which is a big surface area taking in more than enough air to keep the laptop at stable and manageable heats.

So, remember when Acer released a laptop that was RM39,999 and we all slapped our knees and laugh saying who would ever buy such a laptop? Well, it’s time to swallow your words because the only unit of the Acer Predator 21 X in Malaysia now belongs to Arsyan Ismail, 34, who quoted as he bought the laptop, “Life is short, enjoy what you can, buy while you still can..”

In case you would like to know what an RM39,999 laptop will give you, it comes with a 7th Gen Core i7 processor, two Nvidia GeForce GTX1080 graphics card in SLI configuration and 64GB of DDR4-2400 memory. Other than that, you will also be getting an ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio curved screen which features Nvidia G-Sync to remove tearing and give you the best experience when playing games or watching movies. Even the keyboard is a fully mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches.

We at KLGG would also like to send our congrats to Arsyan for buying this monster of a laptop and Acer for selling off this laptop.

Acer Predator G1: Pint-sized powerhouse

390

Mention the word ‘desktop’ to other people and chances are good that the first image that comes to mind is a big rectangular block of metal. Traditionally speaking, desktops aren’t exactly synonymous with the term ‘portable’, and considering how much portability is a key requirement these days, it isn’t too surprising that the gaming laptop market is as big a deal as it is today.

But what if you could shrink your regular desktop into a much more portable size? That is the concept behind the Predator G1, a small form factor gaming desktop that doesn’t take up too much space and is rather portable by itself. Of course, being portable is just one out of two criteria that the Predator G1 must fulfill if we are to take its gaming credentials seriously. So how does this thing fare? Let’s find out.

Design

Let’s get straight to the point: the Predator G1 is small. By itself, the desktop is many times thinner and shorter than your average desktop machine. Is it the thinnest desktop of its class? Unfortunately, no. While there is no denying that the Predator G1 is small, some other machines out there, like say ASUS’s GR8 machines, are smaller than it. Nevertheless, the G1 is small enough that you can lug it around inside a wheeled suitcase, of which the G1 has its own custom made suitcase. While the Predator G1 is a small machine, you should probably know that the machine is by no means light. The Predator G1 is a relatively heavy machine for something of its size, and you would be mistaken if you believed that you can lift the thing up without any effort on your part.

Aside from the size and weight of the G1 though, everything else about it just screams gaming desktop. To the aggressive tank-thread style design that it sports, to the RGB lights embedded at various parts of the machine, the G1 manages to tick all of the boxes in the “gaming machine design” checklist. At the top of the G1, you’ll find twin hinges that can be spread open to hook your headphones onto the desktop when not in use, and the disk tray lies hidden in the center of the machine. Just below said tray, you’ll find an SD Card slot, a USB port, and audio and microphone jacks.

Performance

Much like many other desktops build by OEMs, the Predator G1 comes in a few configurations. The model that I’ve gotten for review comes with an Intel Core i7-6700 processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, a 128GB SSD, a 2TB HDD, and a Nvidia GeForce GTx 1080 graphics card.

In short, the Predator G1 is well equipped to handle most of your modern gaming needs, although we’ll get to that a bit later.

Benchmarks

Usability

Thanks to the powerful components that Acer has outfitted the Predator G1 with, gaming with this machine will be smooth sailing for the most part. The machine handles 1080p gaming with little effort, it does 1440p gaming well too. If you have an Oculus Rift and/or a HTC Vive lying around, you’ll be pleased to know that the G1 can handle VR as well. 4K gaming is also a possibility with this machine, but do expect lower framerates if you’re going to do so.

While the Predator G1 is very good at doing what it needs to do, there is a certain quirk in its design that is pound to confuse some people. I speak, of course, of the power supply that the G1 is accompanied by. Because stuffing a huge, blocky PSU would probably ruin the whole compact image that the G1 is trying to nurture, Acer opted to power the desktop with two laptop-style power bricks that are housed in a single box. The keyword here is two, as you’ll need to free up two power sockets in order to power the G1 up. If you don’t have any power sockets to spare, you’ll want to get yourself a power strip for it.

Upgradability

If there is one part that the Predator G1 lacks in, it is in its upgradability. Once you pry open the cover that conceals the components of the G1, you’ll soon realise that there is very little you can do to upgrade the machine as it is. Sure, you can slot in more RAM to the machine, and you may even be able to slot in an additional hard disk or SSD into it. Other than that though, there is very little you can do with the G1 as it is. Additionally, because of the G1’s small size, tinkering with it is going to be considerably harder than a standard desktop.
