Predator Triton 700 Gaming Notebook
The Predator Triton 700 is an iF Design Award 2018-winning notebook’s svelte 18.9 mm (0.74 inch) thin, 2.45 kg (5.4 pound) aluminium 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 Acer 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-aluminium 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 aluminium unibody is pleasing to the eye and gentle to touch, perfect for modern professionals seeking a sophisticated-looking device.

It will support 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 feature a space-saving, customisable mini PC design that allows the addition of 1 litre module add-ons for M.2 SSDs, ODDs, HDDs, I/O ports, card readers and graphics cards for easy tool-less expansion and upgradability.
