At the Acer next@acer Global Press Conference in New York held
recently, Acer announced new notebooks, desktops and monitors under its
powerful and award-winning Predator gaming line. The new Predator 17 X notebook and compact Predator G1 desktop include top-of-the line computing technology and
are NVIDIA GeForce VR-Ready[1],
as well as 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
James Lin, general manager, Consumer Notebooks, IT Products Business, 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 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.”
“Acer continues to bring innovations
to the gaming community through their Predator line,” said Peter Han, vice
president Worldwide OEM Marketing, Microsoft Corp. “With Windows 10 they are
pushing the limits of the modern PC experience, allowing gamers a choice in
where and how they want to play.”
Predator 17 X Notebook
Ramping up the performance of its
successful Predator gaming notebooks, the new Predator 17 X brings overclocking
and desktop grade performance[2] to mobile gaming. 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 portability2. With overclocking, gamers will enjoy 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 and the high
performance CPU makes it an ideal “VR-to-go” platform.
“The Predator 17 X incorporates the
world’s only notebook GPU powerful enough for virtual reality—the GeForce GTX
980,” said Kaustubh Sanghani, general manager of notebook business,
NVIDIA. “Gamers and VR content developers
will embrace the Predator 17 X’s performance, design and mobility, allowing VR
to be experienced anywhere and everywhere.”
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 drives2 in
a three-SATA-SSD RAID 0 array for immense data transfer speeds. Killer
DoubleShot Pro enables Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections to work together, so
gamers can use Ethernet for gaming or use WiFi for watching twitch.tv, listening
to music or Skyping with friends. Thunderbolt™ 3 brings Thunderbolt to USB-C at
speeds up to 40 Gbps, or up to 8X faster than USB 3.0 and 4X faster than USB
3.1.
The Predator 17 X’s triple-fan cooling
system 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 noise. Together, the three fans optimize air flow while an efficient
front intake system brings cool air into the laptop. A vapor chamber, usually used
in server environments for high-performance and cooling efficiency, also helps dissipate
the heat for better overclocking performance. The Predator 17 X also includes
DustDefender and CoolBoost, with reverse rotating, dual high-speed fans 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. The Predator 17 X’s backlit keyboard also includes
customizable RGB illumination so gamers can change and personalize lighting
zone colors for specific game or profile setups.
Predator G1 Desktop – Power and
Portability Perfect for LAN Parties and Gaming on-the-Go
The Predator G1 (G1-710) gaming
desktop squeezes awe-inspiring power into a compact 16-liter 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 body 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 gameplay2. 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 growing popularity of eSports
coupled with the new compute intensive usage models like 4K gaming, game
streaming and Virtual Reality put PCs right at the heart of the gaming
revolution. The 6th gen Intel Core-based Acer Predator gaming
systems provides enthusiasts and mainstream gamers the horsepower for the most
immersive gaming experience,” said Frank Soqui, general manager, Desktop
Enthusiast Group, Intel Corp.
The new Predator desktop also includes
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 to ensure 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, either via a 4TB (7200 RPM) hard disk drive 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 also offers a
range of optional accessories for the Predator G1 gaming desktop, including a
mechanical keyboard, headset and wheeled carrying case.
Predator Z1 Display – Curved
Monitor with G-SYNC Delivers Total Gaming Immersion
Acer’s new Predator Z1 monitor
line introduces mainstream high-performance curved monitors featuring NVIDIA
G-SYNC technology to Acer’s gaming line up.
They are available in 31.5-, 30-and 27-inches, and feature a tight 1800R
curve to make it easier to get fully immersed and surrounded by the action. The
curved display improves immersion by having more depth, provides a wide field
of view and broad viewing angle. G-SYNC matches the monitor’s refresh rate with
the PC’s powerful GPU to eliminate screen tearing and minimize stuttering.
The 30-inch model features an 1800R
ultra-wide FHD (2560 x 1080) display with 21:9 resolution and 100% sRGB color
gamut, delivering incredible detail for identifying enemies and exploring new
worlds. Combined with a fast 4ms GTG (gray-to-gray) response time and up to
200Hz refresh rate, it provides the smoothest possible graphics for
unbelievably realistic visuals; fast-moving action and dramatic transitions
will be all rendered smoothly without the annoying effects of smearing or
ghosting. Lastly, support for 6-axis color adjustment results in beautifully
smooth gradation, keeping the intermediate shades of extremely fine colors
vibrant and lifelike.
The Predator Z1 series’ 178-degree
viewing angles and curved design are perfect for multiple monitor set ups,
giving an uninterrupted view free of blind spots. An ergonomically designed
stand provides tilt and height adjustments for easy finding of the ideal
viewing position, while a useful swivel feature automatically adjusts images
from portrait to landscape. A quick-release design releases the monitor from
the stand for wall-mounting. Cables can also be hidden inside the stand to keep
the gaming area organized and clutter free. Select models include an ambient
lighting feature which offers multiple and customizable colors (red, green,
blue, white, orange) and styles (fixed, pulsing, flashing or rippling).
The Predator Z1 monitor also includes
AcerVisionCare™ and BlueLight Shield™ for less eye
fatigue, and GameView for special settings like dark boost, which fine-tunes
visuals for more details in darker scenes, and aim point assistance for those perfect
shots.
The new Predator line up was unveiled at
the next@acer 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. To learn more about
