TAIPEI, Taiwan - Acer today announced the new Acer Nitro 5 Spin, a convertible notebook designed to provide maximum versatility for casual gaming.
Its all-aluminum chassis sports a black brushed hairline finish and red accents, and houses essential gaming technologies casual gamers value most, including powerful processors and graphics, premium audio, stable connectivity, and a brilliant display.
Equipped with up to an 8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics and blazing-fast GDDR5 VRAM, the Nitro 5 Spin delivers the performance needed for casual gaming anywhere, anytime. A PCIe SSD of up to 512GB capacity ensures the system boots up fast and stays responsive. Paired with a 15.6-inch IPS display, backlit keyboard and great audio system consisting of two speakers and one subwoofer, it’s an ideal platform for mobile computing and entertainment on the go.
To keep the gaming going strong, Acer’s omni-directional ExoAmp Antenna optimizes the Nitro 5 Spin’s antenna position to ensure a stable wireless signal, regardless of the antenna being located beneath the notebook’s metal cover and the direction the device is facing.
It also includes MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multi-Input Multi-Output) wireless technology for up to three times faster downloads, smoother streaming and a better browsing experience than other 11ac products in a multi-user environment. MU-MIMO networks serve multiple devices simultaneously, instead of just one at a time.
“With a convertible design that features four modes, the Acer Nitro 5 Spin is a versatile gaming device that opens up exciting new usage scenarios for casual gamers on the go,” said James Lin, General Manger, Commercial & Detachable Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer Inc. “Power users will also appreciate the great performance and battery life of the Nitro 5 Spin, while enjoying the superb visuals and immersive audio that it delivers.”
The Acer Nitro 5 Spin will be available in North America in October starting at $999; in EMEA in October with prices starting at €1,199.
Exact specifications, prices, and availability will vary by region.
