TAIPEI, Taiwan - Acer today kicked off Computex Taipei 2017 with much fanfare, firstly being bestowed with a Computex d&i Distinguished Contribution Award in recognition for its longstanding dedication to innovation and product design over the past decade. In addition Acer garnered four 2017 Computex d&i Awards for the Predator Z301CT ultra-wide curved gaming monitor, the ProDesigner PE0 series monitor with 4K resolution, the Aspire U27 all-in-one PC, and the Switch 5 detachable 2-in-1 notebook.
This year’s Acer booth at Computex takes on a fresh approach with its movie-going inspired design. It features a large enclosed space dedicated to showcasing Acer’s Gaming PCs, Windows Mixed Reality and StarVR Head-Mounted Displays (HMD). The booth’s movie-going feel is further evidenced with its ticket counter with show times on a digital display, where visitors can sign up for a StarVR and/or Acer Windows Mixed Reality HMD demo.
In addition to HMDs, the enclosed space is also showcasing Acer’s latest Predator series notebooks and monitors, including the behemoth Predator 21 X curved-screen gaming notebook, the thin and powerful Predator Triton 700 gaming notebook and the Predator X27 gaming monitor with support for NVIDIA G-SYNC HDR at 4K resolution.
Following closely from Acer’s Global Press Conference in New York, this is the first time that Acer is showcasing its comprehensive Virtual Reality, Windows Mixed Reality, and Gaming offerings to international media, buyers, and consumers at the same time.
Just outside the enclosed space, visitors can get a glimpse into the capabilities of the aBeing Cloud services platform. Developed based on the concept of delivering user-centric, service-oriented technologies, these versatile solutions cater to the needs of businesses and consumers alike.
