Aspire V Nitro Black
Edition & Aspire VX
Both notebook series come with up to a 7th Generation
Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor that is designed to bring incredible performance
and responsiveness, immersive 4K entertainment and longer battery life to
mobile devices. The chipset is the perfect match for the notebooks’ equally
impressive GPUs, the latest NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or 1050 Ti graphics1.
Whether a movie buff or a gamer, users will be able to fully enjoy the latest
releases and titles without compromise.
The Aspire V 17 Nitro Black Edition featuring a 17.3-inch display is
available with optional integrated Tobii eye-tracking hardware that when
combined with touchpad gestures, enhances productivity and makes the device
more responsive through the use of eye movements. Users are able to more
quickly and conveniently navigate across apps and programs with a simple
glance. Gaming is also enhanced with eye tracking, creating deeper immersion
and allowing gamers to aim, shoot and explore freely using their eyes in over
45 titles like Elite Dangerous, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and WATCH_DOGS 2™.
The sleek Aspire V Nitro Black Edition models are the ideal device
for those seeking high-quality entertainment on a notebook. Under the aluminum
cover, Acer combined 7th Generation Intel Core processors to drive performance
and the latest NVIDIA technologies, starting with up to a NVIDIA GeForce GTX
1060 graphics card with 6GB of dedicated GDDR5 VRAM1 and up to 16GB
of DDR4 system memory, upgradable to 32GB using two soDIMM modules. They also
come with a NVMe PCIe Gen 3 or SATA SSD1, and a HDD1 of
up to 2TB capacity for additional storage.
The Aspire V Nitro incorporates Acer’s AeroBlade metal fan1
to release thermal exhaust even more efficiently, while Coolboost™ technology
allows users to manually control the cooling process when heavy use requires an
added boost. The Aspire V Nitro notebooks also include DustDefender™, which
uses dual high-speed fans with reverse rotation to remove dust build-up and
improve heat dissipation.
Connectivity comes in the form of a USB Type-C port with
Thunderbolt™ 3 for speeds up to 40Gbps and support for dual 4K video
output simultaneously, two USB 3.0 ports (one featuring power-off USB
charging), two USB 2.0 ports, and HDMI connection. It connects wirelessly
through 2x2 802.11ac MU-MIMO technology, while a Gigabit Ethernet port is
available for wired connectivity needs.
The new Aspire V Nitro notebooks come with a fingerprint sensor
embedded in the top left corner of the Precision Touchpad. This enables Windows
Hello, allowing a more secure password-free sign-in with a touch of the finger.
Users will revel in crystal clear visuals with the inclusion of an
optional 4K (3840x2160) Ultra HD1 display panel. Complementing the
display is the inclusion of Acer Color Intelligence™, a system that dynamically
adjusts gamma and saturation in real-time, optimizing screen color, brightness
and saturation without clipping and over saturation.
The high-quality entertainment experience is also driven by the
audio technologies featured on the Aspire V Nitro, including four speakers
tuned with Dolby® Audio™
Premium and Acer TrueHarmony™ Plus technology. Acer TrueHarmony Plus
delivers more accurate, clear sound reproduction and a wider bass range with an
advanced paper cone speaker design framed by a foam material. Skype for
Business Certification ensures people can communicate with crisp and lag-free
quality, and also allows for clearer, higher quality audio and a great Cortana
with Voice experience on Windows 10.
The Aspire VX 15 features large cooling vents and an edgy red
chassis, clearly showing its determination for gaming. The iron red backlit
keyboard makes sure gamers are always striking the right notes during gameplay,
while also providing a hardcore look and feel without that hardcore price-tag.
The 5.5lbs (2.5kg) Aspire VX 15 also comes with up to a 7th
Generation Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, offering significant improvements in
performance over preceding generation processors, all the while providing lower
battery consumption. The notebook also comes with up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
Ti1 graphics with GDDR5 VRAM (delivering up to 32GB/s bandwidth).
Speed is also a notable attribute of the memory system, offering
up to 16GB1 DDR4 memory out of the box and can be user-upgradeable
to a maximum of 32GB. Storage is provided by a 512GB SSD and 1TB HDD1.
Keeping all this running at optimal temperatures are the dual
fans, installed to ensure however much you push it during a gaming session,
your machine is up to the task and will support you with super-smooth gameplay.
That gameplay experience is further supplemented with high-definition audio
with Dolby Audio Premium, as well as Acer TrueHarmony sound and Skype for
Business certification, and boasts great visual clarity with a 15.6-inch Full
HD IPS screen2.
Aspire GX Series
For those seeking out additional capabilities that only a desktop
model can offer, Acer created the Aspire GX series desktop PC. These VR Ready1
PCs come equipped with up to 7th
Generation
Intel Core processors, up to 64GB of
DDR4 RAM, and up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics. What’s more, they’re
capable of delivering stunning 4K1 resolution visuals and support up
to 41 displays at once for maximized gaming experiences. Also,
there’s no shortage of storage with up to a 3TB1 HDD and a 256GB
SSD, and sports a handy Wireless Charging Deck1 for keeping users’
mobile devices powered up and ready to go. To top it all off, the GX series
features a striking and edgy armor-inspired housing with front-facing LED
lighting that emits a sinister red glow.
