Acer goes into battle with eye-popping gamer machines

New Helios Predator and Nitro gaming notebooks unveiled this week promise to equip gamers with tools to dominate the battlefield

Nitro 5: Designed for Domination

Acer’s updated Nitro 5 laptop allows users to enjoy their favorite games in exceptional detail with a Full HD IPS display in either a 17.3-inch narrow bezel display, or 15.6-inch with animpressive 80 percent screen-to-body ratio.

The Nitro 5 combines a 9th Gen Intel Core processor1, the latest NVIDIA GPUs, two M.2 Gen 3 x4 PCIe SSDs using NVMe technology in RAID 01, and up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM for superior gaming performance at a value. It effortlessly streams gameplay with Gigabit Wi-Fi 5 with 2×2 MU-MIMO technology. Users can also connect supporting gadgets with an array of ports such as HDMI 2.0, USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 1, and more.

Cool Under Fire

Both the Nitro 7 and Nitro 5 feature dual fans, plus Acer Cool Boost technology and a dual exhaust port designed to keep the Nitro 7 chilled out during extended gaming sessions. Cool Boost increases fan speed by 10 percent and CPU and GPU cooling by 9 percent compared to auto mode.

Hotkey Control with Nitro Sense

Users can monitor and manage the Nitro 7 and 5 with Nitro Sense — an app that’s accessible with one touch of the Nitro Sense hot key. Once enabled, users can instantly visualize component temperature, loading performance, power usage, and more. It also allows for fan speed monitoring and adjusting in real time, so gamers can customize their speed or set fans to max when the heat is on. Additionally, users can set up a power plan to achieve optimal power usage in different scenarios, or access Acer True Harmony’s six sound modes, turn sticky keys on or off, and activate the LCD overdrive to bring the display response time down to 3ms3.

Prioritize Gameplay with Killer Ethernet and Acer Network Optimizer

Both the Nitro 7 and Nitro 5 adopt Killer Ethernet E2500 or Acer’s Network Optimizer to prioritise gameplay. Gamers no longer need to worry about video freezes as overall latency performance is improved by up to 25 percent in single application usages, and more than 10x when multitasking. The Ethernet controller automatically detects game, video and chat streams to deliver prioritized bandwidth for a virtually lag-free user experience. When selecting Auto Mode, Acer’s Network Optimizer is able to categorize high-demand programs to dramatically reduce connectivity issues. Alternatively, users can manually determine priority programs, change the bandwidth allocation for each application, or even block specific applications to tune their connection for optimal performance.

Premium Nitro Sound

The new Nitro 7 and updated Nitro 5 have stepped up their audio quality, providing a truly multidimensional experience to gamers by adopting Waves MaxxAudio advanced sound optimization technologies. MaxxBass  intelligently boosts tones to deliver thundering lows that users can hear and feel, even on small speakers or headsets. MaxxDialog is an intelligent speech booster helping separate game dialog from music and sound effects. Meanwhile, MaxxVolume® delivers maximum volume and clarity without distortion and heightens even the most subtle sonic detail in each game.
