Computex 2017: Acer Nitro 5 is one for the gamers

Computex 2017 hasn’t started yet, but Acer has already revealed a few wares, most notably in the form of the Nitro 5 gaming laptops.

So what are you getting then, in terms of specs?

“You can choose from models featuring up to Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics with 7th Generation Intel Core processors or AMD Radeon RX550 graphics with 7th Generation AMD A-series processors,” Microsoft notes on its blog. In other words, if you’re waiting for AMD’s Zen chips in a laptop, this isn’t for you.

Nevertheless, these laptops all support up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM.

Other notable features include SSDs (up to 512GB) on selected models, a 15.6-inch full HD screen, Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 2.0 ports, a USB 3.0 port, a USB Type-C port and an HDMI 2.0 port.

Acer says that the Nitro 5 range will come to the EMEA region in August, with prices starting at €1099. We’ve contacted Acer’s local representatives for SA launch/pricing details and will update the article accordingly when we receive a response.
