Computex 2019 begins next week but Acer is already sharing details about its new laptops that will debut at the tech conference. The manufacturer will showcase new versions of its Acer Nitro 5 and Swift 3 notebooks, featuring the second-generation AMD Ryzen Mobile processors, from May 28 to June 2 at Xinyi Plaza in Taipei. The notebooks also have updated graphics chips to focus on upgraded HDR visuals for improved streaming and gaming.
The Acer Nitro 5 notebook has a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display with an 80 percent screen-to-body ratio. It runs the second-gen AMD Ryzen 7 3750H processor and Radeon RX 560X Graphics chip. Some connectivity highlights include its Gigabit Wi-Fi 5 with 2×2 MU-MIMO support. The Acer Nitro 5 includes HDMI 2.0 and USB Type-C 3.1 ports, as well as a “CoolBoost” technology that helps keep the notebook cool while executing heavy processes, such as gaming.
