Acer’s latest Windows 10 lineup: Swift X, gaming notebooks, sustainability-focused Aspire Vero and more

[News Bot]

Acer’s most recent lineup of Windows 10 devices includes the first product within the Earthion platform (focused on the company’s sustainability efforts), the newest member of its Swift line of notebooks, new Predator Triton and Helios Series gaming laptops, refreshed ConceptD models and the latest addition to its TravelMate P6 series, engineered for professionals who frequently work on the road. With the Aspire Vero, Acer embraces sustainability throughout the computer manufacturing process. Post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic is used throughout the device’s chassis and keyboard caps, and it ships in a box made from 80-85% recycled paper pulp. All graphics on the shipping box are printed with soy ink, and the notebook itself contains no paint on the chassis, reducing the impact on the environment.

All new models have dual speakers for crystal-clear videoconferencing, while a four-mic array picks up vocals from up to 6.5 feet away and enables quick and accurate voice commands. Measuring only 0.6 inches (16.8 mm), the TravelMate Spin P6 (TMP614-52) and TravelMate P6 (TMP614RN-52) are thin, portable and very light—starting from just 2.2 pounds (1.0 kg) and 2.4 pounds (1.1 kg), respectively. The chassis is comprised of a magnesium-aluminum alloy, which is stronger and lighter than standard aluminum alloys of the same thickness. With a long battery life, professionals can work throughout the day without having to plug in or recharge—and when the time comes, fast charging can boost the battery up to 80% within an hour. The Acer TravelMate P6 (TMP614-52) will be available in North America in October, starting at $1,299.99; in EMEA in September, starting at 999 euros; and in China in October, starting at RMB 6,999. The Acer TravelMate Spin P6 (TMP614RN-52) will be available in North America in October, starting at $1,399; in EMEA in October, starting at 1,199 euros; and in China in October, starting at RMB 7,499.
