Next@Acer Global Launch
There were many devices launched at the event, but let’s first take a look at the new laptops.
Acer Swift 5
First up, we have the Acer Swift 5 that has been facelifted to be more streamlined, thinner, and lighter as well. The new Acer Swift 5 is now built with Anti-microbial material which helps deter germs and microbes from the laptop, including the touchscreen.

It features AMD’s Ryzen 4000 series mobile processors, and can pack up to an Nvidia GeForce GTX1650 Ti graphics card.
Predator Helios 300
The Predator Helios 300 has now been facelifted to have a more subtle yet aggressive look.
