I have covered a lot of this years Acer gaming laptops, including the ridiculous Predator Triton 900 and the fantastic Acer Nitro 7. Priced at £1,099.00 is the Acer Predator Helios 300 better than Acer Nitro 7 which is the same price. Specification CPU: 9th gen Intel® Core™ i5-9300H quad-core Memory: 8GB of DDR4 RAM GPU: GeForce GTX…
If the Acer Predator Triton 500 seems underpowered and generic to you, and money is no object, the Acer Predator Triton 900 could be an appealing prospect with its flagship specs and quirky design. The Triton 900 is among the growing number of enthusiast gaming products that throws caution and affordability to the wind. Manufacturers…
Following on from the superb Acer Nitro 7, I have been sent the Acer Predator Triton 500, which is the next step up in terms of pricing and performance. I was actually expecting the new i7-9750H model which currently retails for £1,699.00 however I was sent the slightly older model which Scan still sell for…
I have reviewed a lot of excellent laptops from Acer, but none have really tickled my fancy when it comes to laying out my own money. The premium ultraportables always look appealing but I would inevitably break one on a press trip. Similarly, I praised the Acer Nitro 5 last year for being the most…
Back when I first started building PCs, it was always a case of buying the largest but most affordable monitor going.

This is a massive 43-inch screen running at 4K with 144Hz variable refresh rate and DisplayHDR 1000. The variable refresh rate…
Acer will hold their annual next@acer event in New York on the 11th of April where it has been leaked they will be the first company to launch GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1650 based Nitro notebooks.

If you have the cash to drop over £1k on a GPU and the same again for the CPU, there is a good chance you want the best monitor on the market regardless of the cost. At the moment that gives you two choices, the ASUS 27″ ROG Swift 4K HDR which will set you…

Sadly we did not get the announcement for the desktop AMD 3000-series Ryzen chips at CES. However, AMD is launching the first parts of the Ryzen 3000-series of processors, focused around the Ryzen Mobile 2nd Gen family for both the general 15W market as well as the high-performance 35W market. The new range of processors are based…
The Predator Aethon 500 is the second peripheral I have reviewed from Acer of the past week and is the first mechanical keyboard Acer has produced. The Acer Predator Aethon 500 ticks most of the box’s gamers want out of a keyboard nowadays, there is fully programmable RGB, programmable macro keys, mechanical switches, media keys…
Over the past few years, I have mainly reviewed laptops and desktops from Acer. Their peripheral side of the business is relatively new as far as I am aware. The Acer Predator Cestus 500 is an 8-button programmable RGB gaming mouse priced at around £80 on Currys and Argos. It features a semi-modular design allowing…
