Acer has a new suite of products for creative pros called ConceptD, with new laptops, desktops, monitors and a WMR headset.
Acer brought a serious suite of new tools for ‘prosumers’, with laptops, desktops and monitors geared for professional use, to its annual Next@Acer event in New York City. The new line is called ConceptD and includes even a VR headset designed for digital engineers.
The new family of ConceptD machines are designed with a simple aesthetic to be timeless, and the series of laptops could be a boon for on-the-go creatives. The mobile lineup includes three laptops.
The ConceptD 9 is the series’s premier mobile workstation. The laptop has a 17.3-inch, 4K UHD display built on a hinge that allows it to flip, rotate and extend in a way similar to the Microsoft Surface Studio.
That sharp display also sports Pantone validation for color, with 100% coverage of the Adobe RGB colorspace and a Delta E (a professional method of calculating color accuracy) of less than one. The screen, paired with a magnetically-attached Wacom EMR stylus, allows for 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity as well.
