Acer Chromebook 13 review
Acer’s Chromebook 13 is a plain old clamshell notebook that doesn’t even boast a touch display. Instead, it focuses on bringing a solid build and superior performance to the Chrome OS platform. It mostly succeeds at both, but that’s not enough to separate it from the growing Chromebook pack.
Acer Chromebook Spin 15 vs. Acer Aspire E 15
Acer has some strong offerings in the budget space, with a choice of Windows 10 or Chrome OS if you're unable to spend more than $600. Two great options include the Chromebook Spin 15 convertible 2-in-1 and the Aspire E 15 laptop. They've both made it on our our "best of" lists, but which is better?
Acer Chromebook Spin 15 review
The Acer Chromebook Spin 15 takes the company’s very good 15-inch Chromebook and lets you spin the display. You won’t want to use it as a tablet, but it’s a good option for inexpensive Netflix binging. And the battery will keep you going for a very long workday indeed.
Acer brings Intel’s 8-core, 9th-gen processor to its Predator Orion desktops
Acer today has revealed that it will be bringing the Intel 8-core 9th-gen processor to its Predator Orion 9000 and 6000 desktops. The new choice in processor puts more power into the hands of gamers and should make for seamless gameplay in the most demanding situations.
Acer Aspire 5 review
Acer’s updated Aspire 5 benefits greatly from Intel’s latest technology, including its 8th-gen processor and Optane memory. The Aspire 5 offers a lot of performance for not a lot of money, but its display and battery life betray its budget nature and detract from its overall value.
Acer Predator Helios 500 review
The Predator Helios 500 is a machine that calls to gamers. With a high refresh rate display, overclockable hardware, and great gaming performance, the Helios 500 holds no punches. If you’re fine lugging around nine pounds of gamer style, this just might be the gaming laptop you’ve been looking for.

The $1,100 Acer Swift is the lightest 15-inch laptop ever made

All that makes for one of the most exciting laptops from IFA 2018.

Acer Aspire E 15 review
Can a $600 laptop be good? In the past we'd say no, but it's a different story today. The Acer Aspire E 15 is intended for people who want value and don’t care about a skinny chassis. So, does it have what bargain hunters are looking for or is it a compromise not worth making?
Acer Spin 5 review
Acer’s Spin 5 is a well-built and well-performing midrange 2-in-1 with solid battery life, a good keyboard, and a relatively svelte chassis. Alexa joins Cortana in providing digital assistance, although her features are limited compared to other Alexa-enabled devices.
Acer Chromebook Spin 11 review
Acer’s Chromebook Spin 11 is a low-cost, convertible 2-in-1 take on Google’s easy-to-manage Chrome OS platform. Battery life is good enough and build quality is decent, but performance is lacking, the display is dim and dull, and input options are competent but don’t stand out.
Alexa makes herself at home on a variety of new Acer laptops

Acer’s new 4K, HDR, 144Hz G-Sync gaming monitor will cost $2,000
Acer's new Predator x27 4K is a super high-end gaming monitor, but you do have to pay a premium for it.

Acer Switch 7 Black Edition vs. Microsoft Surface Book 2 13
Microsoft's Surface Book 2 13 is the fast 2-in-1 in its class, hosting a powerful Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 for competent entry-level gaming and great creativity performance. Acer has attempted to accomplish the same in a detachable tablet, raising the question: Did it manage to unseat the master?
Acer Switch 7 Black Edition vs. Microsoft Surface Pro
The Acer Switch 7 Black Edition is a hefty detachable tablet 2-in-1 with a large display and a trick up its sleeve -- a discrete GPU that promises decent entry-level gaming to go with the usual tablet productivity chips. But is that enough to make it a better tablet than Microsoft's Surface Pro?
Laptop kickstands don’t need to be fancy, they just need to work

Acer Switch 7 Black Edition review
The Switch 7 Black Edition isn’t your parents’ detachable 2-in-1. Acer squeezed a discrete GPU and innovative liquid cooling into the Switch 7 Black Edition for some light gaming in a tablet format. Did the company manage to maintain the format’s usual productivity as well?
Acer Nitro 5 Spin vs. Dell XPS 15 2-in-1
Acer's Nitro 5 Spin tries its hardest to be both a good convertible 2-in-1 and a legit gaming notebook. But it's not the first laptop that makes that ambitious attempt. Can Dell's XPS 15 2-in-1 beat it at either game?
Acer Nitro 5 Spin vs. Lenovo Yoga 720 15
Acer's Nitro 5 Spin tries its hardest to be both a gaming notebook and a convertible 2-in-1, and it fails to be a great example of either. Does the Lenovo Yoga 720 15 do a better job of straddling that fence?
Acer Nitro 5 Spin review
The Acer Nitro 5 Spin mashes together a distinct gaming aesthetic and entry-level gaming components with a convertible 2-in-1 design with pen support. Does it manage to meet the needs of both gamers and productivity workers, or does it call flat in meeting the needs of either?
