Acer refreshes ConceptD creator notebooks with new processors, GPUs

EXCITING updates on Acer’s ConceptD creator notebook lines were announced at the Next@Acer 2021 Global Press Conference. All have been updated to include the new 11th Gen Intel® Core™ H-series processors and a range of GPU (graphics processing unit) options, including the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 30 Series Laptop GPUs and the latest NVIDIA® RTX™ Professional Laptop GPUs powered by the NVIDIA Ampere architecture. They’re backed by the NVIDIA Studio ecosystem, as well as exclusive driver technology that enhances creative apps for optimal levels of performance and reliability.

The new ConceptD 5 notebooks also include a 16:10 16-inch display, providing enough space for content creators to view their videos and edit tracks without having to resize taskbars or hide preview windows.

ConceptD 5 and ConceptD 5 Pro Notebooks

Designed for 2D and 3D design workflows, Acer’s all-metal ConceptD 5 notebooks (CN516-72G) pair the new 11th Gen Intel® Core™ H-series processors with up to an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3060 Laptop GPU. A ConceptD 5 Pro (CN516-72P) is also available, featuring either the NVIDIA® RTX™ A5000 or NVIDIA® RTX™ A3000 Laptop GPU, for creators looking for best-in-class performance and capabilities. The RTX A5000 Laptop GPU empowers creators with the ability to bring ray tracing and AI to the largest rendering, 8K editing and multi-app workflows.

With up to 64 GB of DDR4 3200 Hz memory and 2 TB of PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSDs in Raid 0, they provide all the power and storage creators need for handling 4K video, multiple monitors or 2D and 3D software rendering applications. Acer’s Vortex Flow, a triple-fan cooling layout (including a 5th Gen AeroBlade 3D Fan), is strategically organized to provide additional cooling to the CPU and GPU, allowing a bit more performance to be eked out under particularly demanding workloads.

Complementing all this power is a beautiful 16-inch 3K (3072×1920) Pantone®-validated display that supports 100 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut, plus a color accuracy rating of Delta E
