An unexpected union
The Next@Acer 2020 conference showed that the Taiwanese manufacturer is ready to keep up with the times, releasing diverse electronics designed for a variety of categories of customers. If earlier the brand was associated with us primarily with inexpensive laptops, now its profile is more blurred. This thesis was confirmed by the collaboration with the famous Porsche design bureau, which designed a premium laptop called Acer Book RS for Acer.
All-metal body with carbon-look finish
The laptop is enclosed in an all-metal body, and the main design element is the top cover with an interesting carbon fibre texture, which refers us to the design of sports cars. The case and display are joined together by a stylish and durable metal hinge that, when the lid is lifted, raises the bottom of the case for more efficient cooling. The case of a 14-inch laptop weighs only 1.2 kilograms with a thickness of 16 mm.
Powered by 11th generation Intel processors
The Acer Porsche Design Book RS is powered by an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 processor with integrated Iris Xe graphics or a GeForce MX350 discrete graphics accelerator and 16GB of RAM. The laptop belongs to the class of devices corresponding to the Intel Evo certification. The filling is quite decent, but it is not clear why a discrete GeForce MX350 graphics card is needed here, if the integrated Iris Xe card will have approximately the same performance. The 14-inch IPS display with Full HD resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass with an antimicrobial coating also looks good. It provides a good margin of brightness (340 nits) and a rich colour palette (coverage of 100% sRGB).
Accessories from Acer and Porsche
We also know about a fingerprint scanner, Wi-Fi 6, USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 and a capacious fast-charging battery, which Acer claims can last about 17 hours with a moderate load. Considering the level of collaboration, the price tag is unlikely to be a decisive factor here, but it is impossible not to say about it. The laptop will arrive in Europe with a price tag of 1799 Euros in the basic configuration. Or 2399 Euros for a complete set, which, in addition to the laptop, includes a leather organizer folder, a protective case, a mouse and a mouse pad, made in the same style as the laptop itself.
