Acer has always been praised for its ConceptD series of machines. They always introduce totally different concepts and mechanisms. Following the trend, Acer on Saturday announced two ConceptD series notebooks i.e., ConceptD 7 & ConceptD 7 Pro, and one ConceptD desktop, i.e., ConceptD 300. All three machines are featuring Tiger Lake CPUs and with cutting-edge hardware. The new Acer ConceptD 7 and ConceptD 7 Pro notebooks now feature the 10th Gen Intel Core processor. The Acer ConceptD 300 mid-tower desktop packs a 10th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU.
Acer says that the new Acer ConceptD PC devices are aimed toward professional creators who work with heavy animation and 3D rendering applications. Additionally, the ConceptD 7 and ConceptD 7 Pro notebooks now feature 10th Gen Intel Core processors also because of the company’s latest Vortex Flow cooling technology.
However, the devices aren’t coming to India within the first phase of the launch, and therefore the company has not clarified the roadmap for the country, yet. The ConceptD desktops will start shipping to markets in North America, Europe, Africa, the center East, and China within the coming months.
