Acer introduces quantum dot monitors and PhD students with Intel Optane memory

Acer has announced two new thin all-in-one computers, which the manufacturer optionally equips with an Intel Optane cache. The U27 does not contain a fan for cooling. In addition, the company is introducing two new game monitors with a quantum dot layer.

For the passive cooling of the U27, Acer uses the Liquidloop heatpipe that it also used with the Switch Alpha 12. The Aspire U27 is a 27″ model with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels and a thickness of 12mm. The all-in-one includes an integrated subwoofer and a camera that enables biometric login with Windows Hello.

The Aspire Z24 is a 23.8″ alternative that is slightly thinner at 11mm. This system is optionally equipped with an Nvidia GeForce 940MX and with an old optical drive. Both the Aspire U27 and Z24 contain a Kaby Lake processor and up to 32GB DDR4 Acer can also build in Intel Optane memory Intel has made the 16GB and 32GB cache modules based on its fast X Point memory available this week.

The Aspire U27 series will be available in the Benelux from the end of June from 1499 euros, the Aspire Z24 series will be available in the same month for a starting price of 899 euros.

The Predator X27 and the Predator Z271UV are two 27″ monitors for gamers, both of which are coated with a quantum dot layer: nanocrystals that have a favorable influence on the color spectrum. The Predator X27 could therefore cover 99 percent of the AdobeRGB color space. for the Z271UV, this applies to 125 percent of the sRGB spectrum.Both models further support Nvidia’s G-Sync to prevent stuttering and tearing of the image, and they feature Tobii sensors for eye tracking to enable gesture control. to make.

The Predator X27 offers a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels at a refresh rate of 144Hz. In addition, there is support for HDR and the maximum brightness is therefore 1000cd/m2. According to Acer, the LEDs can be dimmed in 384 zones. The Predator Z271UV is a curved model with a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels, which can be tilted from -5 to 25 degrees and rotated 30 degrees. The height is adjustable up to 11.9 cm.

The Predator X27 will be available in the Benelux from November, but nothing is known about the availability and price of the Acer Predator Z271UV.
