Acer Introduces Its Incredible Line-Up in KSA

Acer Essentials was the primary theme at Acer’s latest event in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, held in Riyadh on October 11, 2016. During the event, the media, influencers and bloggers had an opportunity to experience the stylish, convenient and sophisticated range of devices essential for the discerning Saudi consumer. Consumers had the opportunity to experience the all-new line of Acer Spin and Swift laptops, as well as some existing device line ups. Addressing Saudi Arabia’s burgeoning gaming community, visitors had a change to go head to head with multiple games of Streetfighter 5 to test the prowess of Acer’s Predator series of laptops made for gaming.

Speaking about catering to the Saudi Arabian consumer, Kiran Borkar, ‎Regional Marketing Manager, ‎Acer Middle East and Africa, said: “Much like the modern Saudi consumer, our products are both convenient and sophisticated, and we are here today to celebrate the modern Saudi man and woman with products that will add value to the way they live their lives. Our device portfolio, including the all-new Swift and Spin devices, features modest, stylish, and lightweight, yet feature-heavy products with a blend of design and function. This event is a portrayal of just how Acer devices seamlessly fit into your everyday life.”

The event served as a powerful platform to shed light on Acer Essentials and, in particular, its new line-up of groundbreaking products.

Made to fit into your busy lifestyle, the new Swift series of ultra-thin and lightweight notebook PCs is comprised of four lines; the Swift 7, Swift 5, Swift 3 and Swift 1. All models feature Windows 10 and include a device for every budget and lifestyle. The extremely thin Swift 7, at 9.98 mm in height and weighing a mere 1.1 kg, provides incredible portability and up to 9 hours of battery life. Models in the Swift 5 and Swift 3 lines include premium features such as metal chassis, 7th Generation Intel® Core™ processors, Solid State Drives, USB 3.1 Type-C ports, fingerprint scanners and more.

Acer’s new Spin series convertible notebooks; Spin 7, Spin 5, Spin 3 and Spin 1, run on Windows 10, and incorporate innovative 360-degree hinges, along with Continuum, that enable them to be used in various ways: as a notebook or tablet, in a space-saving display mode, or in tent mode for sharing presentations or watching movies. Featuring a 14-inch display in a 13-inch chassis, the Spin 7’s all aluminum unibody is just 10.98 mm thin and weighs 1.2 kg, making it the world’s thinnest convertible notebook.
