Acer , through the release of a press release, announced the new Predator Triton 500 and Acer Nitro 5 gaming notebooks, equipped with excellent thermal performance, 10th generation Intel Core processors and the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX SUPER and GTX GPUs . James Lin, General Manager, Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer, said:

In addition to the latest processors and GPUs, we’ve made updates to the Predator  Triton 500 and Acer Nitro 5 this year . In particular, we have implemented a new thermal technology that  keeps devices at low temperatures so that gamers can enjoy the  performance of the latest silicon technology .

Predator Triton 500

Equipped with the latest 10th Generation Intel Core processors for high performance notebooks and with GPUs up to the  NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER  or 2070 SUPER with Max-Q design, Predator Triton 500 is capable of tackling the toughest challenges. Despite the power, productivity is guaranteed up to 7.5 hours of battery life, making this notebook an excellent choice for pro gamers. The  300Hz IPS panel  is an industry-leading component, delivering an overdrive response time of 3ms and letting you enjoy the action in smooth, brilliant detail, with 100% sRGB color gamut coverage and wide angles of vision. NVIDIA G-SYNC technology eliminates tearing and minimizes lag.

Predator Triton 500 is equipped with a  Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650i wireless controller , an E3100G Ethernet controller and Control Center 2.0 to take the quality of the network connection to new levels, ensuring all the necessary bandwidth for critical applications. All this power is packed into a slim all-metal chassis with a thickness of 17.9mm and a weight of just 2.1kg, thin-bezel displays and an 81% screen-to-body ratio. The notebook supports up to 32GB of DDR4 memory and up to 2TB of NVMe SSD storage in RAID 0.

The Predator Triton 500 comes with  Acer Vortex Flow technology , a new design that features three custom designed fans strategically placed in the chassis, working in concert to increase airflow and reduce noise. Its action is further enhanced by CoolBoost technology, which increases the speed of the fans to improve performance. Gamers can monitor device temperature and adjust fan speed via the PredatorSense UI.

The innovative cooling system of this notebook is also guaranteed by  the fourth generation AeroBlade 3D all-metal fans  , specially designed to maximize airflow and reduce noise. Serrated edges and curved fins allow for an increase in airflow of up to 45%. By adding five heat pipes to the setup, the 2020 edition Predator Triton 500 manages to snatch 33% better thermal performance than its 2019 predecessor.

Acer Nitro 5

The Acer Nitro 5 is equipped with a 5 GHz 10th Generation Intel Core i7 processor and graphics options that include  a GeForce RTX 2060  or the latest GeForce GTX 1650Ti or 1650 GPUs. It is equipped with up to two M.2 SSDs. PCle and a 1TB HDD1 for storage and up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM split across two user-upgradeable DIMM slots. Available with a 15.6-inch FHD IPS display, gamers will especially appreciate the 2020 model’s significantly improved graphics. Models with 144Hz or 120Hz1 refresh rates and 3ms response times allow for artifact-free gameplay graphics, which comes alive on the 300 nit panel with 72% NTSC coverage.

Acer Nitro 5 offers several innovative thermal solutions to maximize cooling efficiency even under heavy loads. It features a dual-fan cooling system that takes advantage of strategically placed intake and exhaust ports, and four air intakes. It provides an overall improvement in thermal performance of 25% over the 2019 model. Efficiency is further enhanced by  CoolBoost technology , which increases fan speed by 10% and CPU / GPU cooling by 9%. New to this year’s model is Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (802.11ax) and Killer Ethernet E2600 connectivity, which increase network stability and performance, allowing gamers to take full advantage of thermal enhancements.
