The liquid-cooled Switch Alpha 12 notebook is a 2-in-1 model that costs $599 and will be available starting in May. The Switch Alpha 12 is a thin 2-in-1 notebook that features a 2160 x 1440 touchscreen display, and Acer claimed this is the first fanless 2-in-1 laptop to use a 6th generation (Skylake) Core i-series processor. This is made possible by the Switch Alpha’s liquid cooler. It has 4GB or 8GB of LPDDR3 SDRAM memory and 128GB, 256GB or 512GB solid-state drives (SSDs) for data storage. The machines also include a microSDXC slot and a USB 3.1 Type-C port, plus Bluetooth 4.0 and dual-band 2x2 MU-MIMO 802.11ac/a/b/g/n WiFi connectivity.

Among the new notebook offerings Acer revealed was the Chromebook 14 for Work, Acer’s first Chromebook compliant with the Chrome for Work initiative. The company claimed that this is the first notebook available on the market that features Vibrant Corning Gorilla Glass. The Acer Chromebook 14 for Work also features an Intel Core i-Series processor, giving it a CPU horsepower advantage over other Chromebooks sporting Atom or Celeron processors.

Another Acer’s new machine is the Predator G1 gaming desktop. It features 6th-generation Intel Core processors and up to 64GB of DDR4 memory. It also includes a case interior that supports full size Nvidia GeForce GTX graphics up to the Titan X card. Plus, the Predator G1 can be configured with up to a 4TB 7,200-rpm hard disk drive or a 512GB SSD. The desktop will be available in North America in July starting at $2,300.

Acer revealed two new ultra-thin devices: the S 13 notebook and the R 15 convertible laptop. The S 13 has an entry-level price of $699 and features 6th generation Intel Core-series processors, FHD IPS displays with an optional touchscreen, and it offers up to a 13-hour battery life.

The R 15 is a brand new convertible with a 15.6-inch FHD IPS display that can feature Intel Core processors (Skylake), up to 12 GB DDR4 memory, and up to an Nvidia GeForce 940MX graphics module, offering an impressive combination of a thin design, functionality and performance.
