Acer's new computer range keeps it thin

From CNET: We first got a glimpse of the Nitro 5 at the Acer press conference last month, and Acer is leaning heavy on "modern titles at a mainstream price." Designed in different configurations to hit a variety of needs for casual gamers, the Nitro 5 will start at $799 in July (converting to around AU$1,075 or £615).

Working to give you gaming performance, the Nitro 5 will come with a dual-fan setup, fast-booting solid state drives and either GeForce 1050 Ti graphics with an Intel i7 processor or AMD Radeon RX550 graphics with a seventh-generation AMD A-series processor.

Plus, the 15.6-inch, 1,920x1080-resolution screen comes in a very angular black and red chassis, just in case you weren't sure that it was designed for gaming at first blush.

Acer also announced the Spin 1 convertible. The all-metal 14 mm (0.55-in)-thin chassis keeps it super sleek, and the touchscreen, gesture control and Acer stylus functionality will keep things moving. With an 11.6-inch 1,920x1080-resolution display and eight-hour battery life, it might be enough for Acer to get the edge in a very crowded space.

The Spin 1 will sell for $329 from July. That converts to around AU$440 or £250.
