Acer Reveals New Porsche-Designed Laptop, Updates to Business and Creator Lines

From PC Mag: Acer revealed a wide range of new PCs and peripherals at its Next@Acer press conference today, including a notebook co-designed with Porsche and new entries in its creator (ConceptD) and business (TravelMate) lines.

The Porsche Design Acer Book RS will no doubt turn heads, a rare coordinated design effort with a luxury-car brand to create a sleek portable laptop. This machine will weigh just 2.65 pounds and feature a carbon-fiber lid and a diamond-cut metal chassis.

The Porsche Design Acer Book RS will feature up to an 11th generation Intel Core i7-1165G7 "Tiger Lake" processor, a dedicated (albeit low-end) Nvidia GeForce MX350 GPU, and 8GB of memory. Alternatively, it can be configured with a lesser Core i5-1135G7 processor with Intel's own integrated Iris Xe graphics and 8GB of memory.

Moving on to business, Acer also showed off three new TravelMate laptops: The TravelMate P2, the TravelMate P4, and the TravelMate Spin P4. Each of these has eSIM-enabled 4G LTE connectivity and meets MIL-STD durability standards for business travelers.

Finally, we have new PCs for graphics pros and other content creators. This includes the ConceptD 7 and ConceptD 7 Pro laptops, as well as the ConceptD 300 desktop.
