Acer's Aspire Predator gaming rig gets even faster, stays just as orange


Just a few weeks too late for a Transformers 2 tie-in, Acer has announced a new revision of its Aspire G desktop, a.k.a. Predator. It shares the same case with the earlier edition that hit the US of A late last year, but naturally has some better specs this time 'round. The CPU is now one of Intel's new Core i7 950's running at 3.06GHz, up to 12GB of DDR3 RAM is on offer, while more permanent storage is offered by a 1TB HDD and a Blu-ray reader. A pair of NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 graphics cards keep the pixels flowing over four DVI-D ports, and dual Gigabit Ethernet is on offer for those about to rock shotgun network connections. All that clad in a brilliant orange case that looks like it rolled off the Lamborghini production line, though at ¥259,800 ($2,700ish) it's a lot cheaper than the MurciĆ©lago LP 670-4 Superveloce you've been drooling over. No word on American availability, but since the last one took about four months to make it this way perhaps we'll see this one by year's end.

ASX5810: New Acer Aspire X Available Next Week


Acer also announced a new Aspire X Series dekstop PC, the ASX5810-A40F, scheduled to be released next week (August 7th).

Less impressive than the Predator previously announced, the ASX5810 is still decent and features an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 (2.33GHz), 3GB of DDR3 (up to 8GB), an Intel G43 Express chipset, 1TB of HDD, an Nvidia GeForce GT 120 (1GB of VRAM), a DVD SuperMulti Drive, as well as 9 USB ports, eSATA port, a DVI-I port, HDMI output, a Gigabit Ethernet.

It runs on Windows Vista Home Premium (32bit) and comes with a 20" crystal brite LCD screen with a resolution of 1600x900, a response time of 5ms, and a brightness of 300cd/m2

Price: 129,800 Yen, or €975.
