As a cavalcade of vendors start announcing their respective 8th generation Intel Coffee Lake processor products, Acer is looking to put its own “spin” on the anticipated CPU launch with the new Nitro 5 Spin notebook.
The new laptop is being marketed as a casual gaming convertible, with a 15.6” 1920 x 1080 IPS display that can be positioned multiple ways depending on your workload and environment (the hinge rotates 360 degrees). The Nitro 5 Spin features an all-aluminum chassis with a black brushed hairline finish and red accents, an LED-backlit keyboard, and up to 10 hours of battery life. Full specifications and available configurations of the Acer Nitro 5 Spin are not yet known, and the company’s announcement seems to emphasize that mobile Intel 8th generation (Coffee Lake) processors are poised to make their Acer debut in the new notebook. All aboard the hype train!
Memory options for the Acer Nitro 5 Spin are also not yet available, but we do know that the new notebook will feature up to a 512GB PCIe SSD and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 graphics. The company also said that 802.11ac MU-MIMO Wi-Fi would also be available, but full storage, graphics, and networking options are currently unknown.
