Acer Announces Notebooks, Laptops, Monitors At New York Event

At Acer's New York City event last week, the company showed off its upcoming lineup of products, most notably a dedicated gaming series; three low-priced computers (a Chromebook, convertible notebook, and laptop);  a Windows Phone that marked its entry into the U.S. smartphone market; and a new curved monitor sporting Nvidia's G-Sync technology.

But Acer had a whole day's worth of new products to show off ranging from laptops, all-in-one desktops, and a slew of additional monitors. Check out the handy guide below for details on the rest of Acer's new offerings.

This full range of products is a sneak peek of what we can expect from the company for the rest of 2015. Some of the new devices are typical of Acer, but gaming and mobile (at least in the U.S.) is uncharted territory. It will be interesting to see how the company performs for the rest of 2015.

    "32 GB eMMC"

    Dear Acer,
    On some devices you 'might' just get away with such a small drive but on the machines above you are REALLY pushing your luck! Please... oems... Stop shoving CRAP down our faces. Leave that to Google.

    Still waiting to see no more laptops with anything less than a 1080p screen, I might be 100 by the time that happens

    I never thought I would specifically hate a company, but I happen to hate Acer. So far, my experience is that they don't have quality control and do not stand behind their products. No other hardware company has left such a sour taste in my mouth.

    "FX-series" AMD APUs? In a laptop? A real one? Like... having mass and substance and stuff? That people can buy?

    It's too late for April Fool's...

    If that includes the elusive FX-7600p, we just might have a flagship AMD APU in a laptop *before* the next generation is released.

    Wouldn't it just be depressing if Acer starts selling Laptops with an FX-7600p in them as soon as Carrizo is released? It would be the first commercially available FX-7600p laptop in the history of America... *applause*
