Users can purchase them in configurations with up to 64 GB of RAM and up to 2 TB of SSD storage. They have a 16-inch 3K display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. ConceptD 5 is capable of 4K video processing, 8K editing, multi-application, multi-monitor workflows, as well as 2D and 3D software rendering programs. They come with several connectivity options like 2 USB-C ports, Thunderbolt 4 support, HDMI 2.1 and an SD card reader. Acer also gives users a choice of ConceptD 5 Pro laptops with Nvidia RTX A5000 or RTX A3000 GPUs. Since both are professional-grade graphics cards, these options will require consumers to spend more money than the non-Pro ConceptD 5 laptop. Meanwhile, the ConceptD 7 Ezel convertible laptop model has also been updated with Intel’s new 11th Gen Core i7-11800H processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 mobile GPU. It features a 15.6-inch 4K display and configurable with up to 32 GB of RAM and up to 2 TB of SSD storage. The device has a variety of usage modes thanks to Acer’s flexible hinge design and comes with a Wacom ER pen. Like the ConceptD 5, the ConceptD 7 Ezel also comes in a pro version powered by Intel’s Xeon W-11955M processor with Nvidia’s professional-grade RTX A5000 or A3000 GPU. Finally, Acer’s mid-range ConceptD 3 devices have also been upgraded with 11th Gen Intel H-series processors and Nvidia’s RTX 3050 Ti mobile GPUs. They are available in two variants, the standard ConceptD 3 and the convertible ConceptD 3 Ezel. Acer has also rolled out Pro versions of both, with Intel’s H-series processors bumped up to Core i7 options and Nvidia T1200 mobile GPUs. All ConceptD 3 models feature FHD displays, SSD storage, and Thunderbolt 4 support. ConceptD 5 will be the first member of Acer’s new product series to be released, with a starting date of July with a starting price of 2,199 EUR.
