Acer + Porsche Design

Acer has teamed up with Porsche Design to create a new, high-end laptop, the Porsche Design Acer Book RS. Under the hood, the machine has a 11th Gen Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, 8 or 16GB of RAM and 512GB or 1TB of storage. As for the GPU, you have the choice between Intel’s integrated Iris XE or the optional Nvidia GeForce MX350. The 14-inch IPS touchscreen provides a resolution of 1080p, which is standard. Its weight is very manageable, at 1.2kg, thanks in part to a carbon-fibre chassis. But the surprising thing about it is its price, at USD1,400 (CAD1,840), which, while a bit high for the specifications, is not completely out of line, given it’s a Porsche Design product. An optional mouse comes at USD110 (CAD145). The release date has not been announced.
