Acer certainly had a lot to unveil this week. The Predator lineup continues to tackle the high-end, with a new desktop system, a 43-inch 4K/144Hz monitor and two new Predator Helios laptops. The Helios 700 is particularly interesting, as the keyboard can slide forward, opening up extra ventilation and air intake for cooling.

For gamers looking for something a bit more sensibly priced, the Nitro refresh packs some decent specs at under £1,000. Meanwhile, the ‘creative professional' market is being catered to quite well with a ton of ‘ConceptD' devices, ranging from a mixed reality headset, to a dual-Xeon PC. You can see Leo's coverage from the show floor at the event, HERE.

KitGuru Says: There was certainly a lot to see at Acer's event this week. We are looking forward to getting our hands on a few of these new laptops later in the year for reviews.
