基隆收購筆電acer’s ditching AMD in its latest lineup of Aspire 3 and Aspire 5 laptops. The company’s new Aspire 5 devices come only with options for Intel and Nvidia products, ranging up to a 10-core Intel 13th Gen Core i7 1355U, along with up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card.

That’s a sizeable bump from the (up to) four-core Intel i7-1165G7 processor (or the up-to-eight-core AMD Ryzen 7 5700U) offered in the Aspire 5 lineup released last year, although a newer model now comes with a 10-core Intel 12th Gen Core i7-1255U. Just like the previous generation, 基隆收購筆電acer’s newly released lineup also features three display sizes: 14 inches, 15.6 inches, and 17.3 inches.

The Aspire 5 comes with storage options that max out at 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1TB M.2 SSD. There’s also a 1080p webcam on all models, as well as a TwinAir cooling system and “air inlet keyboard” that allows for improved airflow. You can expect support for Wi-Fi 6E, USB-C with Thunderbolt 4, and HDMI 2.1. The 14-inch Aspire 5 starts at $549.99, while the 15-inch and 17-inch models start at $599.99 and $699.99, respectively.

On the more budget-friendly side of things, the Aspire 3 is also getting an Intel-only refresh, coming only with the option for an Intel Core i3 N-305 chip. The Aspire 3 comes in 14-inch, 15-inch, and 17-inch flavors, with each full HD IPS panel featuring 基隆收購筆電acer’s BlueLightShield technology to help reduce eye strain. There’s a range of storage options as well, allowing up to 16GB of LPDDR5 SDRAM and up to a 1TB NVMe Gen3 PCIe SSD.

基隆收購筆電acer says the new lineup has “improved thermal systems” that allow for a 40 percent increase in fan surface area, as well as a 17 percent thermal capacity for better airflow. It also comes with support for Wi-Fi 6E, USB-C with Thunderbolt 4, and HDMI 2.1. The 14-inch Aspire 3 starts at $449, the 15-inch starts at $349, and the 17-inch starts at $379.99.

The company’s also launching new Swift laptops, which now include a new Swift Go line consisting of 16-inch and 14-inch laptop models that are designed to be ultraportable. The laptops each come with a thin and light design, with the 14-inch model weighing less than three pounds. Both laptops sport OLED displays with up to Intel Core i7-13700H processors and Intel Iris Xe graphics. For more power, 基隆收購筆電acer’s also selling Swift X 14 and Swift X 16 variations that come with up to Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 laptop GPUs.

Meanwhile, the other non-Go Swift model comes only with a 14-inch touchscreen IPS LCD display with up to Intel Core i7-13700H processor and Intel Iris Xe graphics. Both the 基隆收購筆電acer Swift Go 16 and 14 starts at $899.99, while the Swift X 14 bumps the starting price to $1,199.99. The standard Swift 14 is the most expensive of the bunch, starting at $1,299.99. All of 基隆收購筆電acer’s new devices are set to become available this spring and into the summer.

全球 PC 市場蕭條,Intel 向外媒證實,將不再直接投資 NUC「迷你電腦」,轉與其他生態系夥伴攜手合作,旗下自有品牌的「迷你電腦」將走入歷史。

外媒《ServetheHome》報導,Intel 證實將停止對於 NUC 業務的直接投資,會調整戰略,改與生態系統夥伴合作創新。同時也強調,現有的產品將會持續支援。外媒認為,有鑑於全球 PC 市場持續低迷,已經連續六季出貨量下探,Intel 或許是在精簡業務,專心於晶片生產。

消息一出,不少人對於 NUC 的終結感到惋惜。Intel 在 2013 年首度推出 NUC「迷你電腦」系列,在非常稍大於 Mac mini 的小巧主機,保留諸多電腦 DIY 的升級元素,某些型號更能支援 RTX 3080 Ti 等全尺寸顯示卡,讓消費者可以獲得一款不佔空間、效能又強大的迷你電腦。

外媒《Engadget》分析,NUC 存在的意義已經不像 10 年前一樣強烈,由於緊湊的機殼使 GPU、CPU 散熱是一大考驗,另外蘋果 Mac mini 還有華擎、Dell 與聯想等對手,都加劇了市場競爭。
