Acer ConceptD 300

Designer desktop

In addition to a legion of assorted laptops, Acer has expanded its product range with the unusual ConceptD 300 desktop PC, which is aimed at 3D modelers, architects, graphic designers and video editors. They basically took the idea of their ConceptD "creative laptop" and crammed it into a one-piece chassis that you can hook up to any monitor you want. In general, an alternative for those pros who do not want to overpay for mobility.

In the most visible place

The ConceptD 300 is housed in a miniature Mid-Tower that won't take up much desk space. It is on the table that he belongs, because Acer designers really got confused with the design of the case, decorative elements and wooden inserts, hiding it under the table would be blasphemy. The manufacturer promises a very quiet (for the office) noise level of the workstation, which will not exceed 40 dBA.

Powered by NVIDIA Ampere

Inside the case is a 10th generation Core i7 processor and the recently introduced NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 from the Ampere family, which confidently bypasses yesterday's leader in the face of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. The system is also ready to offer up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM and an NVMe SSD with a capacity of up to 1 TB. This, of course, is not a NASA computer, but something very close to it.

Everything is connected

While in the ConceptD 7 laptop engineers had to save space and trim the number of ports, the Desktop ConceptD 300 has more than enough ports. Here you have versatile USB, and a card reader, and a LAN port, and a whole bunch of video outputs for connecting multiple monitors. You definitely won’t have to mess around with USB hubs, and this is already a big plus.
