Acer Receives Five Red Dot Awards for Product Design Excellence

Acer has announced the winning of five Red Dot Design Awards 2015 for Product Design. The winning entries include four products that represent the company’s diverse notebook offering, including the 2-in-1 Aspire Switch 12, the professional TravelMate P645, the convertible Aspire R 13 and the Aspire V Nitro Series notebook designed for entertainment. In addition, the compact and cleanly styled Revo One RL85 desktop was also named a winner.

This year, Acer competed against nearly 5,000 entries from designers and architects in 56 nations, and was recognized for the awards in the category of Computers & Information Technology. The criteria evaluated include the degree of innovation, functionality, ergonomics, durability, and self-explanatory quality.

“Winning this design award is a welcoming result of our relentless pursuit for design excellence that spans across our hardware, software and the overall user experience,” said Maarten Schellekens, VP of Acer Global Marketing and Branding. “We will continue to explore and engage our customers to be closer to their evolving needs. Some of the highlights this year are represented by the unique Ezel Aero Hinge of our convertible notebooks, the use of premium materials such as carbon fiber and Gorilla Glass, and IPS technology.”

“For 60 years, the most-respected design experts have been convening every year in Essen to seek out the best designs,” said Professor Dr. Peter Zec, Founder and CEO of the Red Dot Award, “The laureates of the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2015 have demonstrated exceptionally high achievements and have thus been deservedly successful in the world’s largest design competition.”

Aspire Switch 12 Notebooks

Acer’s Aspire Switch “2-in-1” device is the ideal blend of a notebook and tablet in one device that fits seamlessly into every situation at work or at leisure. The Aspire Switch 12 (SW5-271) offers 5 modes of usage in one unit. Equipped with a unique kickstand design that features a magnetic and snap-on/off wireless keyboard, users can find a configuration for just about any need and use it in laptop, tablet modes with or without keyboard, or desktop mode; and for sharing information and viewing multimedia in display and tent modes. Users can also enjoy 10-point touch controls on a larger screen and use an optional Acer Active Pen[1] for a more intuitive writing and drawing experience.

TravelMate P645 Notebook

The refreshed and multi-award-winning[2] TravelMate P645 notebook provides up to 8 hours of battery life, and uses the latest technologies in video conferencing, shock absorption, and 802.11ac wireless connectivity for superior performance needed on the job. With a 14-inch Full HD IPS anti-glare screen and matte black exterior, the TravelMate P645 conveys business elegance and robustness, while the use of carbon fiber and magnesium-alloy materials present a lightweight design with uncompromising toughness.

Aspire R 13 Convertible Notebook

The Aspire R 13 is intelligently constructed with cutting-edge features that enhance work and play. This convertible notebook incorporates the unique and futuristic Acer Ezel Aero Hinge™ that provides both flexibility and stability. Acer’s patented dual-torque system allows the 13.3-inch screen to rotate 180-degrees and be used in six different ways, while keeping the display stable and in place when touchscreen control is used. The WQHD touchscreen and outer lid are both encased in a slim, but strong, sheet of Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3, making them tough yet beautiful.
