Predator Orion 7000, powered by Intel next gen processors, the Predator Orion 7000 (PO7-660) is a gaming monster
promising next-gen performance and AI support that will excite even the most competitive gamers. This robust rig offers up to a state-of-the-art NVIDIA GeForce RTX ™ 4090 GPU with AI- powered DLSS that multiplies performance in spectacular virtual scenes. And with three months of PC Game Pass included, players will enjoy hundreds of high-quality PC games.
Designed for intense gaming sessions, the Orion 7000 houses an advanced cooling system to maintain its superior performance. It features the new Predator CycloneX 360 system fan and CPU liquid cooler working in tandem to keep vital components cool while maximizing performance. The patented Predator CycloneX 360 utilizes an advanced 3-in-1 fan setup and a uniquely engineered flow channel to effectively expel heat from critical zones with maximized
airflow volume and static pressure. In conjunction with a 360 mm CPU liquid cooling system, this pairing creates an optimal cooling environment and boosts the desktop’s cooling efficiency by 15% while lowering motherboard temperatures by 9 degrees Celsius compared to the previous model.
The integrated PredatorSense 4.0 utility app lets gamers quickly and easily overclock components and customize ARGB/RGB lighting preferences. Lightning-fast connectivity is fueled by Thunderbolt ™ 4 and Wi-Fi 7, the latest networking standard delivering speeds of 40 to 46 Gbps. With storage options of up to 4 TB HDD, 6 TB PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD and an SSD swap slot for expansion, the Predator Orion 7000 can store a wide array of game titles.
Acer Nitro V 16
The newest Nitro V 16 (ANV16-71) is ideal for all types of productivity tasks and multimedia applications thanks to its high-resolution display options, powerful components and thermals that keep the laptop running smoothly and cool. Delivering superior image quality and high pixel density of up to a 180 Hz 16-inch (16:10) WQXGA (2500 x 1600) display, it is an excellent choice for photo editing, color grading tasks, gaming, and other fast-paced content. It also includes a MUX switch for GPU performance boosting.
Configured with up to an Intel Core i7-14650HX processor, up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, up to 32 GB of memory, and up to a 2 TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD, it’s powerful enough to tackle the latest applications and current games with ease. Its dual-fan quad-intake and quad-exhaust system draws cold air from the top keyboard and button cover and expels heat through side and rear vents, eliminating throttling and ensuring peak CPU and GPU
performance.
Leveraging the Power of AI
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX Laptop GPUs in the latest gaming PCs are powered by the ultra- efficient NVIDIA ADA Lovelace architecture, which enables over 600 AI-accelerated apps and games. They get a massive boost in performance with AI-powered DLSS 3.5 technology, noise removal and background replacement with the Broadcast app, and help users finish coursework faster with AI-accelerated STEM apps. NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 makes games even more beautiful, immersive, and realistic with the introduction of Ray Reconstruction, a new AI-powered
technique that further enhances the quality of ray tracing. Rounding out the laptops’ features is Copilot in Windows 11, Microsoft’s everyday AI companion, that provides answers and inspirations from the web, helping foster creativity and productivity.
A dedicated Copilot key on their keyboards makes activating the AI assistant quick and easy. A suite of AI-enabled features can also be maximized when streaming or video chatting with the webcam’s AI-supported Acer PurifiedView™ and Acer PurifiedVoice™ 2.0 featuring three microphones with AI noise reduction technology.
