AMD Ryzen 5
With an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, your device will easily handle day-to-day tasks such as work assignments, coursework or browsing the net. Power-hungry programs like image manipulation and video editing software will see processing times reduced, enabling better productivity.
The Ryzen 5 5500U processor in this model features 6 cores that can adjust their speed depending on the complexity of the task they are working on, from 2.10GHz to 4.0GHz.
What is RAM?
RAM (Random Access Memory) is different to the permanent storage provided by hard disk drives (HDD), solid-state drives (SSD) or memory cards in your equipment. RAM is used by your device to temporarily store data to carry out everyday operations. The more RAM your machine has, the faster you can expect it to open and run programs.
Featuring 8GB of RAM, this computer has enough power for casual tasks like web browsing and word processing as well as more demanding jobs like complex spreadsheets and image manipulation. You'll be able to run a healthy number of windows at once without any obvious lag or slowdown.
Solid state drive
Solid-state drives (SSD) give you the capacity to store your documents and media, while ensuring quicker and reliable access to your files and programs. SSDs are far faster than regular hard drives and ingeniously, they don't use moving parts to work, which makes them far more dependable and also quieter.
GeForce RTX 3050 Ti GPU
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3050 graphics processing unit will provide next-gen gaming performance, thanks to enhanced 2nd generation Ray Tracing Cores and 3rd generation Tensor Cores. You'll be able to play all the latest titles without worrying about the settings, whilst providing enough grunt for you to enjoy smooth, quality VR experiences (VR headset sold separately). The GeForce RTX 3060 is DirectX 12 Ultimate compatible.
DirectX 12 Ultimate
DirectX 12 Ultimate is the latest version of the API, and is able to take your games to a whole new level of realism, thanks to supporting ray tracing, mesh shaders, variable-rate shading, and sampler feedback.
Great entertainment
Thanks to its 15.6”, Full HD screen, viewing your high-resolution photos, films and videos will be a pleasure. The 144Hz refresh rate makes everything feel super fluid and responsive on-screen, and thanks to two built-in stereo speakers with Acer TrueHarmony technology, it makes for a great casual gaming and multimedia experience.
Connecting your other devices
The USB ports allow for fast data transfer, whilst the HDMI port enables the option for large screen presentations. Additionally, Bluetooth can help to send data wirelessly between devices.
