Acer Adds Three New Products to Its Antimicrobial Lineup

— October 22, 2021 — Tech
During its latest 'next@Acer' event, technology giant Acer announced the launch of three new PC products that will be added to its antimicrobial lineup: a laptop, tablet, and two-in-one.

Utilizing Acer's 'Antimicrobial 360 Design,' the new PCs are coated with a special silver ion agent that is said to be capable of "destroying or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms," including germs that cause colds, flus, and infections. The 'Acer VE246Q' is the first PC monitor offered by the company to receive an antimicrobial treatment. The unit's entire plastic housing and glass screen are coated with germ-fighting silver ions.

In addition, the company's new antimicrobial two-in-one, the 'TravelMate Spin P4,' comes equipped with an 11th-Gen Intel Core i7 vPro CPU, and 1TB SSD.
