Acer announced that it has expanded its antimicrobial product portfolio to multiple product lines, covering both consumer and commercial audiences. From TravelMate laptops for office work, to Enduro Urban devices for outdoor lovers, plus a host of accessories like a Works With Chromebook certified keyboard and mouse set, antimicrobial devices will soon be available to a significantly wider range of users in Sri Lanka later this year.
The Acer TravelMate Spin P4 is a business-grade convertible laptop that features Acer’s Antimicrobial 360 Design — a silver ion antimicrobial agent covering high-touch surfaces such as the chassis, keyboard, touchpad, and more. Silver ions are highly reactive particles that dramatically reduce the growth rate of microbes upon contact. The laptop also offers powerful performance with up to an 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 vPro processor, more than sufficient to run several programs, webpages and spreadsheets at once, while up to 1 TB of M.2 SSD storage offers plenty of space for all of a user’s files and assets.
The Acer Enduro Urban N3 is a durable 14-inch laptop that was designed for adventure. Just 1.85 kg (4.08 lbs) light and 21.95 mm (0.86 in) thin, the device has been certified with military-grade durability and industrial-grade resistance against dust and water, enabling it to hold its own in a wide range of situations. This generation of the Enduro Urban N3 takes protection one step further with Acer’s Antimicrobial 360 Design and Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla® Glass, serving to keep the screen clean while out and about. The rest of the device is covered in an ionic silver coating that extends this antimicrobial capability to the chassis, touchpad, buttons, and more.
The Acer Enduro Urban T3 is a durable 10-inch tablet that’s perfect for families who love to explore and learn, whether on a camping trip or taking online classes in the living room. The tablet has been enhanced with Acer’s Antimicrobial 360 Design, featuring antimicrobial solution on almost all of its touchable surfaces, including the screen, cover, frame, bumpers and buttons. Above the screen sits a front 5 MP wide-angle camera, while the addition of a microphone with AI noise reduction and dual-band 3 WiFi makes the Enduro Urban T3 great for video calls and remote learning.
The Acer VE246Q features a 23.6-inch FHD VA panel that is both earth-friendly and eye-friendly, supporting wide 178-degree viewing angles and offering a 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio for incredibly sharp images. Featuring Acer’s Antimicrobial 360 Design, the monitor’s housing and cover glass is made with recycled plastic that has been coated with a silver-ion antimicrobial agent, offering a 99% reduction rate against a host of bacteria. It also boasts a number of green certifications such as ENERGY STAR®, TCO and EPEAT, speaking to the power-saving design of its LED backlight and the responsible management of materials in its manufacturing.
Acer brought antimicrobial capabilities to some of its Works With Chromebook certified accessories, devices that have been tested and approved to meet Google’s compatibility standards. They are certified to work seamlessly with Chromebooks and have updateable firmware, offering users compatibility with the peripherals of today and tomorrow.
The Acer Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse KM501 is a Works With Chromebook certified keyboard and mouse set. The compact keyboard features the Acer Antimicrobial 360 Design, which includes an antimicrobialsilver-ion solution, on the majority of its surfaces and a special layout designed to complement all of the features of Chrome OS.
The Acer Bluetooth Mouse B501 is a 1,000 DPI mouse that also features the Acer Antimicrobial 360 Design, consisting of an antimicrobial silver-ion solution on the majority of its surfaces and an ambidextrous design which allows it to be comfortably used by both right- and left-handed users.
