Acer Nitro 5 laptop for $680: Game on the go for 15 percent off

At this year's CES, Acer unveiled some "hearty updates" to the Nitro 5 laptop.

Today, I bring you a hearty discount: For a limited time, and while supplies last, Best Buy has the Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop for $679.99 shipped (plus tax). Regular price: $800.

(For what it's worth, Ebates offers a 1-percent rebate on Best Buy purchases -- not a fortune, but last I checked, $6.79 was still $6.79.)

I can't say this is the sexiest laptop I've ever seen (the red keyboard backlight helps), but it definitely has the horsepower you need for high-end gaming. That starts with an 8th-gen Intel Core i5-8300H mobile processor, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB solid-state drive. Of particular importance, the Nitro 5 has an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics processor with 4GB of dedicated video memory. (Note that there's also an AMD Radeon version of the Nitro 5.)

That's enough for both gaming and VR, should you decide to run an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive. (Alas, it's just shy of the requirements for the Vive Pro.)

The Nitro 5 offers a 15.6-inch screen with a 1,920 x 1,080 native resolution. It doesn't have an optical drive, but does include a full-size HDMI port and four USB ports: one USB-C, one USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0.

CNET's review of the Nitro 5 is in progress and due by the end of the week. Until then, note that it scored a 4.5-star average rating from around 60 Best Buy buyers. The key takeaway: It's a killer deal for budget-minded gamers. And that was based on the $800 price tag; at $680, it's even more killer!

Ace Teah

Bonus deal: Pools, beaches, kayaks, canoes -- all fun, all potential hazards for your phone. That's why it's a no-brainer to pack waterproof pouches for all your summertime activities.

Like these: For a limited time, and while supplies last, Ace Teah's waterproof phone pouch 2-pack is $6.99 with promo code M2VR2U4Q. You get one blue and one green.

Two things I like about these: The lanyard that lets you wear them around your neck (or tie them to, say, your kayak) and the clear plastic that lets you interact with the phone -- and even take pictures -- while it's in the pouch.

Just take note that if you have a particularly large phone (like a "Plus"-size iPhone) and it's in a bulky case, it may not fit inside the pouch. Read the full product description for compatibility details.

Acer Predator Orion 3000, 5000 and Nitro 50 review: Acer's new gaming desktops run the gamut, from high-end Predator to low-end Nitro

Acer Predator Orion 3000, 5000 and Nitro 50 review: Acer's new gaming desktops run the gamut, from high-end Predator to low-end Nitro

If you love the design of Acer's splashy Predator Orion 9000 gaming desktop, but don't have the space, Acer announced two equally snazzy but smaller alternatives at its annual event. Sadly, we don't yet know how much any of the new gear will cost, nor when it will arrive.

Acer teased a high-end Predator X, but aside from mentioning it would come equipped with dual Intel Xeon processors, we know nothing. The eighth-generation Xeons are supposedly more game- and VR-ready than their predecessors, which could potentially make the X a nice creative/gaming crossover system, but you're still stuck with the workstation vs. gaming card driver issue.

The Orion 3000 is the baby of the group at 14.5 x 6.8 x 14.6 in/368 x 167 x 372 mm (HWD). Specs include:

• Optane-compatible eighth-gen Core i7-8700 or Core i5-8400
  
• Up to 64GB, 2,666Hz memory, 32GB Intel Optane
  
• Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050/1050 Ti through GTX 1080
  
• Up to 3TB HDD or 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD
  
• Creative Sound Blaster X 720°
  
• Gigabit Ethernet, 2x2 wireless, Bluetooth 5
  
• 1 PCIe x16 slot; 1 PCIe x1 slot; 1 M.2 2280 PCIe x4 slot for SSD; 1 M.2 2230 slot for WLAN
  

The bigger Orion 5000 is more of a compromise between size and expandability. It comes in two versions: one designed for dual-GPUs with two-way graphics and overclocking -- that one goes up to an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti -- and the other for a single GPU and no OC. Specs include:

• Optane-compatible 8th-gen Core i7-8700 or 8700K or Core i5-8600 or 8600K
  
• Up to 64GB, 2,666Hz memory, 32GB Intel Optane
  
•  Up to 3TB HDD or 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD
  
• Creative Sound Blaster X 720°
  
• Killer E2400 Ethernet, Bluetooth 4.2
  
• 22 x 10.0 x 20.5 in/563 x 253 x 520 mm (HWD)
  
• 2 PCIe x16 slots; 2 PCIe x1 slots; 1 M.2 2280 PCIe x4 slot for SSD; 1 M.2 2230 slot for WLAN
  

For more mainstream "I like to game but don't like to look the part" buyers, Acer added a desktop model to its mainstream consumer Nitro line, the Nitro 50. One of its perks is an optional Qi wireless charging pad. Other specs include:

• Optane-compatible 8th-gen Core i7-8700, Core i5-8400 or Core i3-8100
  
• Up to 64GB, 2,666Hz memory, 32GB Intel Optane
  
• Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050/1050 Ti through GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX 580X/RX 580
  
• Up to 3TB HDD or 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD
  
• Creative Sound Blaster X 360°
  
• Gigabit Ethernet, 2x2 wireless, Bluetooth 5
  
• 1 PCIe x16 slot; 1 PCIe x1 slot; 1 M.2 2280 PCIe x4 slot for SSD; 1 M.2 2230 slot for WLAN

It offers a lower-price entry into Acer's gaming with Core i3 and AMD GPU options, but for the most part it's very similar on the inside to the Orion 3000.

To complement the Nitro 50, Acer introduced the Nitro VGO display. It comes in 22-, 24- and 27-inch models, with HD, QHD or 4K IPS panels and up to 144Hz refresh rate, presumably at the lower resolutions. 

New to its gaming mice, the Cestus 510 offers swappable top and right panels, optional weights up to 10 grams, 16,000 dpi resolution at a speed of up to 400 inches per second. Plus it had a nice lighting design. There's also a gold-and-white version to match with the new Helios 300 Special Edition.

The Acer Aspire C27, C24 all-in-one desktops aim to simplify your WFH life

The Acer Aspire C27, C24 all-in-one desktops aim to simplify your WFH life

This story is part of CES, where CNET covers the latest news on the most incredible tech coming soon.

We're going to see quite a few PCs -- laptops and desktops -- this year and beyond aimed at all the people who started working from home during the pandemic and aren't going back to an office full-time or at all. It's a change that will benefit everyone, regardless of where you're working from, because it's forced PC-makers to make some overdue improvements. The upcoming Acer Aspire C24 and C27 all-in-one desktops announced at CES 2022 are good examples. 

The 24- and 27-inch desktops will have 12th-gen Intel processors up to a Core i7, up to 64GB of memory, a 1TB or 2TB SSD for storage and entry-level Nvidia GeForce MX550 discrete graphics. The resolution on the displays is just 1080p but they are touchscreens. Also, they have Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6E, so moving data around fast won't be a problem.

To help out with the increase in video conference calls you're no doubt doing, Acer put in a 5-megapixel webcam with a physical privacy shutter and dual microphones for better audio. And the AIOs only weigh about 3 or 4 pounds (1.4 or 1.8 kilograms) depending on the model, so if you have to pick up and move to another room in your house to work, it seems like it'll be pretty painless.

No pricing or availability was announced, but the Aspire line is all about value, so I would expect these to be reasonably affordable whenever they arrive this year.
