What you need to know

• Acer took the wraps off of several updates across its gaming lineup today.
• New entries include updates to the Helios 700 and 300, Triton 300, and Nitro 7, among others..
• The updated PCs are expected to arrive between July and October, with prices starting at $1,000.

Along with new ConceptD PCs and gaming monitors today, Acer also unveiled a ton of updates across its gaming PC lineup. Notebook fans will get a chance to check out new Helios, Triton, and Nitro PCs. Meanwhile, Acer also has a couple of new desktops on offer. Through each, the company has gone all in on Intel's latest processors and NVIDIA graphics.

Here's a look at what's new.

Predator Helios 700 specs and features

Sitting at the top of the pack with Acer's gaming laptops is the Predator Helios 700. Like all of the other refreshes, Acer has embraced Intel's 10th Gen H-Series Core processors and NVIDIA RTX SUPER graphics. Where the company has really pushed things, however, is with thermals.

The Predator Helios 700 includes Acer's new "Predator PowerGem" thermal solution in models with a Core i9 processor. Acer claims PowerGem has 3.83 times more vertical heat conductivity than copper, which should help move heat more efficiently. Every model also includes three copper heat pipes, a vapor chamber, and AeroBlade 3D fans.

You can also expect to get per-key RGB lighting on the keyboard, and swappable WASD keys with adjustable lighting and actuation points.

Expect the Predator Helios 700 to start arriving in October with prices starting at $2,400.

Predator Helios 300 specs and features

The Predator Helios 300 sits below the 700, aiming to give you good bang for your buck. That includes RTX 2070 graphics with Max-Q design that can be overclocked, along with a 240Hz display.

Acer is also touting the Helios 300's DTS:X Ultra Audio here with its 360-degree sound capabilities. There's also a big focus on cooling with Acer's AeroBlade 3D fans and CoolBoost, which lets you manually adjust fans to bring cooling to "critical areas" during intense gaming sessions.

Expect the Predator Helios 300 to land starting in July with prices starting at $1,200.

Triton 300 specs and features

Going down the lineup is the Triton 300, which also bring 10th Gen Intel Core H-series processors to the table. Like the Helios 300, you can also snag NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q graphics and a 240Hz display.

Cooling is a focus here as well, with a setup similar to the Helios 300. Acer also touts its display prowess, covering 100 percent of the sRGB color space. That should make it pretty good for content creation in addition to gaming.

The Triton 300 is expected to launch starting in July with prices starting at $1,300.

Nitro 7 specs and features

At the most affordable end of the gaming laptop line is the Nitro 7. This budget-focused gaming notebook features a lot of bang for your buck, including Intel Core H-series processors and up to GeForce RTX 2060 graphics.

With robust cooling, Acer's only big compromises here are in the screen, which can only hit up to 144Hz. That's still pretty healthy for a gaming laptop, but it falls below the rest of Acer's gaming notebook lineup.

The Acer Nitro 7 is expected to launch starting in July from $1,000.

Predator Orion 9000 specs and features

The Predator Orion 9000 desktop is a "gaming monster," Acer says. And it's easy to see why.. An Intel Core i9 Extreme Edition processor powers things, along with dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics.

Acer says you can also expect up to 16 percent more airflow and 55 percent increased static pressure from the Predator 9000's three 4.7-inch FrostBlade fans.

The Predator Orion 9000 is expected to arrive starting in September in China and October in EMEA territories.

Nitro 50 specs and features

Finally, there's the Nitro 50 series of gaming desktops. Here, things ratchet down to Intel's 10th Gen Core i7 processor, NVIDIA RTX 2060 SUPER graphics, and up to 64GB of RAM.

Here's a look at the full specs.

The Nitro 50 is expected to launch in North America in September starting at $800. EMEA territories are expected to get the Nitro 50 in August, while China can expect it in July.
