The display twists a little and can be pushed in from the outside. It’s easy to open, but the lid itself is a bit flexible. In the dark, the wonderful 4K screen can get overly bright, but of course, that becomes well needed and appreciated in bright environments. Even Acer’s own keyboard in the Triton 500 outshines and is more even than this one.

It is evenly lit for the most part, with only the space bar and the right control key having blacked out areas - super-nitpicky, but some really enjoy looking at keys that are uniformly lit.Ĭompare this type of light-bleed to the individual LEDS found in the Razer Blade and Apple’s MacBook Pro and you’ll see the difference. I find it quite calming, but also strangely alarming and slightly reminiscent of the old amber backlight for some LED clocks and watches or even side-markers of a car. The keyboard lights up with a nice amber backlight. The layout of this keyboard is still preferred over the keyboard of the current generation Razer Blade 15″ though - the Up key is between the right shift key and the ? key. I find myself jabbing the Home key in place of the Backspace key pretty often, but that’s just me and I’m just special, so I think most people would be OK with the keys. The layout of the keyboard is something I’m particularly not used to on a laptop - specifically referring to the extra row of keys on the right side of the laptop. While I’m rather used to the keyboard of the “flawed” MacBook and am one of the few that enjoy it without any issues (I tend not to eat over my keys and have a cloth that goes over the keyboard when not in use), I don’t find anything that I can complain about when actually typing on the keyboard. If you’re not a big fan of the shallow MacBook Pro keyboards, you’ll probably favor this quite a bit. Typing on the keyboard is quite enjoyable. The keys have a bit of texture, which is often times welcomed, but every now and then, it clashes with a fingernail or thumbnail and feels like it could be scratched pretty easily. The white shell definitely gets a little dingy with some use, and the keyboard keys get a little darker and shiner a bit easier than I’d personally expect from laptops. I don’t know if it is just the unit that I got or not, but the ConceptD logo looks ever so slightly crooked above the vent. The Triton 500 has a more calm black shell that I favor more than the ConceptD 7’s white shell, but also has obnoxious logos that the ConceptD 7 forgoes. The chassis and exteriorĪcer’s ConceptD 7 shares its chassis with Acer’s own Predator Triton 500 found in the their gaming line, with the differences being found in the color of the shell and some specifics of the hardware. If you’re feeling the need for greater speed, you can opt for the ConceptD 7 Pro which includes the same processor and ports, but includes 32GB of RAM, 2x1TB SSD and a Quadro RTX 5000 with 16GB of RAM, all in the same slim chassis.

If you need something more powerful, you can opt for the higher end option that comes with the same processor, same assortment of ports but is equipped with 32GB of RAM and a RTX 2080 Max-Q with 8GB of RAM.

At the current moment, it look like only Acer and Asus are the two brands that have laptop models being validated by Pantone in this color space, so that helps set this laptop apart for all of us in the photo/video/graphic design side of the computer user spectrum. The difference lies in the 4K panel that runs in the AdobeRGB color space and is Pantone Validated. In terms of raw specs, the ConceptD 7 15″ model in its base from is quite impressive and shares core hardware specs with many of its competitors. At a price point that’s competitive with a 15″ MacBook Pro, perhaps you’ll find yourself comfortable in this new ConceptD 7. The ConceptD 7 is one of their 15″ variants that boasts some screaming hardware and a 4K screen geared toward accurate color. Acer has been stepping up their game by entering a slew of options for digital creators to their line of gaming laptops.
