Acer Outs Environmental Friendly Laptops at CES 2025

Thursday, January 09, 2025

Looks like they've never stopped at making newer, way better laptops and even more environmentally sound ones at CES 2025. Not only did they have it made, but it won rightful accolades specifically the Aspire Vero 16. This is Acer's carbon neutral laptop that is primarily made with oyster shells, a technology that they've seen would be apt especially for the ones who worry about nature, like me and you!

They also utilize an Intel Core Ultra 200H, something that they have in both the new Swift Go and this Aspire Vero 16. The new processors were designed sustainably, making it lightweight, with a 3K OLED display on one and 2K IPS on the other. They've also added a few networking products to take advantage of 5G connectivity which works a lot on mobile. Much of these laptops have a recycled plastic chassis, something that probably made merit with their CES Innovation Award honor in the event.

I'd love to have those routers and dongle since we're probably heading to Wi Fi 7 standard tech in devices soon.

Make sure you visit acer.com for these particular models, they're pretty good!

VICE GANDA Does OFW Family Drama in MMFF 2024 Film "AND THE BREADWINNER IS"


Just got out of the cinemas after watching "And the Breadwinner Is...", the MMFF 2024 entry of Star Cinema and IdeaFirst Company. This stars the one and only Unkabogable Vice Ganda and an ensemble cast that includes Eugene Domingo, Joel Torre, Malou De Guzman, Maris Racal, Anthony Jennings, Kokoy de Santos, Jhong Hilario, Gladys Reyes, and more. 

While this movie is expected to be funny (it is in the first half mostly), it has concentrated a lot on family and its intricacies. It would make folks learn more about how flawed we all are, how we need to spend MORE time with each other, and how we need LOVE.

Vice in this movie, in a way, is not just a source of laughter, but one who'd initiate real talk in the film. As the namesake means, Vice plays the breadwinner, one who's trying to manage and survive the challenges it entails. The hardships, like any person, would practically reach its boiling point and you'll see where Vice's character is coming from especially if she's done a LOT to make sure her family lives comfortably, and survive life in general. It's one of the most touching films I've seen this MMFF, I think it's why people have been crying the cinemas because it pulls heartstrings with the most important people in your life.

 


Kudos to Vice's great performance, that remarkable monologue with the other characters about their struggles really hit home. I felt several lines would hit you especially if you have OFW experiences. I almost lost it when she asked where a breadwinner would get rest because she felt, almost all the time, she had no right to.

Her scenes with her Mom Malou de Guzman also showed how one needed love (despite conditions), you should definitely see that.

Don't be swayed by opinions of non MMFF 2024 movie watchers because at the end of the day, this movie made sense for me. Congratulations Vice, Direk Jun and everyone who made the film. I'd give this a strong 4 out of 5 cows 🐮🐮🐮🐮.

Acer Unveils Even More Powerful Predator Helios AI Laptops

Tuesday, January 07, 2025

The folks from Acer just recently unveiled some really serious Predator Helios AI Laptops that even have new generation Intel Core ultra Processors and its own NVIDI GeForce RTX 50 series GPU's for the most meticulous gamers out there. This and connecting it to the monster XB323QX gaming monitor would be the best Christmas gift (late or not). We're talking about an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 275HX here and the aforementioned RTX50 series GPU's, something that Valorant or high graphics gaming pros would appreciate at any given day. This would also make the actual device have a slimmer form without offering up performance you need to do tasks for those games that need more than the usual resources.


Not to mention the OLED displays with 240Hz refresh rates that can take your abilities to look around a map or enemies without delay, something you've been wishing for a while now. Did I say it was also under 19.9 mm thin? Meanwhile, the XB323QX on the other hand can get you 5K display at 31.5 inches, and also utilizes NVIDIA G-Sync Pulsar tech and get you ample 144 Hz refresh rate when you need it that way. It will all be unveiled at CES 2025 which they are participating in for the nth time. There's certainly more where that came from plus Acer's ability to make it really nature friendly, and sustainable. There's a lot more information about that on their main website, so go give them a visit today at acer.com ! There is certainly no better time to get a gaming rig rather than now.
