Acer announces 5th generation Intel Core processor support and more to several of their PCs



Acer has announced they are expanding support for 5th generation Intel Core processors to several of their PCs including the Aspire R 13, Aspire S7, and Aspire Switch 12. 5th generation Intel Core processors bring improved performance, graphics and battery life over previous generation Intel Core processors. Acer is also bringing 802.11ac wireless to these PCs as well – which is up to 3 times faster than 802.11n. With 802.11ac you get increased network speed, range, and reliability.
