GAME ON!
With recorded highest sales ever achieved, Acer’s gaming desktop 2nd generation PREDATOR-G5 was designed with costs and manufacturing aspects in mind. Although aesthetically aggressive and complex, it’s engineering and material selection were carefully crafted to significantly reduce the BOM cost from the 1st generation Predator Desktop.
The organic colored venting slits were designed to wrap the front and upper bezels as a way to communicate a properly cooled powerhouse. As an alternative to paint, orange metallized special effects plastic resin was used as way to simplify the manufacturing process while reducing BOM costs.
FORM MEETS FUNCTION
Driven by consumer research , drives, buttons , card readers , IO ports and cable management were strategically placed in optimized areas without compromising the PREDATOR brand design language or performance.
