Taiwan’s Acer and Germany’s Porsche Design have entered a new partnership – that fuses Porsche Design’s functional design philosophy and engineering mindset with Acer’s technological innovations – resulting into the development of Porsche Design Acer Book RS with a compact all-metal chassis. Weighing just 1.2 kg, the notebook is powered by the latest 11th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and the NVIDIA GeForce MX350 GPU2.
Topping off the chassis is a carbon fiber cover, a distinctive touch derived from decades of motorsports designs that value carbon fiber for its lightweight strength and extreme performance. Porsche Design Acer Book RS was co-engineered with Intel and includes Intel Evo platform verified models to meet key experience targets for consistent responsiveness on battery, instant wake, real-world battery life and fast charge, making it an exceptional laptop for getting things done.
Jerry Kao, Co-COO of Acer, said, “The fruit of an exciting partnership between Acer and Porsche Design, the Porsche Design Acer Book RS, is a perfect blend of style and performance for urban mobile professionals. It brings together Acer’s expertise in technology and Porsche Design’s design prowess, resulting in a refined product that not only has timeless aesthetics, but also exceptional performance under the hood”.

We’re delighted to kick-off this partnership with the new Porsche Design Acer Book RS that embodies the DNA of our brand to the core and sets new standards in performance and design”.
Iconic Design
Following Porsche Design’s design philosophy of optimizing function, the Porsche Design Acer Book RS is a statement in refined computing in which every feature serves a purpose. A 3k carbon fiber cover stands out against the device’s diamond-cut CNC-machined chassis, a contrast that provides a bold flair of character while also allowing for incredible portability; the entire unitis just 1.25 kg (2.76 lbs) light and 15.99 mm (0.63 in) thin. The two covers are connected by a unibody hinge that slightly elevates the keyboard upon opening the notebook, improving cooling and creating a more ergonomic typing experience. Backlit keys provide convenient typ-ing, even at night, and the glass precision touchpad provides multi-gesture support for a more intuitive multitasking experience.
Immersive Performance
Beneath its exterior, the Porsche Design Acer Book RS is equipped with up to the latest 11th Gen Intel Core i7 processors with Intel Iris Xe graphics and optional dis-crete NVIDIA GeForce MX350 GPUs and 16 GB of RAM to ensure it is capable of seamlessly cruising through anything that comes up in a day’s work. It features a 14-inch FHD IPS touchscreen that is covered with a layer of Antimicrobial Corning Gorilla Glass, covers 100 percent of the sRGB color gamutand is accentuated by ultra-narrow bezels that allow for an immersive 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. Dual copper heat pipes ensure the device remains cool and the impressive battery lasts 17 hours , while also capable of generating 4 hours of usage with a 30-minute fast charge in a pinch. Dual-band Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+), a full array of ports (USB-C, Thunderbolt 4 and USB3.2 Gen 2) and smart features, such as more secure finger-print loginsvia Windows Hello, Modern Standby & Wake on Voice further refine the user experience.
Sophisticated Accessories
Compartmentalized and multi-functional by nature, the Porsche Design Acer Travel-pack RS (mousepad, mouse, carrying pouch and notebook sleeve) is an ideal companion to accompany the Porsche Design Acer Book RS. The travel pouch is made from ECCO PALERMO XA Leather, a durable material that is pleasant to the touch and glistens with a subtle shine. Magnetic clasps connect the pouch to a note-book sleeve that has been fashioned from 1680D fabric, is water repellant and perfect for protecting the notebook from the scratches and wear-and-tear inherent to an on-the-go lifestyle. In the spirit of efficiency, the notebook sleeve’s detachable lid has been designed to double as a mousepad.
