Acer has announced the addition of its antimicrobial product portfolio to include numerous product lines aimed at both consumers and businesses. Antimicrobial devices are now available to a far larger spectrum of users, from TravelMate laptops for office workers to Enduro Urban devices for outdoor enthusiasts, as well as a slew of accessories including a Works With Chromebook approved keyboard and mouse combination.
The Acer TravelMate Spin P4 (TMP414RNA-51) is a business-grade convertible laptop with Acer’s Antimicrobial 360 Design, which covers high-touch surfaces like the chassis, keyboard, and touchpad with a silver ion antimicrobial agent. Silver ions are extremely reactive particles that drastically slow the growth of bacteria when they come into touch with them. The laptop also has a strong 11th Gen Intel® CoreTM i7 vPro processor, which is more than enough to operate many apps, webpages, and spreadsheets at the same time, as well as up to 1 TB of M. 2 Solid-state storage (SSD) provides ample space for all of a user’s files and assets.The tablet has a spill-resistant keyboard, which provides piece of mind during coffee-fueled crunch times, and its shock-absorbing corners have been independently tested to satisfy MIL-STD 810H impact resistance standards.
The laptop’s scratch-resistant 14-inch FHD (1920×1080) Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla® Glass display supports touch and can be rotated 360 degrees into laptop, stand, tent, or tablet modes, making it easy to share content or take notes, and it’s the perfect size for those working on the go at just 1.53 kg (3.37 lbs) light and 17.9 mm (0.7 in) thin. The laptop has a battery life of up to 13.5 hours and can be fast-charged[] to 80 percent in just an hour, giving customers all-day reliability.
The laptop also has numerous USB Type-C and Thunderbolt 4 connections, as well as an RJ45 ethernet connector, optional LTE support (eSIM& DSSA), a smart card reader, and multiple USB Type-C and Thunderbolt 4 ports. It also has the security features that a corporate PC should have, like as Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0, fingerprint authentication, and Windows Hello.
The Acer Enduro Urban N3 (EUN314A-51W(G)) is a tough 14-inch laptop built for the outdoors. The gadget has been certified with military-grade (MIL-STD 810H) durability and industrial-grade (IP53) dust and water resistance, allowing it to hold its own in a wide range of conditions. It is just 1.85 kg (4.08 lbs) light and 21.95 mm (0.86 in) thin. The device’s four reinforced corners enable it survive drops (up to 4 ft/122 cm), while the waterproof design of its I/O ports, speakers, and buttons, as well as a unique drainage system and Acer’s water-proof AquafanTM, allow users to go wherever they want without worrying about the weather.With Acer’s Antimicrobial 360 Design and Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla® Glass, this generation of the Enduro Urban N3 takes protection one step further, keeping the screen clean when out and about. The rest of the device is coated in an antibacterial ionic silver coating that extends to the chassis, touchpad, buttons, and other areas. Of course, up to an 11th Gen Intel® CoreTM i7 processor, NVIDIA® GeForce® MX330 GPU, and 32 GB of DDR4 memory provide ample power for any workload, while 13 hours of battery life and an FHD display with 450 nits of brightness allow users to work wherever they want.
The Acer Enduro Urban T3 (EUT310A-11A) is a tough 10-inch tablet that’s ideal for families that like to study and explore, whether on a camping trip or in the living room. The tablet’s four corner bumpers helped it get MIL-STD-810H certification, which includes surviving 26 drops from 122 cm (4 ft), while waterproofed I/O doors, speakers, and buttons helped it achieve IP53 dust and water resistance. Acer’s Antimicrobial 360 Design has been included to the tablet, which includes antimicrobial solutions on practically all of the tablet’s touchable surfaces, including the screen, cover, frame, bumpers, and buttons. As a result, the Enduro Urban T3 is capable of handling whatever comes up in a day — all at an impressive 9.92 mm (0.39 in) thin and 595 g (1.31 lbs) light.
The antibacterial tablet has a Full HD (1920×1200) display with 10-point touch and 600 nits of brightness for a clear and intuitive experience even when outside. A front 5 MP wide-angle camera sits above the screen, and the Enduro Urban T3 is perfect for video calls and remote learning thanks to the addition of a microphone with AI noise reduction and dual-band WiFi. Finally, a MediaTek octa-core processor and 4 GB of RAM provide sufficient processing capacity to ensure a seamless experience for users.

It also has a number of green certifications, including ENERGY STAR®, TCO, and EPEAT, which attest to the LED backlight’s power-saving design and responsible material management throughout manufacturing.Finally, Acer ComfyView decreases glare and ambient light for a more comfortable viewing experience, while Acer BlueLightShield reduces the emission of potentially hazardous blue light.
Some of Acer’s Works With Chromebook certified accessories, which have been tested and authorised to fulfil Google’s compatibility standards, now feature antimicrobial properties. They are certified to function seamlessly with Chromebooks and contain firmware that can be updated, giving users compatibility with today’s and tomorrow’s peripherals.
The Acer Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse KM501 is a certified keyboard and mouse combination for Chromebooks. The Acer Antimicrobial 360 Design contains an antimicrobial silver-ion solution on the majority of the keyboard’s surfaces, as well as a customised layout meant to match all of Chrome OS‘s capabilities. Furthermore, the keyboard and mouse are extremely energy efficient, lasting up to a year before requiring a battery change.
The Acer Bluetooth Mouse B501 is a 1,000 DPI mouse with the Acer Antimicrobial 360 Design, which has an antimicrobial silver-ion solution on the majority of its surfaces, as well as an ambidextrous design that allows it to be used comfortably by both right- and left-handed users. It can be purchased as part of the KM501 combo package or as a stand-alone item.
Acer’s eco-shell protective jacket is a new travel necessity that is breathable but water-resistant and contains a transparent PET hoodie cover that, when inserted, helps keep aerosol droplets away from the wearer’s face. It has two front pockets that are large enough to carry a smartphone or passport comfortably, and the jacket has a comfy leather-like texture that is soft to the touch. The inside of the jacket is lined with silver fabric, which is created from silver-coated yarn with antibacterial properties.
The eco-shell jacket is created partially (26%) from leftover coffee grounds extracts, making it more than just a piece of clothing. This fabric was made by extracting coffee oil from used coffee grounds, converting it to a coffee oil polyol, and then synthesising the polyol into a PU film.
