Being productive on the go has become more important than ever in a rampant work-from-home culture. When you consider it, the work-form-home culture could be loosely translated to work-from-anywhere culture too at this time. It is about being productive and getting your work done at any time, and anywhere you can find an internet connection. That is why notebook PCs have become increasingly popular in the current climate.
The problem with the current breed of notebook PCs is that they are a little fragile. Not to say that they do not come with stellar build quality. They do come with premium materials with build quality that you can hardly complain about. When we say fragile, we are saying that most of them will not be able to stand drops, they get scratched easily, they cannot handle water or spills, they do not work when they are out of your office or home.
That is why you need something tougher; you need something more robust; you need an Acer Enduro Urban N3. First of all, you cannot expect a notebook that can withstand the wrath of nature to be anywhere as light as the svelte, petite, and super-thin ultrabooks in the market. It weighs 1.85kg, and for good reason. Then again, 1.85kg is not exactly what you would call heavy either.
You get up to Intel’s latest 11th generation Core i7-1165G7 CPU to tackle whatever work you may need to complete quickly anywhere, anytime. With Intel’s Iris Xe Graphics, the Enduro Urban N3 should also be able to tackle simple video editing via Adobe Premiere Pro, or even Da Vinci Resolve. Both the processors are backed by up to 8GB in RAM and 512GB of SSD storage to keep everything running smoothly and quickly at the same time.
You also get a 14-inch Full HD IPS display for great looking images with highly accurate colours. While Acer does not mention its DCI-P3 or sRGB coverage rating, IPS displays are known for bright and vibrant colours on the display for great looking images and videos. At least Acer made sure that it displays at up to 450nits which should be bright enough to work with under the bright sunlight.
The notebook PC might sound like a plain laptop with nothing special going for it. If you look at it on paper, it does look quite regular. The internals are encased in a sort of a tank of a chassis. The chassis is a U.S. MIL-810H military standards. That also means that Enduro Urban N3 can withstand the regular drops and bumps from your desk. With IP53, it can also withstand more than a spill of a glass of coffee.
With that kind of build standards, the Acer Enduro Urban N3 sounds like it can withstand even nature itself. The rugged design of the notebook puts it at home even when you work with it at your favourite waterfall trail. Acer also claims that the battery in the Enduro Urban N3 can keep it alive for 13 hours on a single charge. That also means that you never have to worry about getting things done outdoors, as long as you can keep it charged before you get out of home or the office.
The Acer Enduro Urban N3 is available at all Acer’s official stores, authorised dealers, and official online stores including Shopee and Lazada nationwide. The device will be available in Denim Blue colour option only though. The device will set you back MYR 2,799 (Intel Core i3) onward all the way to MYR 3,699 (Intel Core i7).
