Acer — Smart Innovation, Real Value

Founded in 1976 in Taiwan by Stan Shih, his wife Carolyn Yeh, and a small team, Acer started life under the name Multitech. From humble beginnings distributing electronic parts and developing microprocessor-training kits, the company quickly grew into a global force in computing and hardware

In 1987, the Multitech name was changed to Acer — a name meaning “sharp” in Latin, reflecting both precision and ambition. Since then, Acer has expanded its product range and its reputation: from laptops to monitors, from gaming rigs under the Predator brand to sleek ultraportables, all while pushing into sustainable design and improving service in Europe and Ireland.

What Makes Acer Stand Out

Performance vs Price
Acer is known for striking a strong balance — delivering solid specs without inflating cost. Whether it’s an entry-level notebook or a high-end gaming beast, Acer separates itself by providing real value.

Variety of Product Ranges

• Aspire series — everyday laptops and ultrabooks for students, home, and office work.

• Swift and Swift Go lines — lightweight, premium designs for on-the-go users.

• Nitro and Predator — aimed at gamers who demand speed, refresh rates, and graphics performance.

• ConceptD — for creators, designers, video editors: colour-accurate displays, powerful GPUs, features made for creative workflows.

Global Presence + Local Support.

Acer is truly international, but also increasingly local. In Ireland, Acer has strengthened its after-sales and repair support thanks to partnerships like MBT Ireland, reducing turnaround times and improving service for businesses, schools, and regular customers.

Innovation & Sustainability.
Recent Acer laptops include advances like SSD storage, high refresh-rate displays, better battery efficiencies, AI-enhanced features and materials with recycled content. The brand is also moving toward greener operations globally.
