Housed in a 45L chassis made with 65% PCR plastic, the desktop features an EMI-compliant tempered glass side panel and customisable ARGB lighting, giving users both performance and style in one setup.

Our Take
Acer Malaysia has assembled a coherent gaming lineup that addresses different segments without overlapping too much. The Helios Neo 16 fills the sweet spot for gamers who want RTX 5070 performance without stretching to premium pricing, and the RTX 5050 variant at RM7,299 makes it accessible for entry-level enthusiasts. The 180Hz display with 3ms response time strikes the right balance between competitive performance and immersive content.
The Orion 5000 desktop is clearly positioned for users who have graduated from laptops or want upgradeability headroom. The 65% PCR plastic chassis is a nice touch for environmentally conscious buyers, and the CycloneX 360 cooling system should handle the RTX 5070 without thermal throttling. Wi-Fi 7 support future-proofs the connectivity even if most users are still on Wi-Fi 6.
The XB273U X2 monitor hits the sweet spot for competitive gaming with its 210Hz overclock and 0.5ms response time at the RM799 price point. The QHD resolution is the right call — 4K at this refresh rate would require more GPU power than most players have access to, and QHD remains the practical sweet spot for competitive titles.
Most interesting is the Nitro PG241Y P1 as Malaysia first portable gaming monitor. The 144Hz USB-C single-cable design addresses real use cases: presenters who need a second screen, console gamers who travel, or professionals who want a larger display on the go. At RM649 with a built-in kickstand, it fills a niche that larger monitor brands often overlook.
