Acer Unveils Ryzen Powered Aspire GX-281 Desktops

Acer’s Aspire Desktops Go Team Red

The choice between Intel and AMD used to be a lot more one sided until Team Red released their Ryzen processors a few months back and brands have taken notice. Today, Acer launched their new Aspire desktop PCs that bleed red with an AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 processor and to make sure you get the smooth frame rates while you game, they’ve paired it up with a Radeon RX 580.

GX-281 Ryzen 7

  • 3.4GHz AMD Ryzen 1700X
  • 16GB of GDDR4 RAM
  • 256GB SSD storage
  • 1TB HDD storage
  • AMD Radeon RX 580 GPU

GX-281 Ryzen 5

  • 3.2GHz AMD Ryzen 1600
  • 8GB of GDDR4 RAM
  • 256GB SSD storage
  • 1TB HDD storage
  • AMD Radeon RX 580

The Ryzen 1700x is, of course, one of the best processors for both productivity and gaming, featuring 8-cores and 16 threads with room for overclocking if you want to give your system a little boost. It’s little brother, the Ryzen 1600 is no slouch either. The Ryzen 1600 has 6 cores and 12-threads, which can put in some serious work as well.

Acer is also bundling the new desktops with a copy of Windows 10 and a monitor.

If you plan on getting the Ryzen 7 variant of the GX-281, you’re getting a 24.5-inch gaming monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate and equipped with FreeSync. The Ryzen 5 variant gets a 23.5-inch monitor with a 75Hz refresh rate, which still has FreeSync enabled. Not too shabby.

The GX-281 Ryzen 5 variant is priced at Php 74,999 with the Ryzen 7 variant getting a heftier Php 96,499 price tag.
