of multimedia files. Acer’s Build Your Own Cloud (BYOC) is also included, so users can use the
storage capacity on their notebook as their own personal cloud storage device, for ultimate

To keep the notebook running cool and at optimum performance, V 17 Nitro Black Edition
models include Acer DustDefender (1) , a unique dust removal system that uses a high-speed fan
with thin metal blades to remove dust build-up, improve heat dissipation and minimize noise.
The fan blades utilize an ingenious dust propelling mechanism at an extremely high speed to
vastly improve air flow around high-performance components. By removing dust and
maintaining a cool temperature, Acer DustDefender ensures performance is consistent,
enhances user comfort and extends the notebook’s lifecycle. In addition, Acer includes its new
CoolBoost technology app (1) that lets consumers make adjustments to the fans’ airflow. A Turbo Mode option delivers maximum fan speed and cooling power when heavy use requires an added boost.
The Ultimate Entertainment Experience
Top of the line entertainment features make the V Nitro Black Edition notebooks the ideal
home entertainment system for gaming and watching the latest movies. Full high-definition
displays with IPS technology provide brilliant, crisp visuals and wide viewing angles, while Acer
Comfy View, a non-glare display, helps reduces eye fatigue. Four built-in speakers (8W total
output) combine with Dolby Digital Plus Home Theater™ for powerful surround sound for
gaming, movies and music. Various models in the V 17 line include either a Blu-ray Disc drive
for a crystal clear movie experience or an 8X DVD Super Multi Double Layer Drive that is M-
DISC (4) enabled and can be used to save medical records, photos, video and data for up to
1,000 years. M-DISC™ is resistant to extreme conditions of light, temperature, humidity and
more. It cannot be overwritten, erased or corrupted by natural processes.
