Acer ConceptD 5
The Acer ConceptD 5 15" RX Vega is a laptop with high-end performance hardware. It was designed as a mobile design station. Designed and tested specifically for creative workflows, NVIDIA GeForce / Quadro RTX™ Studio laptops can help design studios work faster. The sculptured aluminium chassis demonstrates a timeless design that is ideal for creators who need to work in various fashionable locations. There is also an attractive backlit amber keyboard designed for working in low light conditions. For creators and designers, colour accuracy is critical for design. The ConceptD 5 will do well in this area with its 4K UHD PANTONE Validated display. Users can get more space to work on thanks to the 15” or 17” display and ensure faithful colour reproduction with a 100% Adobe RGB colour gamut and a colour accuracy of Delta E <2. The Adobe RGB gamut covers a wider range of colours than an sRGB gamut. Users can easily edit images and complete the trickiest 2D graphic design projects in no time with the processing power of a 9th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL dedicated memory. Aside from that, users can achieve more with 16 GB of DDR4 memory, a 512GB responsive NVMe PCIe SSD in Raid 0 and up to a 2TB HDD.
A quiet environment is vital when focusing on an important piece of design. Users can work in peace with the optimized thermal system with a 4th Gen Aeroblade 3D Fan, which runs at under 40dBA. The ConceptD 5 will not disturb others even when the CPU is running at full capacity to complete a complex piece of work. To meet the demands of engineers, architects, videographers, cinematographers, 3D animators, AI professionals and many more, a hardware solution that has been tested and certified by Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) is demanded. ConceptD products, in specific model configurations, offer ISV certified hardware in combination with the most recent technologies. For connectivity, users can accomplish more with a full range of ports, including a USB Type-C Gen 1 supporting up to 5 Gbps data transfers, and charge offline with one of the USB 3.1 ports. They can also get online faster with Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650 (Gig+ Wi-Fi). In conclusion, the Acer ConceptD 5 15" RX Vega is a laptop designed for professionals who require a powerful device to work on the go. It has great graphics specifications to help creators and designers accomplish great stuff.

Archive.org versionAs the ConceptD 5 (CN515-51) is the least expensive ConceptD laptop, it excels in the display department. In fact, it has one of the nicest panels found on a laptop. Well, if you are not a gamer of course. What is more important for content creators and Web designers is the color accuracy, and the overall ability to display color, which this laptop does at a great level – it covers 100% of sRGB and 100% of Adobe RGB. Additionally, we have found that the embedded Adobe RGB preset from Acer outputs the most accurate image with a dE below 2.0.

Archive.org versionAs we said up top, the Acer ConceptD 5 is a great idea. Maybe having the word 'concept' in the name was a mistake, though, as this laptop indeed feels like a working idea rather than one that delivers in every regard.

Archive.org versionIt's early to draw conclusions on the ConceptD 5 Pro without exact details on pricing and a bigger picture of this mid-range workstation market that's developing right now, but this notebook seems to have what it needs to be a worthy option in its class. The screen, the specs, and the build are among its strongest assets, while on the other hand potential buyers have to make do with the rather small battery inside, lack of specific IO options and fairly high temperatures in taxing loads.

Archive.org versionIf a wide-gamut UHD screen and Quadro graphics are a must for you, then the Acer ConceptD 5 Pro 17 is worth a good look. It's priced competitively in comparison to other devices with similar specs and the good build quality, fast typing experience, and impeccable display are among its main selling points. At the same time, though, this is not as portable as other options, doesn't run significantly better or cooler, and doesn't offer the business features you'll find with some of the beefier alternatives either, so it might be a hard sell in its professional-targeted niche.

Archive.org versionThere are obvious, visible seams around the borders of this machine too, and the base edges are uncomfortably sharp. Build quality is inconsistent throughout, in fact. The base section is strong, but the lid is too easy to flex back and forth. A sleeve is advisable to keep this machine safe.

Acer leaves known paths with its ConceptD 5 CN515-51 to differentiate itself from the competition, with especially lightweight materials, Kaby Lake G with an integrated AMD GPU and a 4K UHD screen that covers a wider color gamut. At the same time, the Acer ConceptD CN515-51 is also cheaper than other multimedia laptops with a 15.6 inch screen. Unfortunately, the necessary cost cuts are showing up quite fast in this comprehensive review.

The Acer ConceptD 5 laptop (with i7-11800H + RTX 3060) is a great Creative laptop. It features a business-friendly industrial design, gaming-like graphics performance, and excellent display accuracy. You might find lighter workstations with similar specs, but the high-power GPU and the overall performance/price ratio of the ConceptD 5 make it a very compelling candidate for creative professionals. The superior battery life might be a factor for those who have to work on the go. If you’re a busy professional who wants to be able to work “on the go” but also have a powerful Creative laptop when at home, the ConceptD 5 can fulfill both roles, thanks to its peak performance and large battery capacity. 64GB of RAM and the RAID0 SSD option might set it apart from gaming laptops in the same price range as neither of these is crucial to gamers. A purposefully designed computer increases the value-proposition of the end-product.

The whole idea of a creator laptop is somewhat new. Up until a few years ago when Acer launched products like its ConceptD brand and others did the same, and when NVIDIA started pushing “Studio laptops”, you’d just buy a gaming laptop if you wanted something for editing video. After all, the internal hardware really isn’t different. You’re still getting that 45W CPU and dedicated graphics. The Acer ConceptD 5 does all of this. I realize that I can’t look at this as a complete picture because this is a pre-production unit, but speaking as someone who has reviewed ConceptD laptops and knows what to expect, along with seeing what’s new here like this beautiful display, the Acer ConceptD 5 is going to be pretty awesome.

I’m convinced the “D” in ConceptD 5 stands for “Damn, I’m daunting!” The Acer mobile workstation is packed with an eight-core, 16-thread 11th Gen Intel Core H-series CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 30-series GPU, a 3K Pantone-certified panel and a generous variety of ports. if I were a ConceptD 5 rival, I’d be shaking in my boots. However, the numbers don’t lie, and we’d have to test a ConceptD 5 production model to see if it deserves a seat at the “best content-creator laptop” throne. The only aspect of the ConceptD 5 I’m worried about is its thermals (and possibly the battery life); it got toasty performing lightweight processes, so I’m looking forward to the heat test results.
