The ConceptD 7 is part of Acer’s series of laptops and desktop aimed at designers and creatives. It’s a 15.6-inch laptop with a 4K screen that has lovely thin bezels. But how good is it, considering that many similarly targeted devices such as Microsoft’s Surface Book 2 or Lenovo’s ThinkPad P1 are available?

Inside it’s fitted with an Intel Core i7-9750H, Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q with 32GB of memory and a 1TB PCIe solid-state drive (SSD). It’s a great laptop specification in anyone’s books. The Intel Core i7-9750H is a six-core processor, running at 2.6GHz with a 4.5GHz Turbo Frequency.
