Alpha 12

Design StoryAlpha 12 inherited the design language from Acer Aspire R 13. The U frame kickstand and small chamfer are nicely-crafted to create a nimble and elegant image. The top cover is made of aluminum and finished in elegant anodized hairline brush for giving eyes a great concerto, and silky tactile feedback. It is graceful, irreplaceable, and unforgettable.

RigidThe U frame Kickstand is rigid and sturdy enough to withstand the frequent folding and unfolding.

1st Fan-less Design Runs Core I Heat-driven coolant circulation.

As the gas moves away from the processor it cools and re-liquefies repeating the process.

Liquid in the sealed loop gasifies as it passes over and absorbs processor heat, producing circulating force.

COOL, QUIET AND MORE EFFICIENT

The innovative liquid-loop cooling system is the first fan-less design capable of supporting the most high-performance Intel Core i CPU to enable the device to run powerfully without overheating.The fan-less liquid-loop cooling features:• More sustainable thermal performance, which results

in the more sustainable system performance.• Quiet• No dust issue• The heat is released evenly throughout the rear cover

without exhausting annoying hot air like fans do.
