Acer Inc., founded in Hsinchu in 1976, is one of the world’s top five PC brands. Acer designs laptops, desktops, monitors, and projectors — with their Swift, Predator, and ConceptD lines earning consistent acclaim for value-to-performance ratios that match or beat comparable Chinese-made devices.
Acer’s Predator gaming line competes directly with Lenovo Legion but without the Chinese state corporate governance structure that Lenovo operates under. Their Chromebooks are widely deployed in US school districts.
