Acer Computer (M.E.) Ltd., one of the world’s top branded PC vendors, has today announced that to coincide with GITEX 2006, the new, compact Veriton 1000 desktop will be made available at exclusive prices – only available during the week of GITEX and GITEX Computer Shopper 2006.

“We are confident that the Veriton 1000’s sleek compact size, energy saving attributes large storage space and processing speeds will translate into the model becoming a massive success across small to large businesses,” said Philip Askhar, Director of Sales and Marketing, Acer Computer (Middle East) Ltd.

With eight USB ports, notebook adaptor, and built in Intel® vPro™ technology that allows IT staff to perform critical support and maintenance from a remote location, the Veriton 1000 CPU is actually 90 percent smaller and 75 percent lighter than the typical ‘tower’ desktops.

As well as drastically reducing the amount of space needed in the office or workplace, it also boasts up to 40 percent greater processing power than previous generation CPUs while using up to 40 percent less energy.

With ample storage space (3Gb/s hard disk) and marked increases in retrieval speeds, the Veriton 1000 destroys the commonly held understanding that speedy performance is hampered or bottlenecks with a compact or mini-PC.

“Our ongoing commitment to passing on innovative and quality technology to the customer at affordable prices is one of many reasons for offering yet another great deal this GITEX and the Veriton 1000 deal is yet another example of this,” concluded Ashkar.

GITEX Computer Shopper is the largest and most popular IT consumer event in the Middle East, and will be held from 18-24 November 2006 at the Airport Expo, Dubai.
