Ultra-Compact PC Unleashes Power with Core Ultra 7 265F and GeForce RTX 5070 Combo

The Predator ORION 3000 combines power and adaptability, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts looking to enjoy modern games with the option for future upgrades.

Acer’s recent showcase at Computex introduced the eye-catching Predator ORION 3000 desktop PC, now featuring NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070. This powerhouse boasts the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor with 20 cores, ensuring seamless performance during demanding tasks. With the RTX 5070, a 12 GB GPU from NVIDIA’s new Blackwell series, gamers can expect smooth play even with maximum settings.

The ORION 3000 is housed in a compact yet spacious chassis that not only accommodates its components comfortably but also showcases them through a large, tempered glass side panel. The front features striking RGB lighting effects with a prominent Predator logo, complemented by a mesh design for optimal airflow. The cooling system includes 120mm RGB fans at both ends, ensuring efficient heat management.

In terms of specs, it comes with 8 GB DDR5 memory, which can be upgraded to either 16 GB or 32 GB. Standard storage is a 2 TB NVMe PCI-E 4.0 SSD, with an option for an additional 2 TB hard drive. The motherboard seems to be a custom design tailored to fit the chassis. Connectivity includes a variety of ports: four USB 2.0, two USB 3.2, one LAN port, and three audio jacks. A Type C Gen 2×2 port is accessible from the front panel alongside two more USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type A ports. It supports either WiFi 6E or WiFi 7 for wireless connections, although there’s no mention of Bluetooth.

The system is powered by a robust 850W power supply, assumed to be at least 80 Plus rated, providing ample power for current and future upgrades. Expansion opportunities include PCI-E 3.0 x1, two M.2 slots for SSD, and one M.2 slot for WLAN.

Priced at €1,099 for the base model with 8 GB DDR5 RAM and a 2 TB M.2 SSD, the Predator ORION 3000 will launch in July across the EMEA region and in Q3 for Australia at AUD 4,499. Its design and specs make it a compelling choice for anyone looking to invest in a future-ready gaming rig.
