Keep it Cool
To keep the notebook running cool and at optimum performance, V 17 Nitro Black Edition models include Acer DustDefender(1), a unique dust removal system that uses a high-speed fan with thin metal blades to remove dust build-up, improve heat dissipation and minimize noise.

By removing dust and maintaining a cool temperature, Acer DustDefender ensures performance is consistent, enhances user comfort and extends the notebook’s lifecycle. In addition, Acer includes its new CoolBoost technology app(1) that lets consumers make adjustments to the fans’ airflow. A Turbo Mode option delivers maximum fan speed and cooling power when heavy use requires an added boost.
