I always get asked what gadgets and tools do I use in order to create my content, from photos to articles to videos; I'll write a more comprehensive blog post or shoot a video one of these days.
But now, let's start with a laptop, which is one of the most essential gadgets in a content creator's career.
Acer is one of the popular affordable laptop brands around; what's great about the brand is aside from being known as a quality brand, they also have laptops to offer depending on your budget. Check out some of my neat recommendations.
P20,000 BUDGET: ACER ASPIRE SERIES
BEST FOR: Bloggers, Social Media Influencers (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram)
- Acer Aspire is the entry level laptop brand range of the brand. The Aspire series laptops start at P18,000, depending on the processor; the most affordable laptops have the Intel Celeron and Pentium processors and these are great for basic content creation activities such as writing, maintaining social media accounts, and light photography editing.
But if you have a little more to spare, get the Aspire series laptops that have the more recent processors namely Intel i3, i5, and i7 so you can finally edit videos and conduct live streaming; these start at P22,000.
P30,000 BUDGET: ACER SWIFT SERIES
BEST FOR: Hybrid Content Creators (Blogger/Influencer/Vlogger)
- Acer's Swift series laptops are the good mid- range laptops for content creators who equally create the same volume of photo, video, and web content. The Swift series laptops start at P39,000. If Acer is going to be my next laptop, I will probably go for this one because it suits my needs just right.
Most Swift series laptops come with Intel's latest processors already so you can do light to medium editing on photo and video (both canned and livestream), and definitely a lot of the writing and social media management tasks with ease.
P40,000 BUDGET: ACER NITRO SERIES
BEST FOR: Gamers, Livestreamers, Vloggers
- In the content creation community, a lot of vloggers are opting now for gaming laptops for durability. Full blown vloggers who do daily livestreaming and video editing require a sturdy laptop that can withstand long hours of use and smooth processing of heavy graphics and videos, and a lot have found that gaming laptops such as Acer's Nitro series laptops are perfect for such tasks and can withstand heavy usage better than normal consumer laptops. And if you are a gamer/gamer livestreamer, then the Nitro series is definitely perfect for you.
Nitro series laptops start at P49,000 and come with the latest processors already: these are Intel i3, i5, and i7 and also Ryzen 3, 5, 7, and up, which are the preferred, more popular processors in the gaming community.
P 60,000 BUDGET: ACER CONCEPT D SERIES
BEST FOR: Vloggers, Livestreamers, Photography- centric content creators, Artist type content creators
- Acer's Concept D series is one of the brand's most sophisticated and higher end laptop collection; I also think this is very much focused on video editors and vloggers. This innovative laptop + tablet hybrid brings productivity and creativity in one convenient device. Concept D series is prized for its stunning graphics and intuitive responsiveness so it's best for vloggers, photographers, and artist type content creators (illustrators, teachers, animators, calligraphy artists) who want to showcase their talents to their fans through editing, design, and art. And if you are a vlogger who does medium to heavy editing, Concept D will definitely suit your content creation needs.
Concept D series starts at P60,000 and runs on the latest Intel processors i5 and i7, which are the recommended processors for those who are into videography.
That's it! Do let me know which of these Acer laptops you will buy and use for content creation!
And before we end this post, I'm pleased to announce that Sarah Geronimo is the newest ambassador of Acer Philippines to kick off ACER DAY today and my Popster heart is very happy with the news!
