The Acer Predator Orion 3000 is compact, robust and reasonably quick, but rivals are faster and offer more features for similar prices
The Acer Predator Orion 3000 is a new big-brand gaming desktop, and it’s always easy to look at these machines cynically – too often, machines from big companies are expensive and underpowered when compared to rivals from local experts.
The Predator – PO3-620 in this case for the model name – arrives with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 inside and an Intel 10th-gen CPU for UK buyers, and on this side of the Atlantic, it costs £1,299. If you’re buying in the US, the machine costs $1,299 and upgrades to an RTX 2060 Super graphics card.
Design & Build
The Acer Predator Orion 3000 has a decent external design. The front panel has a good-looking slate of tempered glass with an RGB LED fan, two streaks of matching light and vertical slabs of mesh. It looks just as good as the systems from boutique builders. The triangular power button has RGB LEDs too, and a replacement side panel with tempered glass is included in the box.
The impressive aesthetic is bolstered by good build quality – the side panels, front panels and roof are strong. There’s a handle on top, and the rig is just 392mm tall and 175mm wide. That’s small by gaming desktop standards and it means that this PC is easy to carry to LAN parties and friends’ houses.
