Acer Recalls Predator PC Due to Overheat Issue
For those users who own Predator PC, you may be interested on the recall news released by Acer America Corp. Just recently, the PC manufacturer has just announced the plan to recall its Predator gaming PC after two incidents of computers overheating being reported in the market. The recall involves both the ASG7200 and ASG7700 models which are quite famous as high end computer gaming machines and have been sold at a price between $2000 and $6000.
