Syntech and Acer Expand Distribution Partnership to Bring Acer Nitro Gaming Laptops to South Africa

Syntech Distribution and Acer are pleased to announce the expansion of our distribution partnership, extending Syntech’s Acer portfolio beyond Chromebooks to now include the Acer Nitro gaming laptop range.

Having previously partnered with Acer on Chromebook distribution, Syntech and Acer are now expanding their relationship to include the Acer Nitro gaming laptop range. Through this extended partnership, Syntech’s reseller network will gain access to Acer Nitro Gaming laptops, helping broaden the availability of Acer’s gaming-focused notebook portfolio across South Africa.

Acer Nitro laptops deliver an accessible entry point into mid to high range PC gaming while also supporting demanding day-to-day workloads. With configurations across the range offering dedicated graphics, high-refresh displays, current generation of processors, and cooling-focused designs, Acer Nitro laptops deliver an accessible entry point into PC gaming while also supporting demanding day-to-day workloads.

The expanded partnership strengthens Acer’s channel reach through Syntech’s established reseller relationships and proven expertise in the South African technology and gaming market. For Syntech, the addition of the Acer Nitro range reflects continued investment in Acer as a quality brand and trusted name in computing.

“Syntech has been a valued distribution partner for Acer, and we are excited to build on the success of our Chromebook partnership by extending the relationship into gaming laptops,” says Glenn Du Toit, Country Manager: Director Acer Africa. “The Acer Nitro range is an important part of our gaming portfolio, and Syntech’s channel strength and gaming market expertise make them a strong partner to help grow Nitro in South Africa.”

Syntech’s position in the gaming space, strengthened through PCBuilder and its wider reseller network, provides a solid foundation for the launch of Acer Nitro laptops. With strong reseller trust, hands-on category knowledge, and a clear understanding of the gaming hardware market, Syntech is well placed to support Acer Nitro’s growth through product education, marketing activity, and channel enablement.

“We are proud to expand our Acer partnership and bring the Acer Nitro range into our portfolio,” says Ryan Martyn, Co-founder and Sales & Marketing Director for Syntech. “Acer is a globally trusted brand with a strong reputation for quality, and Nitro is a natural fit for Syntech’s gaming-focused growth strategy. By combining Acer’s product strength with Syntech’s reseller relationships and expertise in the gaming space, we believe this partnership will create exciting opportunities for the channel.”

The Acer Nitro range is available to Syntech reseller partners from 1^st June 2026.
