The relaunch centers on a 'Tech it easy' tagline, emphasizing affordable, simple-to-use devices rather than premium or niche products. Acer confirmed the new Packard Bell products will only be sold in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, leaving out the US market where the brand originally built its reputation.
