New Swift series laptops
Acer Swift Blade 14
The Acer Swift Blade 14 is the more portable of the two new variants, weighing just 799g and measuring as thin as 12.9mm. Acer targets users who want an extremely lightweight laptop for work and creative tasks without sacrificing performance. It packs up to an Intel Core 7 350 processor, 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 1TB of storage, while Acer offers a 3K OLED display option with up to 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage.
Despite its compact size, the Swift Blade 14 packs a 50Wh battery and three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C ports. It also gets a Full HD webcam with a physical camera switch and uses a magnesium-aluminium and carbon fibre chassis. It comes in Marshmallow Blue and Marshmallow White, and the laptop will launch in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) in December 2026. There’s no word yet if this model will come to India.

Acer Swift Air 16
The Swift Air 16 takes a slightly different approach, with a larger 16-inch display while keeping the laptop relatively thin at 13.3mm and light at 1.5kg. It comes with up to an Intel Core 7 350 processor, 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 512GB of upgradable storage. Acer offers both OLED and IPS display options, with the OLED version covering 100 percent DCI-P3 and the IPS panel covering 100 percent sRGB. The display can also go up to a 2880 × 1800 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and 500 nits brightness.
The laptop has a 70Wh battery with 100W fast charging, which Acer says can reach 50 percent in 30 minutes. Other features include a backlit keyboard, quad speakers with DTS Virtual:X and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. It comes in Elemental Blue, Sage Green and Sandstone Gold. The Swift Air 16 will arrive in EMEA in December 2026 and North America in Q1 2027.
Acer Vero 16
The Acer Vero 16 is a premium 16-inch laptop powered by up to an Intel Core Ultra X9 388H processor with up to 180 platform TOPS. It comes with up to 32GB of LPDDR5x memory and 512GB of SSD storage, while the display can be configured with a 3K OLED panel. It also packs a 71Wh battery, a 5MP IR webcam with a privacy shutter, Wi-Fi 7, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI 2.1 and an SD card reader. As a Copilot+ PC, it also supports Microsoft’s on-device AI features alongside Acer’s own AI tools.
What makes the Vero 16 more interesting, however, is how Acer has approached its design. The laptop has a tool-free access latch for the bottom cover, with a replaceable battery and SSD, while the hinge and I/O port covers can also be removed more easily for repairs. Acer says it has designed the laptop to support processor upgrades for at least two generations. The chassis also uses recycled and low-carbon aluminium, while the bottom cover and display bezels use recycled plastic.
This approach could become more relevant as laptop memory and storage prices rise and users look to keep their machines for longer. A laptop that allows key components to be replaced or upgraded could offer a more practical way of extending its usable life, rather than forcing users to replace the entire machine when their storage or other components become limiting. It is an interesting direction for Acer, particularly at a time when the cost of upgrading or buying new hardware is becoming a bigger consideration for consumers.
Aspire AIOs
Acer has also refreshed its Aspire S series all-in-one desktops, with the Aspire S 27 and smaller Aspire S 24 for families looking for a simple home computer. Both models now feature up to an Intel Core 7 350 processor, 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 1TB of M.2 SSD storage, while running Windows 11. Acer has also added an optional touchscreen with stylus support, giving users another way to interact with the system.
The Aspire S 27 comes with either a QHD 120Hz display or an FHD 144Hz panel, while the Aspire S 24 gets the FHD 144Hz option. Both have narrow bezels and a 90 percent screen-to-body ratio, along with an FHD webcam with a privacy shutter, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. The Aspire S series will be available in EMEA in Q4 2026.
Acer Veriton RI110 AI Mini Workstation
The Acer Veriton RI110 is a compact desktop aimed at businesses and professionals working with AI, content creation and other demanding applications. It is powered by an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor and Intel Arc B390 graphics, with up to 96GB of LPDDR5X memory and 4TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage. Acer says the system can support AI models with up to 120 billion parameters, while Windows 11 Pro and Copilot+ PC features add on-device AI capabilities for everyday productivity.
The mini workstation also supports hybrid AI workflows, allowing users to run AI agents locally in an isolated sandbox. Acer’s new Qubi Claw agent can automate tasks such as online research, travel planning and audio transcription while keeping the workflows local. The Veriton RI110 also gets OCuLink connectivity, which allows users to connect an external GPU or high-speed NVMe storage over a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface with up to 64Gbps bandwidth. Other features include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and fingerprint authentication. The workstation will be available in North America in Q4 2026 and EMEA in Q1 2027.
Acer ProDesigner monitor
The Acer ProDesigner PE270X P is for professional creatives such as designers, photographers and video editors. It features a 27-inch 5K display with a 5120 × 2880 resolution and factory calibration with a Delta E<1 rating. The monitor also covers 99 percent of the Adobe RGB, sRGB and DCI-P3 colour spaces, while a 2,304-zone Mini LED backlight and VESA DisplayHDR 1400 certification provide stronger contrast and HDR performance.
Acer also gives the monitor a 165Hz refresh rate with Dynamic Frame Rate (DFR), which can switch to QHD at up to 330Hz for faster workloads and gaming. Other features include USB Type-C with 90W power delivery, Auto KVM and an adjustable ErgoStand. It also supports AMD FreeSync Premium for smoother gameplay.
