The announcements are flowing at CES, with ACER unveiling their latest range of Swift and Aspire AI PCs running the latest Intel silicon and offering Copilot features.
Acer’s value focused Aspire range will see an update in 2026, with the latest Panther Lake (Core Ultra Series 3) chips inside thin and light designs including 180-degree hinges and of course AI tools.
The new Acer Swift AI Copilot+ PCs are aimed at the more performance oriented crowd, and include the Swift 16 AI, Swift Edge 14 AI, Swift Edge 16 AI, and the Swift Go 14 AI and Swift Go 16 AI featuring OLED display options, and of course Intel’s Core Ultra Series 3 processors.
Powered by the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, both Swift and Aspire series devices are Copilot+ compatible, giving you access to unlock features including Click to Do which Acer says enables ‘quick, context-aware actions based on what’s on your screen – whether it’s text or images – so tasks can be accomplished faster.
The new Acer Aspire 14 AI and Aspire 16 AI will launch with up to Intel Core Ultra Series 3 CPUs.
The systems will vary with locality, but will be configurable with up to 32 GB of memory and up to 2 TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage, with Intel Graphics on-board offering upscaled graphics performance – and a 65Wh battery on-board.
Acer says the laptops will offer options for OLED displays on both models with WUXGA resolution in 16:10 aspect ratio, supporting refresh rates up to 120 Hz.
The laptops will be relatively lightweight, with the Aspire 14 AI weighing in at 1.25Kg, while the Aspire 16 AI will clock in at 1.52Kg.
