On Friday, just ahead of Computex, PC maker Acer let loose with a slew of announcements about new and upcoming AI-powered laptops, desktops, earbuds, and smart rings.
Acer showed off a slim Predator Triton 14 AI gaming laptop with an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU. It's got what Acer called the industry's first laptop with graphene thermal interface materials (TIM) in the CPU to help keep it cool. A similarly appointed laptop, the Predator Helios Neo 14 AI is also available, along with a Predator Orion 3000 gaming desktop that houses a INtel Core Ultra 7 processor and the same GPU as the two laptops.
The Triton 14 AI will arrive in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) in July and start at WUR 2,999. The Heloos will start at EUR 1,699, while the Orion 3000 will come in at EUR1,099 and end up in Australia in Q3 at AUD 4,499.
The more affordable Swift lineup includes the Swift X AAI and Swift X 14 AI Creator laptops, both powered with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU for solid AI and graphic performance. The Swift 14 AI is a Copilot PC running the AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processor, while the Swift X 14 includes Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2). Both have 3K OLED displays and haptic touchpads.
Both Swift AI laptops will be available in EMEA in July, starting at EUR 1,799.
On the thin, light side, Acer showed off the Swift Edge and Swift Go AI Copilot+ laptops, with the latter boasting a magnesium-aluminum chassis that comes in at .99 kilograms and promises 21 hours of battery life. The latter comes in two sizes, a 14-inch and a 16-inch laptop, and gets 16 hours of working battery. All three Swift laptops run an Intel Core Ultra 200V series processor and are "eligible to receive updates to Copilot+ PO experiences."
The Edge will arrive in EMEA in June, starting at EUR 1,599 and in Australia in Q2 for AUD 3,999. The Swift Go 16 AI will start at EUR 1,200 (AUD 1,999 in Q3), while the 14-inch version will start at EUR 1,199/AUD 1,799.
Aspire AI Copilot+ laptops are also on display here, with the Aspire 14 AI and Aspire 16 AI promising either Intel Core Ultra or AMD Ryzen processors and Intel Arc graphics.
The company also announced Predator and Nitro Gaming and Smart Monitors, including the Predator X27U F5, with an ultra-fast 500 Hz refresh rate and the Predator X27 X, with 4K resolution. Both support AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro technology. In addition, the company revealed an Acer Nitro GA321QK P and Nitro GA341CUR W0 Google TV smart monitors and a 4K portable monitor with a kickstand, the Acer Nitro PG271K.
AI-Powered Wearables, E-Scooters, and E-Bikes
Acer is also taking a plunge into the smart wearables market with the Acer FreeSense ring that promises 24/7 biometric tracking and "AI-driven wellness insights." In addition, they've announced the Acer AI Transbuds, which the company says can do real-time, two-way voice translation for 15 major languages, even if only one person is wearing them.
Acer is also showcasing its latest e-scooters and e-bikes, built for both urban commuting and outdoor use. The lineup includes the Acer eScooter Series 4 Select, Series 5 Select, Predator ES Storm, and Predator ES Thunder—each featuring 400W to 500W motors, as well as adaptive braking and suspension systems. Riders can track performance and manage security settings through the Acer eMobility App.
Also on display is the Predator eRanger, a fat-tire e-bike first unveiled at the 2025 Taipei Cycle Show, highlighting Acer's push into smarter, more versatile mobility solutions.
No pricing for wearables or e-mobility devices has been announced by Acer at this time.
