Acer’s New Swift AI Laptops: Ultra-Light Power For Your Everyday

Acer introduced its new Swift Edge 14 AI and Swift Go AI series laptops, featuring Intel Core Ultra 200V Series processors and AI smarts (including Copilot+ certified PC). The ultralight Swift Edge 14 AI boasts a 3K OLED display with a unique matte finish. The Swift Go AI models emphasize productivity with enhanced touchpads.

Acer used the days leading up to the Computex 2025 event to announce its new laptops and desktop PCs. The company showed off its new Predator gaming machines and the Swift X 14/14 AI duo aimed at creatives. Acer also launched the new Swift Edge 14 AI and the Swift Go AI series, both packed with the latest Intel Core Ultra 200V Series processors and a healthy dose of AI capabilities. These laptops are designed to make your daily computing much smarter and smoother.

Swift Edge 14 AI: The ultra-light powerhouse

If portability is high on your list, the Acer Swift Edge 14 AI is definitely worth a look. It’s incredibly light, weighing in at just 0.99 kg (about 2.18 lbs.). However, don’t let the weight fool you; this laptop is built from a tough magnesium-aluminum alloy, making it durable for life on the go.

The Swift Edge 14 AI boasts a stunning 14-inch 3K OLED display with edge-to-edge glass. That means vibrant colors and deep blacks for everything from spreadsheets to your favorite streaming shows. And here’s a cool innovation: it’s the world’s first laptop to feature Corning Gorilla Matte Pro surface treatment. This special coating is designed to dramatically cut down on screen reflections, making it much easier to use outdoors or in brightly lit rooms. Plus, it actually helps improve contrast, making images look even better.

Under the hood, you’ll find up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 288V, along with an Intel Arc GPU. This combination delivers serious power for tasks like image processing, noise reduction, and generative AI. It even supports some gaming without aiming directly at this segment. You’ll even notice an AI Activity Indicator on the touchpad that lights up when the NPU (Neural Processing Unit) is active or when you hit the dedicated Copilot key. With up to 32 GB of memory, 1 TB of fast storage, and an impressive 21 hours of battery life, this laptop is ready to keep up with your busiest days.

Swift Go AI Series: Everyday performance with smart controls

If you’re looking for a blend of performance and practical features for daily use, the new Acer Swift Go 16 AI and Swift Go 14 AI might be just what you need. These thin-and-light laptops boast Intel Core Ultra 7 processors 258V. They also offer plenty of memory and storage for all your productivity, creative, and entertainment needs. They also promise solid battery life, with up to 16 hours of web browsing.

A standout feature on the Swift Go AI models is the improved Acer Multi-Control Touchpad. This isn’t just for navigation; it lets you control media playback, adjust volume, and even manage video calls directly from the touchpad itself. It’s a neat way to streamline your workflow without reaching for extra buttons. Plus, a new Acer MyKey feature allows you to open your favorite apps with a single click.

Both Swift Go laptops come with vibrant OLED displays: a 16-inch 2K OLED for the Swift Go 16 AI and a 14-inch OLED for the Swift Go 14 AI. These screens have VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 500 certification for excellent contrast and are Eyesafe 2.0 certified for reduced blue light. They’re designed to be versatile companions for students, families, and hybrid workers, easily fitting into any setting.

Smart Features and connectivity

Across Acer’s new Swift AI lineup, you’ll find some shared smart features. The 1080p Full HD IR webcams support a secure facial recognition login with Windows Hello. Acer’s User Sensing technology can even detect your presence, automatically locking the screen when you leave and waking it when you return. For crystal-clear video calls, Acer PurifiedVoice 2.0 and a triple microphone array work to minimize background noise. You’ll also find the latest connectivity options like Wi-Fi 7, HDMI 2.1, and USB Type-C ports, along with immersive DTS:X Ultra audio.
