Computex 2025 is in full swing, and this year, Acer has made a massive impact with its latest lineup of AI-powered laptops. From sleek ultraportables to powerful creator machines, Acer’s new range caters to every type of user. I had the opportunity to explore their booth, thanks to Acer’s invitation, and I’m excited to walk you through the most exciting devices they announced.
Let’s dive in.
The Acer Aspire 14 AI: Affordable, Versatile, and Ready for AI
The Acer Aspire 14 AI is the perfect entry point for users who want a reliable, AI-ready laptop without breaking the bank. This model stands out for its flexibility—you can choose between a traditional IPS touchscreen or an upgraded OLED display for deeper contrast and vibrant colors. Despite being affordable, the Aspire 14 AI features a premium metal chassis, giving it a durable yet lightweight feel.
One of the highlights here is the abundance of ports, including two Thunderbolt 4 ports—a rare find in budget-friendly laptops. If you prefer a larger screen, Acer also offers a 16-inch version, both powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra series processors, ensuring you’re ready for AI-driven workflows and enhanced performance.
The Acer Swift Go 14 AI: A Step Up with Premium Features
For those looking for more advanced features, the Acer Swift Go 14 AI (also available in a 16-inch version) is an attractive option. It builds upon the Aspire’s foundation, offering more premium touches like a standard OLED display and a sleeker design. The Swift Go lineup is a great middle ground for users who want a bit more power and style without jumping into the ultra-premium category.
Like the Aspire, the Swift Go integrates Copilot+ AI features baked into Windows, enabling advanced AI functionality across tasks. Whether you’re summarizing documents, generating creative content, or managing complex data, these AI tools are now at your fingertips.
The Eco-Friendly Acer Aspire Vero 16: Sustainability Meets Productivity
Acer continues to lead in eco-friendly design with the Aspire Vero 16 AI. This laptop features recycled materials in its chassis and an OceanGlass touchpad made from ocean-bound plastic waste. It also includes a fingerprint scanner for secure access and an IPS matte display that reduces glare for comfortable all-day use.
Powered by Intel’s Core Ultra series, the Aspire Vero 16 doesn’t compromise on performance. It’s the ideal choice for environmentally conscious users who want to reduce their carbon footprint while still getting a capable machine.
The Acer Swift X14: A Compact Powerhouse for Creators and Gamers
If you’re a content creator or gamer, the Acer Swift X14 AI is built with you in mind. Despite its incredibly slim and lightweight chassis, it packs a punch with an Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processor paired with an NVIDIA RTX 4070 GPU. This combination allows you to edit 4K video, run creative applications, and play modern games with ease.
The Swift X14 also features a haptic touchpad, support for MPP 2.5 styluses for note-taking or signing documents, and a versatile form factor that’s easy to carry around. It’s rare to find such a capable machine in such a portable package, making the Swift X14 a standout in the creator space.
Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI: Gaming Meets Style
Acer also made waves with a special edition gaming laptop—the Predator Helios Neo 16S AI, featuring a custom Indiana Jones and the Great Circle-themed lid. This unique design isn’t just for show; the Neo 16S is a gaming beast with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU and an NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti GPU. Whether you’re a fan of Indiana Jones or just need a powerful gaming machine, this laptop delivers both performance and personality.
The Star of the Show: Acer Swift Edge 14 AI
The laptop that truly stole the spotlight at Computex 2025 was the Acer Swift Edge 14 AI. I had the chance to take this laptop all over Taipei, testing its battery life, build quality, and unique features—and it did not disappoint.
First, the design is stunning. The Swift Edge 14 AI has a white aluminum alloy chassis with subtle gold branding, giving it an elegant, premium look. Despite its sturdy build, it weighs just .99 kg, making it one of the lightest AI-powered laptops available.
Opening the laptop is easy, even with one hand, revealing a white keyboard deck with a clicky, comfortable keyboard. While there’s no numpad (it’s a 14-inch laptop, after all), you do get Acer’s Sense Key, which launches Acer’s refreshed software suite. The interface is clean, intuitive, and focused on key features like performance management and system optimization.
One of the most innovative features is Acer’s AI-powered User Sensing Technology. This uses AI to lock the screen when you step away, enhancing security and privacy. There are also smart reminders that nudge you to take breaks and stretch, promoting a healthier workflow.
The touchpad is a standout too—centered perfectly, made of glass, and offering a satisfying click. A subtle AI activity indicator lights up whenever the system’s neural processing unit (NPU) is in use, letting you know when AI features are active.
Security-wise, the Swift Edge 14 AI supports Windows Hello facial recognition via an IR camera, and it also has a fingerprint sensor embedded into the power button for quick and secure login.
Display Innovation: The World’s First Gorilla Glass Matte Pro Panel
The 14-inch 3K OLED display is an industry first, featuring Corning Gorilla Glass Matte Pro. This technology reduces glare by up to 95%, making the screen much easier to use in bright environments without sacrificing color accuracy or contrast. It’s similar to Apple’s nano-texture display on the MacBook Pro but with the benefits of OLED, offering punchier colors and deeper blacks. With a 120Hz refresh rate, the Swift Edge 14 AI ensures smooth scrolling and responsive visuals for everyday use and creative work alike.
Final Thoughts
Acer’s 2025 lineup at Computex is an impressive showcase of how AI is transforming the laptop landscape. From affordable options like the Aspire 14 AI to the ultra-premium Swift Edge 14 AI, there’s something for everyone. Acer has found a way to combine premium materials, innovative AI features, and purpose-driven designs like eco-friendly builds and unique collaborations.
Whether you’re a student, a creative professional, a gamer, or someone who just wants a reliable, future-ready laptop, Acer’s new devices at Computex 2025 are worth keeping an eye on. They represent a bold step forward in integrating AI into everyday computing—and I can’t wait to see how they shape the future of laptops.
