The company has introduced the Swift Spin 14 AI for users seeking advanced AI capabilities and premium mobility, while the Aspire Go 15 targets everyday computing needs with a more affordable approach. The announcement also marks the debut of Acer’s first laptop powered by Qualcomm’s newly announced Snapdragon C platform.

The Acer Swift Spin 14 AI arrives as a Copilot+ PC and is available with either the Snapdragon X2 Elite or Snapdragon X2 Plus processor. Both configurations include a dedicated neural processing unit capable of delivering up to 80 TOPS of AI performance. The laptop supports up to 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage, while integrated Adreno graphics add support for DirectX 12.2 and hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

The 14-inch WUXGA IPS touchscreen offers a 120Hz refresh rate, 100 percent sRGB colour coverage and support for the bundled Acer Active Stylus 420 based on Wacom AES 2.0 technology. The stylus supports 4,096 pressure levels and tilt detection, making it suitable for note-taking and creative work.
The laptop features a 65Wh battery that Acer claims can deliver up to 23 hours of video playback or up to 16.5 hours of web browsing. Fast charging is supported through a 100W USB Type-C adapter.
