Acer is also launching the TravelMate P2 Spin 14 convertible with a WUXGA 1920×1200 touchscreen and a garaged Wacom AES 2.0 stylus, alongside the TravelMate X2 15 and X2 14 models. For everyday computing, the Swift Air 14 offers an all-metal chassis and quad-speaker audio, powered by an Intel Core Series 3 CPU.

The consumer-focused Aspire X 16 AI scales up to Intel Core Ultra X9 processors to deliver 180TOPS of AI computing power, paired with advanced cooling and a thin-and-light frame. It's joined by the Aspire 18 AI laptop powered by Intel Core Ultra 3 series and the Aspire C AI Series all-in-one desktops, which offer a choice between AMD (Zen 5) and Intel (Core Ultra 3) chips.

Gamers might be interested in the Predator Helios 18 AI, which packs up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU and an RTX 5090 Laptop GPU inside a chassis cooled by 6th Gen AeroBlade 3D Fans. Meanwhile, the new Nitro 16 becomes Acer's first gaming laptop to feature up to an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D processor, paired with up to an RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU.
