Acer is updating its Swift line of thin, lightweight laptops with five new models. The lineup includes the Swift X 14 and Swift X 14 AI, aimed at content creators, and the Swift Edge 14 AI and Swift Go 14 and 16 AI for general productivity work.
The Acer Swift X 14 and Swift X 14 AI are built for creative professionals like graphic designers, video editors, and photographers. Both models have NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPUs, which will come in handy for video editing, streaming, 3D rendering, or local AI workflows. They also come with pre-installed NVIDIA Studio drivers to boost performance.
The Swift X 14 AI runs on AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors, with the top model featuring an AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processor with Zen 5 cores for quick response times and handling heavy tasks. Meanwhile, the Swift X 14 uses Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2), up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 285H, for smooth multitasking and app performance.
Both laptops support up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory and up to 2 TB of PCIe Gen 4 storage. Their 14.5-inch 3K OLED screens are Calman-verified for color accuracy and have a 16:10 aspect ratio, edge-to-edge glass, and VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 500 certification. This is great when editing photos or images, because monitors that are not as good tend to give a darker and more contrasted image, which can lead to a brighter end result than necessary.
The Acer Swift Edge 14 AI is designed for those who want a high-end laptop that is both powerful and lightweight. It weighs just 0.99 kg and has an ultra-thin magnesium-aluminum body, a 14-inch 3K OLED screen with edge-to-edge glass, and a Corning Gorilla Matte Pro surface that cuts screen glare by 95 percent.
It runs on Intel Core Ultra 200V Series processors, up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 288V, with built-in NPUs. The NPUs give over 40 TOPS, which is good for AI performance. It also includes an Intel Arc GPU for better visual upscaling. With up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory and up to 1 TB of PCIe Gen 4 storage, it handles really demanding tasks smoothly. The laptop also has a long battery life of up to 21 hours.
The Swift Go 16 AI and Swift Go 14 AI are made for those who want a mix of performance and portability. These laptops are powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor 258V with Intel Arc graphics, 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory, and 2 TB of PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD storage. Remember, you can get a lower-end version for cheaper; the specs mentioned are just the best.
Acer says the Swift Go laptops should last over a day on standby battery, but up to 16 hours if doing something like web browsing. The Swift Go 16 AI has up to a 16-inch 2K OLED display, while the Swift Go 14 AI has a 14-inch WUXGA OLED screen. Both displays are VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 500-certified and Eyesafe 2.0 certified.
Acer has not provided exact pricing or availability information for these laptops yet.
