During our time at Computex Taipei 2024, we were given the opportunity to visit the Acer booth to check out what they had in store for us.
This year, Acer is showcasing a variety of advanced technology with its product line, with its 3D stereoscopic image camera being one of its highlights.
The Acer booth is separated into several sections, with its laptop exhibitions splitting into one all about business laptops, and the other containing all the new products from the Predator series, which is Acer’s gaming line. In the central area, Acer exhibited the upcoming iterations of its Swift series laptops, now equipped with AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series.
Swift Series
On topic with the Switch series, the Acer Swift 14 AI Copilot+ laptop merges advanced AI technology with exceptional hardware configurations. With AI design elements now incorporated in its body, whenever the Copilot or NPU computations are in progress, the top right corner of the touchpad will have lights flashing.
Apart from that, the Swift 14 AI Copilot+ laptop is powered by a Snapdragon X Series platform with integrated NPUs delivering 45 TOPS and comes in a 14.9mm thin and 1.36kg weight aluminum chassis. Furthermore, the laptop features a 16:10 aspect ratio, 120Hz refresh rate, 14.5-inch IPS display, and it supports next-generation AI features in Windows 11 such as Recall, Cocreator, Live Captions, and the new Windows Studio Effects, and Auto Super Resolution.
