Acer unleashes a wave of new tech at Computex 2025
Acer has just dropped a tech tsunami at Computex 2025, unveiling a sprawling lineup of new laptops, wearables, monitors, tablets, and even projectors. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer, a budding creative, or someone who just wants smarter everyday devices, it seems that there’s something in this lot for you. Here’s everything you need to know.
Predator power: Gaming laptops and desktops
Acer’s Predator range saw a serious refresh with the launch of three new machines:
- Predator Triton 14 AI: A slim, premium gaming and creative laptop with an Intel Core Ultra 9 and RTX 5070 GPU. Its 14-inch OLED display is touch-enabled and Calman Verified for colour accuracy. It’s also the first laptop to use graphene for cooling.
- Predator Helios Neo 14 AI: Slightly more affordable but still beastly, with up to the same RTX 5070 graphics, RGB lighting, and a speedy OLED display.
- Predator Orion 3000: A compact gaming desktop with updated internals and a fresh chassis design, offering RTX 5070 power in a sleek form.
Swift moves: Creator-focused and ultra-light laptops
Content creators are getting two new Swift X 14 models: one powered by AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series, the other by Intel Core Ultra 9. Both feature RTX 5070 GPUs and vibrant 3K OLED displays, with NVIDIA Studio validation and a bagful of AI tricks via Windows Copilot+ and Acer’s own apps.
Meanwhile, for those after thin, light, and intelligent devices, the Swift Edge 14 AI stands out. Weighing just 0.99kg, it’s the world’s first laptop with a Gorilla Glass Matte Pro screen, designed to reduce glare without compromising display clarity. Joining it are two Swift Go AI models, bringing Copilot+ smarts and up to 16-inch OLED screens at lower prices.
Wearables and e-mobility: Acer gadget goes lifestyle
Acer’s new FreeSense Ring is a titanium-clad smart ring that tracks heart rate, blood oxygen, and sleep, all with no subscription required. It’s joined by AI TransBuds, clever earbuds that handle real-time two-way translation in 15 languages. Only one person needs to wear them, making them great for travel or work.
They’re also showcasing new e-scooters and fat-tire e-bikes under the Predator and Acer names, with companion apps to track performance and manage security.
Budget-friendly AI with Aspire laptops
The Aspire AI range just expanded to six new Copilot+ PCs, with models powered by Intel, AMD, and Snapdragon chips. Available in 14- and 16-inch sizes, these thin-and-light machines are built for students, families and anyone wanting all-day performance, AI features like Recall and Live Captions, and full-HD webcams for staying connected.
Tablets and 5G gadgets for life on the move
The new Iconia V12 and V11 tablets are aimed at casual users, with lightweight aluminium builds, optional styluses, and Android 15. Paired with them are a trio of Acer Connect 5G devices:
- X6E Plus CPE: A fixed 5G box with touch-to-connect tech
- M4 Mobile Wi-Fi: A portable hotspot with 28-hour battery life
- D5 Pro 5G Dongle: A plug-and-play USB-C stick with fast 5G access and VPN support
Display overload: Gaming, creating, and portable monitors
Two new Predator QD-OLED monitors top the charts: one offers a blazing 500Hz refresh rate, the other balances 4K visuals with 240Hz smoothness. Both are FreeSync Premium Pro certified.
On the creative side, Acer launched its ProCreator monitor line, featuring 5K and even 6K resolutions, Calman verification, OLED panels, and colour calibration tools via Acer Creator Hub. There’s also a portable 16-inch OLED display and dual-screen foldable monitors for on-the-go multitasking.
And for casual use or streaming? The Nitro Google TV monitors bring together smart TV functions with up to 240Hz refresh rates, which is great for light gaming or binge-watching Netflix.
Projectors with a twist
Wrapping things up, Acer launched portable and ultra-short-throw projectors, including the PD1810 with 4K resolution, low-latency performance and wireless connectivity. Its compact sibling, the PD1520s, is a slim and smart projector made for mobile use with apps, screen mirroring, and long lamp life.
