Acer CES 2026 AI Laptops and Predator Gaming Gear: Every Major Update
Discover Acer's massive CES 2026 lineup including Swift AI laptops, RTX 5070 gaming rigs, and a record-breaking 1000Hz Predator monitor. See what's next for tech.
Acer just flooded CES 2026 with a massive onslaught of hardware. The Taiwanese giant didn't hold back, unveiling everything from enterprise solutions to routers. However, the real stars of the show are the new AI-branded laptops and displays that push the boundaries of refresh rates and portability.
The Swift AI Series: Giant Touchpads and Featherweight Designs
Acer refreshed its Swift line with five new models, and as the names suggest, AI is now central to the experience. The standout Swift 16 AI features what Acer calls the "world's largest haptic touchpad," which even supports a stylus for creators. It's paired with a stunning 16-inch 3K OLED touch display.
For those on the move, the Swift Edge AI models are incredibly thin. The 14-inch variant measures just 13.95mm thick and weighs less than 1kg. Despite the small footprint, they pack Intel Core Ultra 9 processors and up to 32GB of RAM, ensuring no compromise on performance.
Gaming Powerhouses: RTX 5070 and Blazing 1000Hz Displays
Gamers have plenty to look forward to with the Predator Helios Neo 16S AI. This top-tier machine is equipped with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 GPU and up to 64GB of RAM. The mainstream Nitro V 16 AI also gets the RTX 5070 treatment, making high-end graphics more accessible.
Acer is also breaking speed records in the monitor market. The Predator XB273U F6, priced at $799.99, can reach a mind-blowing 1000Hz refresh rate if you're willing to drop the resolution to 720p. For professionals, the ProDesigner PE320QX offers a massive 6K resolution for pixel-perfect precision.
