Acer used its next@Acer global press conference on September 2 to unload a genuinely enormous lineup at IFA 2026 in Berlin, everything from a petaflop-class NVIDIA RTX Spark desktop to a naked-eye 3D gaming laptop, a repairable Vero notebook, a pair of new Predator handhelds, an entire wall of monitors, and even an ePaper display and a Gemini-powered projector. It’s the kind of announcement day where Acer is clearly trying to cover every corner of the market at once: creators, gamers, families, hybrid workers, and IT departments all get something new. Rather than post eight separate stories, here’s everything in one place, organized by product, with the standout feature of each one called out so you can jump straight to what you care about.
Acer SFF RTX Spark: A Petaflop of AI Compute in a Compact Desktop
Acer showcased a compact desktop design built around the NVIDIA RTX Spark superchip, aimed squarely at running personal AI agents locally instead of in the cloud. The standout numbers are a 6,144-core Blackwell RTX GPU, a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU, up to 1 petaflop of AI compute, and up to 128 GB of unified memory, a combination that pairs serious local AI horsepower with the data privacy of keeping everything on-device. Acer hasn’t announced pricing or availability yet; that’s coming at a future date.
Acer Veriton RI110 AI Mini Workstation: Hybrid Agentic AI in Your Pocket-Sized Footprint
The Veriton RI110 is Acer’s new compact workstation for organizations that want serious local AI without sacrificing desk space. It pairs an Intel Core Ultra X7 processor 358H with Intel Arc B390 graphics and supports AI models with up to 120 billion parameters. The real standout, though, is Acer Qubi Claw, a new agentic AI assistant that runs in an isolated sandbox for data security, can be scheduled to work autonomously, and ships with skills like online research, travel itinerary planning, and audio transcription/translation. OCuLink connectivity adds up to 64 Gbps of external GPU and storage bandwidth on top. It lands in North America in Q4 2026 and EMEA in Q1 2027.
Acer Vero 16: A Laptop Built to Be Repaired, Not Replaced
The fourth-generation Vero leans hard into repairability as its headline feature: a tool-free access latch, a detachable external hinge, and removable I/O port covers all make it easier to service, while the chassis mixes 50% post-industrial recycled aluminum with 50% low-carbon aluminum. It’s also rated to support processor upgrades for at least two generations, a rare commitment in a laptop. Underneath that sustainability story is real performance, with up to an Intel Core Ultra X9 processor 388H, 180 platform TOPS, and a 16-inch 3K OLED display. It arrives in EMEA in Q1 2027.
Aspire G 3D 16: Naked-Eye 3D Without a Headset
The Aspire G 3D 16 brings glasses-free 3D to a mainstream laptop using dual eye-tracking cameras that convert standard 2D photos, videos, and games into 3D on the fly, with no dedicated 3D content or discrete GPU required. It’s powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor with up to 126 overall TOPS and AMD Radeon 8060S graphics, backed by up to 128 GB of memory. The SpatialLabs 3D Hub app comes preloaded for 2D-to-3D conversion and immersive viewing. Availability will be announced later.
Aspire S 27 and Aspire S 24: Refreshed Family All-in-Ones
Acer’s minimalist white all-in-ones get a refresh with Intel Core Series 3 processors and, for the first time, an optional touchscreen with stylus support. The Aspire S 27 offers a choice of QHD at 120 Hz or FHD at 144 Hz, while the Aspire S 24 sticks to FHD at 144 Hz, both keeping the narrow-bezel, 90% screen-to-body design that’s made this line a straightforward home computer pick. They’re available in EMEA starting Q4 2026.
Predator Atlas 7: Flagship Handheld Performance, Shrunk Down
The Atlas 7 takes the performance of Acer’s 8-inch Predator handheld and repackages it into a more pocketable 7-inch form factor, powered by up to an Intel Arc G3 Extreme processor. The standout hardware detail is the dual-fan cooling setup, anchored by a precision metal Predator AeroBlade fan with 89 blades at just 0.1 mm thick for a claimed 10% airflow boost, paired with an optional TMR joystick for drift-free precision. Bundled XBOX Game Pass gets you playing out of the box, and an 80 Wh battery keeps sessions going. It ships in North America in Q4 2026 and EMEA starting November 2026.
Project DualPlay Mini: A Concept That’s Half Handheld, Half Laptop
Not a shipping product, but a concept worth noting: Project DualPlay Mini is an 8-inch Predator-branded device with a flip-and-swivel design that converts between a handheld gaming mode and a mini-laptop mode with a built-in physical keyboard, aimed at blurring the line between gaming and mobile productivity. A nice touch for Acer’s 50th anniversary: “Acer 50 since 1976” is embossed on the back cover in Morse code.
Predator and Nitro Monitor Lineup: Eight New Displays for Every Kind of Gamer
Acer unveiled a sweeping refresh across its Predator, Nitro, and ProDesigner monitor lines. The headline is the Predator XB253Q U1, Acer’s first FHD monitor to hit a 1000 Hz refresh rate, built for esports. The Predator X32 V3 counters with a 31.5-inch QD-OLED Penta Tandem panel at UHD/180Hz and DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400. The Predator XB273K V7 offers switchable UHD-at-160Hz or FHD-at-500Hz via Dynamic Frequency and Resolution (DFR). On the Nitro side, the XV275X P packs 5K resolution with 2304-zone Mini LED and DisplayHDR 1400, the curved 34-inch XZ340CKR P combines WUHD/180Hz with a 360Hz DFR mode, and the XV275U Z2 and XV270U Z3 both offer tri-mode DFR switching between QHD, FHD, and HD resolutions for up to 520 Hz. Rounding it out, the ProDesigner PE270X P targets creative professionals with 5K resolution, Delta E<1 color accuracy, and a 2304-zone Mini LED backlight. Pricing starts as low as $299.99 and runs up to $1,299.99 depending on the model, with availability staggered from Q4 2026 through Q2 2027 across regions.
Acer Swift Blade 14: A 799-Gram Laptop for Life on the Go
The Swift Blade 14 is built around sheer portability: 799 grams and as thin as 12.9 mm, with a magnesium-aluminum-and-carbon-fiber chassis in marshmallow blue or white. It’s powered by up to an Intel Core 7 processor 350 and offers up to a 3K OLED display with 100% DCI-P3 coverage in a 90% screen-to-body design. It arrives in EMEA in December 2026.
Acer Swift Air 16: All-Aluminum Style Meets Fast Charging
The Swift Air 16 pairs an all-aluminum chassis (in elemental blue, sage green, or sandstone gold) with a 70 Wh battery that fast-charges to 50% in just 30 minutes. Display options top out at a WQXGA+ OLED panel with 100% DCI-P3 and a 120 Hz refresh rate, and quad speakers with DTS Virtual:X handle the audio side. It’s available in EMEA from December 2026 and North America in Q1 2027.
Acer EP130K: A Paper-Like Monitor for Deep Work and Reading
The EP130K is a 13.3-inch ePaper portable monitor designed to reduce eye strain during long reading or writing sessions. It supports touch and stylus input directly on the ePaper surface, switches between color and black-and-white modes, and holds its image on screen even with all power removed thanks to its bi-stable panel. It launches in North America and EMEA in Q1 2027, starting at $749.99 / €749.
Acer PD163Q P3: Three Extra Screens From One USB-C Cable
For hybrid workers who want more screen real estate on the road, the PD163Q P3 folds out three 15.6-inch FHD IPS panels from a single USB-C connection to a laptop, adding up to four total displays when combined with the laptop’s own screen. It supports both extend and clone modes with uniform brightness control across all three panels. It arrives in North America, EMEA, and Australia in Q1 2027, starting at $349.99.
Acer C350e: A Projector That Doubles as an AI Companion
The C350e is a portable LED projector with 8,000 LED lumens and Full HD resolution, but its standout feature is the AI Badge, a small, detachable module that acts as a remote control and, when the projector isn’t in use, displays photos and runs Google Gemini-powered AI interactions on its own. Auto focus and 4-corner keystone correction round out the setup convenience. It’s available in EMEA in Q1 2027, starting at €199.
Acer Iconia X16, X14, A16, and A14: Refreshed Tablets for School and Streaming
Acer refreshed both tiers of its Iconia tablet lineup. The premium Iconia X16 and X14 get OLED displays and a metal chassis, while the entry-level Iconia A16 and A14 use IPS panels in Vapor Silver. All four run Android 16 on a MediaTek Helio G80 chip and share dual USB-C ports (one video-only, one for charging/data) plus a tripod-style kickstand, making them well-suited to homework, movies, and screen-casting setups. They arrive in North America and EMEA in Q4 2026.
Acer Connect X6ES and Connect D5P: New Ways to Get Online
Acer also expanded its connectivity lineup with the Connect X6ES, a 5G CPE router with Wi-Fi 6E, 4×4 MIMO, and intelligent failover between 5G and WAN for uninterrupted connections, and the Connect D5P, a plug-and-play 5G dongle with tri-SIM flexibility (eSIM, nano SIM, and vSIM) and download speeds up to 3.27 Gbps in 5G Standalone mode. The router lands in EMEA in Q1 2027 starting at €299, and the dongle arrives in North America in December 2026 starting at $299.99, with EMEA following in Q1 2027 at €249.
