Acer introduced a broad set of new products at its latest launch event, spanning local AI computing, ultraportable laptops, repair-focused hardware, gaming handhelds and retro consumer devices. The company showcased the Acer Swift Blade 14, the SFFF RTX Spark mini PC, gaming handheld products, and the return of the classic Packard Bell retro line.
Among the products shown, the new Packard Bell Dot Loop turntable drew particular attention. Acer presented it with a classic record-player look, while adding support for physical vinyl playback, Bluetooth connectivity and voice control.
Local AI computing products
The Acer SFFF RTX Spark mini AI PC uses NVIDIA RTX Spark architecture and comes with a 6,144-core Blackwell RTX GPU, a 20-core Nvidia Gray processor and 128 GB of memory. Acer said the system delivers 1 petaflop of FP4 local AI performance and can run advanced 120 billion-parameter AI agents locally without relying on cloud servers. The machine uses Windows on ARM and has been optimized for CUDA.
For enterprise users, Acer also introduced the Veriton Ri 110 AI mini workstation. It includes an Intel Arc B390 GPU and 96GB of dual-channel memory, and Acer said it also supports workloads involving 120 billion-parameter models for inference and automation tasks.
Acer Google Book combines the Android app ecosystem with ChromeOS, with Gemini AI serving as the system core. The device also features a Glow Bar designed to serve both visual and functional purposes.
Thin and repairable laptops
The Acer Swift Blade 14 weighs less than 799 grams and is under 14 mm thick. It uses a unibody chassis made from carbon fiber and magnesium alloy, and runs on an Intel Core Series 3 processor.
The Acer Vero 16 expands Acer’s repairability approach with a modular replacement design. Users can remove and replace the SSD, battery, IO ports and motherboard through rear latches on the device.
A high-end gaming monitor mentioned during the event supports dual-mode switching and a 1,000 Hz refresh rate.
Gaming handhelds and concept hardware
Acer also presented the Predator Atlas 7 handheld and the Project Dual Play Mini concept handheld, which uses a sliding transformable structure. According to the launch materials, these devices can switch between gaming, work and PC modes.
Project Dual Play Mini is equipped with an Intel processor and Predator AeroBlade cooling technology, along with TMR joysticks and Hall Effect triggers. When slid open, it reveals a full-size keyboard and fold-out dual-speaker wings, allowing it to shift form based on the intended use case.
Packard Bell retro line returns
Alongside the Dot Loop Bluetooth turntable, Packard Bell also introduced the Dotbook laptop. The product uses a bright orange design. The source article said it was made for users prone to everyday accidents, with an emphasis on preventing issues such as coffee spills on the keyboard or blockages in USB ports.
ABMedia said the event highlighted Acer’s effort to move beyond its previous product framework, with launches that ranged from local AI systems to retro-styled hardware.
