Acer is debuting three new laptops with 14 inch displays and support for Microsoft Copilot+ features at IFA this week. What's a little unusual is that customers have a choice of three different processors.
The Acer Swift 14 AI (SF14-51) comes with Intel Lunar Lake processor options, while the Swift 14 AI (SF14-61) is powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 300 series chip and the new Acer Swift Go (SFG14-01) features a Qualcomm Snapdragon Plus X1P-42-100 processor. All three should be available starting this month.
Acer Swift 14 AI (SF14-51/T)All of those chips feature neural processing units capable of delivering at least 40 TOPS of AI performance, which is the minimum required to qualify as a Copilot+ PC. Whether most users will actually care remains to be seen.
But the good news is that the latest chips are also optimized to balance performance and efficiency, which could lead to long battery life (especially on the Snapdragon-powered Swift Go 14), or high-performance CPU and graphics capabilities (likely to be most noticeable on the Intel and AMD models).
Acer is also emphasizing high-quality displays on the Intel and AMD models, both of which support up to a 2880 x 1800 pixel OLED display with a 90 Hz refresh rate. The Qualcomm-powered laptop comes with a 1920 x 1200 pixel IPS LCD display.
All three new laptops support WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 and feature USB Type-C ports, but only the Intel model features ports that are certified as Thunderbolt 4 ports.
Another interesting new feature is an AI activity indicator light in the touchpad that glows to let you know if Microsoft's Copilot AI software is active.
