Acer is updating its lineup of Swift Edge, Go and X laptops at Computex with
the latest Intel chips, and in of one of these Copilot+ PCs, a unique matte
display treatment developed by Corning, the glass manufacturer behind the
Gorilla Glass covering millions of smartphones.

The beneficiary of that new display is the Swift Edge 14 AI. The laptop's
display has an anti-glare Gorilla Matte Pro finish that's the first of its
kind on a laptop, and is supposed to "reduce screen reflection by 95 percent"
compared to alternative anti-glare glass. Acer introduced the original Swift
Edge 14 AI alongside the parade of Copilot+ PCs that accompanied Microsoft's
big push into AI last year. The new Swift Edge 14 AI benefits from those same
AI features like Recall or Click to Do thanks to its updated internals. You
can spec the Swift Edge 14 AI with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor with
Intel Arc graphics, up to 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of storage. All of
this components are packed into a white and relatively light (2.18 lbs)
magnesium-aluminum alloy body, with a 14-inch OLED screen and a "soft-touch"
stain-resistant keyboard.

For the new Swift Go 14 AI and Swift Go 16 AI, Acer lets you build the laptop
with up to an Intel Core Ultra 7, up to 32 GBLPDDR5X RAM and up to 2TB of
storage. On the Swift Go 14 AI you can opt for a 16:10, 1,920 x 1,200
resolution OLED and a similarly laid out 2,048 x 1,280 resolution OLED on the
Swift Go 16 AI. Neither laptop is as sleek as the Swift Edge 14 AI ΓÇö in
terms of appearance, the Swift Go laptops seem like the kind you'd be
assigned for work. Case in point, both Go models have 1080p, Windows Hello-
compatible webcams and touchpads with built-in video conferencing controls.

Acer is also updating its Swift X laptops, the company's go-to option if
you're looking for more graphical oomph. Both the Swift X 14 AI and the plain
Swift X 14 include a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU, which should power
you through all sort of video editing and 3D rendering tasks. You can pair
the GPU with up to an AMD Ryzen AI 9 on the Swift X 14 AI or up to an Intel
Core Ultra 9 on on the Swift X 14. Both laptops can include up to 32GB of
LPDDR5X RAM and up to 2TB of storage. This year's Swift laptops also feature
a 14.5-inch 3K OLED displays and larger haptic touchpads that support tilt-
enabled styluses for drawing and photo retouching.

Likely due to the unpredictable nature of global trade, none of Acer's new
Swift laptops have finalized pricing or availability in the US, though we can
share the info Acer has for Europe. The Swift Edge 14 AI is expected to be
available in June for Γé¼1,599, the Swift Go 14 AI a little bit later in July
for Γé¼1,199 and the Swift Go 16 AI in August for Γé¼1,299.

The story is the same for Acer's Swift X laptops. Both the Swift X 14 AI and
Swift X 14 will be available in July for Γé¼1,799.
