The Acer Swift Edge 14 AI (SFE14-51/T) Copilot+ PC delivers remarkable power within an exceptionally lightweight design, weighing a mere 0.99 kg.

In addition to the NPU, it also incorporates a built-in Intel Arc GPU for enhanced visual upscaling and accelerated generative AI creation performance. User-friendly features optimize the laptop’s AI capabilities; the new fingerprint reader illuminates upon successful biometric recognition and login. Moreover, the touchpad includes a distinctive AI Activity Indicator that lights up when the NPU is in use or when Copilot is activated. The Swift Edge 14 AI offers ample storage, with up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory and up to 1 TB of PCIe Gen 4 storage, ensuring smooth and rapid operation. Furthermore, it boasts a substantial battery life of up to 21 hours for all-day productivity and entertainment.

The premium, ultra-thin chassis is constructed from a high-grade magnesium-aluminum alloy, providing superior durability compared to aluminum alone. The all-new design features a striking dual arrow pattern, enhancing its modern aesthetic, and a “soft-touch” keyboard with a unique UV-cured coating that offers a velvety feel and is resistant to wear and stains. It comes equipped with a comprehensive array of essential connections, including dual Thunderbolt 4 and dual USB Type-A ports. Finally, Military Grade (MIL-STD 810H) compliance ensures this sophisticated laptop can withstand the rigors of daily travel, client meetings, and campus life.

Acer PurifiedVoice 2.0, working in conjunction with the triple microphone array on each new laptop, effectively minimizes background noise, ensuring users sound their best during conference calls. A variety of AI tools and features are available across these new lines, including Acer Assist, an offline knowledge base app that searches locally stored documents to ensure security and privacy. The devices also feature the latest connectivity options, including HDMI 2.1 and USB Type-C ports, support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 or above, and deliver immersive audio with DTS: X Ultra audio.
