As people’s tastes in content become more sophisticated, the tools used to create such content also need to evolve. But rather than simply throwing in more hardware at the problem, PC makers like Acer are trying to push the boundaries of what’s possible when it comes to raw power while still keeping designs clean, elegant, and light. Part of that relies on using AI to not only optimize the computer’s operations but also provide creators with tools that make their work feel almost effortless.
At CES 2025, Acer is announcing a wide range of designs that deliver this kind of power to consumers, gamers, creators, and everyone in between. Whether you’re looking for a lightweight laptop or an AI-enhanced desktop, the brand’s family of Swift and Aspire computers promises to help designers, developers, and knowledge workers make the best use of their time and resources by simplifying workflows and providing tools to make tasks a breeze.

The use of PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) materials and recycled packing also gives the new Acer Swift Go laptops a character that cares for their owner’s future and well-being.
Despite their slim design, the Acer Swift Go 16 and 14 are hardly lacking in power or features, especially when it comes to AI tools that help enhance creators’ workflows.
