Acer announced quite a selection of new laptops, displays and accessories at CES 2026. But there are a few you'll want to check out virtually or in person in Vegas.
With no major updates to the desktop ecosystem, Acer's laptops have a real chance to stand out among the company's new gaming monitors.
Acer Swift Edge 14 AI

The Acer Swift Edge 14 AI is a smaller version of last year's new Swift Edge 16, which is just as thin and durable as the 2025 version, thanks to its stainless steel and magnesium alloy body. But the new Swift Edge 14 AI weighs less than 1kg and is just 13.99mm thin, making it one of the thinnest and lightest laptops in the market.
When I was able to hold the Swift Edge 14 AI in my hands, I was afraid of breaking the laptop considering how thin and light it is. However, as hard as it may be to believe, both Swift Edge laptops meet MIL-STD-810H durability standards, so it's hardly fragile.
Acer updates Swift Edge 14 AI and Swift Edge 16 AI by 2026 with Intel Core Ultra 9 388H chipsets, up to 32GB of memory and 1TB SSD, plus 3K, 120Hz OLED touch displays. But the real selling point is the multi-control touchpad, which makes multimedia, conferencing and presentation tools easier to use.
Predator Helios Neo 16S AI

Predator Helios Neo 16S AI is an ultra-thin gaming laptop with a 3K OLED display, an Intel Core Ultra 9 386H processor and a discrete Nvidia RTX 5070 Graphics: At just 18.9mm thin, it's one of the thinnest gaming laptops on the market.
While many gamers prefer chunkier, high-performance gaming laptops, I personally lean more toward thin, portable gaming laptops since I have one or two desktops to use at home. The Acer Triton 14 AI's huge portability factor makes it one of my favorite laptops of 2025 for good reason, and the Helios Neo 16S AI is an equally powerful portable laptop. However, it has a more powerful processor and a larger screen for a more immersive gaming experience.
Monitor Predator X34 F3
Acer hasn't been behind on the monitor side either: the two new gaming displays come with remote controls that let you change settings without fiddling with the keys on the back or bottom of the monitor, so you won't have any problems orienting them in any direction or stacking them together.
Although Acer had two new Predator monitors, the Predator X34 F3 features a stunning QD-OLED panel that makes it shine compared to the XB27U F6. The X34 also has a maximum refresh rate of 360Hz with 0.03ms latency, which is impressive for a 34-inch curved QD-OLED display.
