Acer today announced two new thin-and-light laptops expanding portable performance: the ultralight Acer Swift Blade 14 and the Acer Swift Air 16, both running on Windows 11. Weighing only 799 g and as thin as 12.9 mm, the super-compact 14-inch Acer Swift Blade 14 (SFB14-53CF) is designed around mobile productivity. It is powered by up to an Intel Core 7 processor 350, paired with 12 GB of LPDDR5 memory and up to 1 TB of storage. For premium visuals, the laptop offers up to a 3K OLED display with up to 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. A 90% screen-to-body ratio, 4.3 mm ultra-slim bezels, and 16:10 aspect ratio maximize screen space. To enable users to stay connected throughout the day, Swift Blade 14 is equipped with a 50 Wh battery, the versatility of three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C ports, and a FHD user-facing camera with a camera switch. The distinctive chassis design features a combination of magnesium-aluminium alloy and carbon fiber, and the device comes in two color options—marshmallow blue and marshmallow white.

Balancing style and functionality, the 16-inch Acer Swift Air 16 (SFA16-I31T / SFA16-I31) is built for work, play, and everything in between. The laptop is powered by up to an Intel Core 7 processor 350 with up to 40 platform TOPS and a dedicated NPU, paired with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5x memory and up to 512 GB of upgradable storage. Measuring as thin as 13.3 mm and weighing 1.5 kg, its mobile-first design features an all-aluminium chassis in elemental blue, sage green, or sandstone gold. The laptop's 70 Wh battery is capable of fast-charging to 50% in only 30 minutes via a 100 W adapter. For entertainment and visual-driven productivity, the Swift Air 16 offers OLED with 100% DCI-P3 or IPS with 100% sRGB display options, along with a 16:10 aspect ratio, up to WQXGA+ (2880 x 1800) resolution, up to 500 nits of brightness, and up to a 120 Hz refresh rate. It also comes with an IPS screen option that includes multi-touch support. The device's quad-speaker audio setup delivers immersive sound with DTS Virtual: X for 3D spatial audio, and dual Thunderbolt 4 ports provide high-speed connectivity.
