Acer stepped forward at Computex with a handheld that takes a clear stand. The Nitro Blaze Link exists to pull games from a nearby computer and show them on its screen with built-in controls. It leaves the heavy graphics work on a stronger machine and keeps its own parts minimal on purpose. Designers gave the body ergonomic grips along each side for steady handling during extended play. Standard controls fill the surface in familiar spots, including dual analog sticks, a directional pad, face buttons, shoulder bumpers, and triggers. A seven-inch touchscreen sits front and center with 1920 by 1200 resolution and support for five touch points at once.

Acer has introduced the Swift Air 14 as a laptop that focuses on easy movement and extended time between charges. The all-aluminum body weighs 1.25 kg (2.75 lb) and measures as little as 12.9 millimeters thick at its narrowest point. Four color finishes are immediately noticeable: sage green, ice blue, bloom pink, and lilac purple.

Gamers looking for dependable frame rates without breaking the wallet will find the Acer Nitro V ANV15-52-586Z, priced at $699.99 (was $800), to be an excellent choice. This 15.6-inch laptop is an excellent middle-grounder, combining an Intel Core i5-13420H processor with an nVidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card in a configuration that prioritizes everyday playability over flashy features.

Alright, gamers, get ready to lose your minds, because Acer’s Predator lineup is bringing the heat to Computex 2025 with the Predator Helios Neo 14 AI. This 14.5-inch gaming laptop is a lean, mean, power-packed machine that’s slim enough to toss in your backpack without breaking your spine. It’s the kind of rig that delivers desktop-level grunt for those who want to frag foes on the go, and Acer’s absolutely nailing the vibe here.

First unveiled in September, the Acer Project DualPlay gaming laptop is concept renders no more after making an appearance at CES 2025. It features a large touchpad that doubles as a built-in detachable wireless controller, which can be unlocked by simply placing two fingers on the release button located on top of the keyboard.

It may not look like a Game Boy, but the Acer Nitro Blaze 7 handheld gaming PC can do so much more. This is made possible with an AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS processor, complete with Ryzen AI, a technology that optimizes performance and responsiveness across a wide range of games as well as applications.

The Acer Project DualPlay gaming laptop concept was unveiled today at the company’s next@acer global press conference in Berlin, Germany, and it has one feature you won’t find on any of its competitors. More specifically, it features a large touchpad that doubles as a built-in detachable wireless controller.

Priced at $2,500 ($5,153 in 2024) with matching 14″ CRT monitor, the very first Acer Aspire desktop PC (575LB) from 1995 that runs Windows 95 was much sleeker than the competition with its rounded case. It featured a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Vibra 16 sound card, Cirrus Logic GD5440 integrated graphics with 1MB of onboard memory, and more.
