Acer Swift Go 14 review: Core Ultra is a game-changer for Intel
It's one of the first laptops with Intel Meteor Lake
The Acer Swift Go 14 is an upper mid-tier laptop that's designed to feel premium while still being lightweight. Basically speaking, it's the entry-level laptop in the premium tier, sitting below the Swift 14, Swift X, and Swift Edge. Overall, this is a solid PC that checks the right boxes.
Acer Swift Edge 16 review: A stunning OLED laptop with a crazy-good AMD Ryzen CPU
The Acer Swift Edge 16 is a treat of a laptop thanks to the fantastic OLED display and the Ryzen 7 7840U CPU under the hood
There are two features that I love to see on a laptop. The first is an OLED display, and the second is a CPU that's speedy-fast. The new Acer Swift Edge 16 has both of those, and it is the reason why this became my favorite laptop during the three-week period that I had it.
Hands-on with the upgraded Acer Predator Triton 16 and the crazy Orion X desktop
Acer's Predator Triton 16 is more powerful than ever, but the Predator Orion X desktop is a really cool mini gaming desktop PC.
At Computex 2023, Acer introduced the Predator Triton 16, which, despite the name, isn't a totally new laptop. Much like the Swift series, Acer's gaming lineup is also being rebranded, and the company says the Predator Triton 16 is the successor to the older Predator Triton 300 SE. Its placement in the lineup is a bit confusing, and even Acer couldn't exactly tell me what each of the previous tiers of Predator laptops will become.
Checking out Acer's refreshed Swift Edge 16 with AMD Zen 4 processors and a 120Hz display
Acer introduced a new Swift Edge 16 at Computex 2023, and we got to try them out, along with the company's other products.
Ahead of Computex 2023, Acer introduced a couple of new laptops, the Acer Swift Edge 16 and the Predator Triton 16, along with a new router. Of course, being at the show, I had to spend some time at Acer's booth checking out the new Swift Edge 16, one of the most premium laptops in the company's lineup. though I also took a look at some existing products that are already hitting different markets.
Acer Swift 14 (2023) review: A great laptop with common shortcomings
Acer's latest Swift 14 adds 13th-generation Intel processors, a better webcam, and more.
I always feel like Acer's laptops are underrated. I'm always impressed every time the company sends me a new model, but when the discussion comes up over which are the best laptops, the company is frequently overshadowed by the likes of HP, Lenovo, and Dell. And that continues to be true with the Acer Swift 14, which took things up a notch from its predecessor, the Swift 5.
Hands on: Acer's new TravelMate P6 brings OLED to the business space
Looking for a business laptop with a pretty display? Acer has you covered.
Acer held its spring next@acer event today, introducing a wide range of products from Chromebooks to gaming laptops. In the business laptop department, we have the new TravelMate P6, and Acer was kind enough to send us a pre-production unit to check out.
Acer Chromebook Enterprise Vero 514 review: Not your typical ChromeOS device
The Acer Chromebook Enterprise Vero 514 puts the environment first, but it is also one of the fastest Chromebooks we've ever reviewed.
A lot of great Chromebooks and some of the best ChromeOS tablets aren't just for personal or school use anymore. Many businesses are now using specialized Chromebooks as part of their fleet of devices. After all, ChromeOS can be easy to manage with the Chrome Enterprise Upgrade. The operating system is lightweight, simple, and less sophisticated than Windows, so it's easy to learn.
Acer Swift Edge review: A 16-inch laptop that will blow you away
It's 2.58 pounds with a big old OLED display.
When it comes to 16-inch laptops, you really have to think about your use case. Some are larger and heavier, packing 45W processors and discrete graphics that wouldn't fit in a 13-inch laptop; that's what you buy if you need more power. Some, like the Acer Swift Edge, serve the same purpose as a smaller laptop, just with a larger screen.
Acer TravelMate Spin P4 review: A great 2-in-1 for business ruined by a bad display
The TravelMate Spin P4 has a lot of great features, but it's seriously weak in one important area.
The best Windows convertible laptops aren't just for regular consumers. Businesses looking to treat their employees or executives with a new system often end up buying them, too. Usually, it's the Lenovo ThinkPads that come to mind for most IT admins who do the shopping, but Acer has the TravelMate line that's just as good as anything in Acer's laptop lineup.
Acer Chromebook Spin 513 Mediatek review: A real Chromebook surprise
The Acer Chromebook Spin 513 is a really surprising Chromebook thanks to the MediaTek SoC under the hood, as well as its great design.
Some of the best Chromebooks I've ever used feature Intel, AMD, or Qualcomm chips. I argue that those chips are quite powerful for Chromebooks as is. But there's one player in the Chromebook market that many people (and even myself) often overlook: MediaTek. It's been part of the Chromebook story since 2016, and recently, it put its newest chips in some great Chromebook models. The Acer Chromebook Spin 513 is one of them.
Acer Chromebook 516 GE hands-on: One of the best Chromebooks I've ever used for gaming
The Acer Chromebook 516 GE is one of the best Chromebooks I've used, with an RGB keyboard, 120Hz screen, and stylish design.
Gaming is the last thing that I think of when I use a Chromebook. While I could fire up Xbox Cloud Gaming or Nvidia GeForce Now on any Chromebook through the web, I never had reason to try it before because the hardware isn't specialized for it. I think of Chromebooks as laptops with long battery life, great security, and efficiency. Cloud gaming is what I usually do on my Android phone or something like the incoming Logitech GCloud. But that all changed for me recently.
When you buy a laptop for prices close to $800, you often think about specifications and price more than anything else. Never on your mind is about how friendly your new laptop is to the environment. Or, if it's using recycled materials and upcycled content. You just want one of the best laptops that feels premium, and will last.
The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE is an excellent gaming laptop. It packs a whole bunch of power, comping with either a 45W Core i7 or a Core i9, and with either an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti or an RTX 3080 Ti. While it's a little pricy, there are only quality configurations here. Some OEMs start their gaming laptops with a Core i5, 8GB RAM, and GTX graphics just to bring down the price. You don't find that here.
Acer Swift 3 (2022) Review: A solid mainstream laptop, but it needs a bigger battery
The Acer Swift 3 for 2022 is faster than ever and has a sharper display, but those upgrades comes at the expense of battery life.
The Acer Swift 3 is one of the mainstays in the company's laptop lineup, and the 2022 model brings some very welcome improvements that make this a great laptop for most people. It's got plenty of performance with Intel's P series, up to a Quad HD display, and - potentially my favorite aspect - a very good webcam that makes it ideal for remote learning or work.
