"Acer is announcing a selection of new laptops for CES 2026: small refreshes across its Swift lines and a few Nitro and Predator gaming laptops. But there's nothing small about the haptic trackpad on the new Acer Swift 16 AI, which Acer claims is the world's largest haptic one. Big trackpads are fairly prevalent on larger laptops, like the Razer Blade 16, but they're usually mechanical, not haptic - and not this big."
"Acer has other laptops getting refreshed with Intel's new Panther Lake chips: the lower-cost Swift Go 14 AI and the thin and light Swift Edge 14 AI and Swift Edge 16 AI. The larger Swift Go 16 AI will have AMD. These are all mostly chip bump models with some slight tweaks, but there are now more options for OLED displays across them all - which is always welcome."
Acer refreshed Swift, Nitro, and Predator laptops for CES 2026. The Swift 16 AI features the claimed world's largest haptic trackpad and includes a stylus for sketching and editing on the pad. The Swift 16 AI offers Intel Panther Lake processors, optional OLED panels, and many ports. Swift Go 14 AI and Swift Edge 14/16 AI get Panther Lake updates, while the larger Swift Go 16 AI uses AMD. Gaming updates include Nitro V 16S AI and Predator Helios Neo 16S AI with RTX 5050–5070 GPUs. Acer removed the AI lid logo and trackpad NPU light.
