The ProArt P16 has 32GB of memory, an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, and a 12-core, 24-thread chip with a 50 TOP NPU. This strong core powers the device's creative endeavors, whether video editing, using advanced animation or graphic design programs, or simply multitasking with a handful of different apps and dozens of browser tabs.
Squeezing genuine desktop performance into a compact laptop is easier said than done; the balance between performance, battery life, size, weight, and thermals is hard to get right, and this is one reason Apple's 14in MacBook Pro has been so successful.
Acer is announcing a new Swift Air 16 at IFA 2025, and it's an absolute featherweight of a 16-inch laptop. Weighing in at 2.18 pounds / 0.99kg with an IPS display or 2.43 pounds / 1.1kg with its optional OLED, the Swift Air is lighter than even a 13-inch MacBook Air. It also packs more ports than the MacBook, and will start at a lower price of €999 when it launches in November. (North American availability and pricing is still TBD.)
