Powerful AI Processing with Advanced Security Features
The new Acer Swift 14 AI (SF14-51/T) and Swift 16 AI (SF16-51/T) deliver best-in-class AI performance with new Intel Core Ultra processors that optimize processing across the CPU, built-in Intel® Arc™ graphics, and next-gen neural processing unit (NPU) to accelerate AI workloads. As a result, the new laptops can accelerate generative AI tasks and creations with ease. They also feature new P-cores and E-cores designed for uncompromised performance while delivering exceptional power efficiency and battery life.
The new laptops safeguard users’ digital assets with biometric security and several layers of protection built-in at the hardware and software levels. The new Intel® Partner Security Engine helps preserve data confidentiality and code integrity while maintaining high performance for demanding AI workloads.
Additionally, the Microsoft Pluton security processor ensures that they are both secured-core PCs providing chip-to-cloud security. These new Swift laptops come with Windows Hello that supports biometric login via fingerprint reader or through facial recognition by the 1440p QHD IR webcam. Plus, the laptops protect users with Acer User Sensing technology, which enables the proximity sensor adjacent to the webcam to detect the user’s presence, automatically lock the screen when the user moves away, and wake up the device when the user returns.
Premium Design and Features
The new laptops’ performance and capabilities complement the premium chassis and sleek, modern designs. The aluminum cover boasts a stylish icon with a dynamic iridescent effect, while the touchpad illuminates with an AI Activity Indicator when the NPU is utilized or if Copilot is activated. Both new laptop lines can be easily opened with a single hand thanks to expert engineering and smooth 180-degree hinges. Plus, both are easy to carry by hand or in a bookbag thanks to their thin and light designs.
Equally as stunning as the laptops’ design are their gorgeous OLED displays that provide ultra-smooth playback with a 90 Hz refresh rate, brilliant DCI-P3 color accuracy, and HDR TrueBlack 500 certification. The Swift 14 AI is available with a 14-inch 3K or 2K OLED resolution display, while the Swift 16 AI line features a 16-inch 3K OLED panel, all of which are Eyesafe 2.0 certified. In addition, both laptop lines are available with an IPS touch display option for intuitive on-screen controls using a pen or fingertip.
