Acer has been a busy brand at CES 2026. Best known for its value-driven Predator and Nitro laptop lines, Acer is expanding deeper into e-mobility and next-gen connectivity this year. Yep, we can expect a new electric scooter, advanced Wi-Fi 7 routers to name a couple. Plus, Acer hasn’t forgotten what it’s good at: laptops and monitors (many designed for gamers). In this roundup, I’m breaking down the most interesting CES 2026 Acer announcements and what they actually mean for real-world users.
This company isn’t new to the e-mobility game. It launched its first eScooter, the MUVI 125 4G in 2023. At CES 2026, Acer announced that it’s expanding its e-mobility portfolio once again with the ES Storm Pro. This new eScooter boasts a foldable frame, long-range battery, and a water resistance rating. It’s aimed at commuters who tackle varied terrain.

Faster connections have always been a focus at Acer. At CES 2026, their dedication is on full display: a Wi-Fi 7 gaming router, Wi-Fi 7 mesh routers for home use, and an advanced mobile hotspot. This might finally be the year we see faster internet, in every use sector!
Game a lot? Then you might want to add the new Acer Predator Connect X7S 5G CPE to your setup. This high-performance 5G router combines lightening-fast 5G cellular internet with advanced Wi-Fi 7 tech and MLO (multi-link operation). The result is ultra-low latency with stable and fast internet specifically designed for serious gamers and streamers. It’s a great solution is fiber is unavailable.
If you struggle with dead zones, even with Wi-Fi 6, Acer’s Connect Ovia T360 and T520 routers can intervene, with Wi-Fi 7.
I like that both Ovia routers reduce bumpy connections in homes, and their modern, minimalist designs.
Remote, hybrid, and business travelers take note! With the Acer Connect M4D 5G Mobile Wi-Fi, you finally get a reliable hotspot that can handle your workload, anywhere. It’s compact and works with laptops, tablets, and smartphones. You can even connect up to 16 devices.
Acer didn’t hold back on displays this year, especially if you live for smooth gameplay. The headline product is the Predator XB273U F6, a competitive gaming monitor that can hit an incredible 1000 Hz at 720p (and 500 Hz at 1440p). It’s built for eSports players who care more about instantaneous response than anything else. Acer also added new QD-OLED and 5K gaming monitors, plus a creator-focused 6K display and an eco-friendly RGB laser projector for big-screen movie nights and gaming.
If you’re working with AI tools all day, Acer’s new Veriton lineup is worth watching. The Veriton RA100 AI Mini Workstation packs AMD Ryzen AI Max+ processors into a compact system. It’s ideal for creators and anyone pushing AI workloads. Acer also launched new Veriton towers and all-in-one PCs powered by Intel Core Ultra chips. They’re geared toward businesses that want secure, AI-accelerated performance without giant footprints.

The popular Aspire line just got the AI treatment, as per CES 2026 Acer announcements. The new Aspire 14 AI and Aspire 16 AI laptops run on Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors and support Windows Copilot+ features right out of the box. You can choose between OLED or non-touch displays. Meanwhile, the designs stay thin, light, and practical with big touchpads and full-flat hinges — very much everyday-use laptops upgraded for the AI era.

Gamers get fresh hardware, too. Acer introduced new Predator Helios Neo and Nitro V models with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-series laptop GPUs. Expect higher frame rates, AI-assisted performance, and premium designs, including an OLED display option on the Helios Neo 16S AI. The Nitro V 16 and slimmer Nitro V 16S AI aim squarely at mobile gamers who want power without carrying a brick.

Acer’s Swift lineup continues its “thin-and-light but powerful” story with new Swift AI models. These laptops feature Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, OLED display options, and upgraded touchpads — including what Acer claims is the world’s largest haptic touchpad on the Swift 16 AI. Even the ultra-light Swift Edge models stay under 1 kg. They still support Copilot+ and Acer’s built-in AI tools.
The Acer Swift Go 16 continues Acer’s lightweight legacy with an OLED display option, powerful new AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series processors, and Copilot+ features baked in for everyday productivity. It’s designed for students and mobile professionals who want a lightweight laptop that still handles creative apps, streaming, and AI-enabled tasks smoothly.
CES 2026 Acer announcements show that the brand is thinking beyond its typical gear. From performance e-scooters to AI-powered PCs and ultra-fast networking gear, these launches are built for how people actually work, game, and move through cities today. I’m curious to see how these products perform once they hit the market.
