Acer has announced new additions to its Aspire series with the launch of the Aspire 14 AI and Aspire 16 AI, mainstream laptops designed as dependable all-rounders for everyday computing. Powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, the new models combine smooth performance with premium design, while maintaining accessible pricing. Both laptops feature a flexible 180-degree hinge, allowing users to switch seamlessly between learning, productivity, and daily tasks.
The Acer Aspire 14 AI (A14-I71M) and Aspire 16 AI (A16-I71M) can be configured with up to Intel Core Ultra 7 355 processors, featuring a new mix of performance and efficiency cores alongside upgraded Intel Graphics.

Visuals are equally impressive, with vibrant WUXGA displays in a 16:10 aspect ratio and refresh rates of up to 120 Hz.
Designed with comfort and versatility in mind, the new Aspire AI laptops feature a thin-and-light chassis, large touchpads for effortless navigation, and a full-flat 180-degree hinge that allows the device to lie completely flat, ideal for collaboration and content sharing. The refined designs strike a balance between portability and durability, making them well-suited for mobile students and young professionals.
