Tech Desk: Acer has just launched its new Swift Neo AI laptop in India, targeting professionals, students, and creators with a blend of powerful Intel Core Ultra H-series processors and an exceptionally lightweight design. Starting at a competitive Rs 67,999, this machine promises to redefine portable computing with its focus on AI capabilities and robust performance.

Weighing merely 1.25kg and just 17.2mm thin, the Acer Swift Neo AI is built for mobility. It packs Intel Core Ultra 5 or Ultra 7 H-series processors, featuring Intel AI Boost for efficient handling of AI workloads. Users can configure it with up to a generous 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM and a swift 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD, ensuring seamless multitasking and rapid data access.

Visuals are sharp on its 14-inch WUXGA IPS display, with an OLED option available for select variants, offering vibrant clarity. Connectivity is comprehensive, including two full-function USB Type-C ports, HDMI, additional USB ports, and Wi-Fi 6. A 1080p webcam, dual speakers, backlit keyboard, and fingerprint reader round out its premium features.

Running Windows 11 Home with Microsoft Copilot, and backed by a 52Wh battery with 65W fast charging, the Swift Neo AI stands out in a crowded market. While it faces competition like the MotoBook 60 Pro, Acer’s offering boasts a higher memory ceiling and a familiar, understated design, making it an excellent choice for those prioritizing portability and long-term usability.
