Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC branding is making waves with a stampede of laptops coming from a number of OEMs including Acer. However, Acer isn’t fooling around with their introduction of Copilot+ PCs. Its first Copilot+ PC is part of its Swift lineup. The Acer Swift lineup has always been the company’s flagship for premium thin and light devices. The latest stable of Swift laptops has brought ample performance with the latest and greatest processors and GPUs.
The Swift 14 AI will be available with both the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus. The new ARM64-based systems on a chip (SoCs) will be powering the unique AI features that set the Swift 14 AI apart from its brethren. But before we delve into Copilot features, let’s talk about the specs. The Snapdragon X SoCs will;l be paired with up to 32GB of RAM and 1TB of memory.
It will come with a 14.5-inch WQXGA IPS display with a resolution of 2560×1600 pixels and a 16:10 aspect ratio. The screen comes with TUV Rheinland Eyesafe 2.0 certification and covers 100% of the sRGB gamut. The Swift 14 AI will also be available with a touchscreen option. It will also feature a QHD IR camera with a physical privacy shutter and a triple mic setup. The camera will also support Windows Hello.
The Acer Swift 14 AI will come with a dual speaker setup with DTS X Audio. It will also feature two USB Type-C ports with support for charging and DisplayPort. In addition, there will be two USD 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and an audio combo jack. The laptop will also support WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. A 75Wh battery will power this laptop. Best part? It only weighs 1.36 kg.
Of course, as Microsoft mentioned during its announcement, the hallmark of any Copilot+ PC will be the inclusion of extended Copilot features. The first of which is the inclusion of a dedicated Copilot key. In addition, the laptop will be shipped with a key for Copilot+. This will unlock features like Recall which allows you to search for documents with descriptions or keywords; Cocreator which will allow you to create AI images with Copilot and Auto Super Resolution which automatically upscales graphics and images for the best performance.
