At IFA today, Acer announced it’s expanding its Swift AI laptop line with models featuring Intel’s new Lunar Lake chips, Qualcomm’s just-announced eight-core Snapdragon X Plus and AMD’s Ryzen AI 300. And, it claims, each of them can theoretically last over 24 hours playing back video, or over 17 hours in productivity tests.
If you buy them with their IPS panels and 65 watt-hour batteries, Acer claims the new $1,199 Swift 14 AI and $999 Swift 14 Go AI can last:
Intel: 23 hours of web browsing, 29 hours of video playback
AMD: 19 hours of web browsing, 27 hours of video playback
Qualcomm: 19.5 hours of web browsing, 28 hours of video playback
