The laptop uses 's Ryzen AI processors to handle everyday tasks and light creative workloads. Both models share 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, which helps keep the system responsive even when multiple applications run at once. The base model carries a Ryzen AI 5 430 chip, while the higher tier upgrades to a Ryzen AI 7 445.

Acer equips both variants with a 120 Hz IPS display that supports smooth scrolling and reduces motion blur during fast-moving content. The battery holds 65 Wh of capacity and delivers up to 21 hours of usage on a single charge under typical mixed-use conditions. Storage starts at 512 GB, which fits standard document workflows and moderate media libraries.

Pricing depends on the processor tier you choose. The entry-level Ryzen AI 5 model costs €1,199 in Europe and £999 in the UK. The upgraded Ryzen AI 7 version sets back buyers €1,299 or £1,099 respectively. Both prices include the standard 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD configuration.

This model continues Acer's focus on power efficiency rather than maximum processing speed, consistent with previous releases in the series. Earlier versions featured comparable 120 Hz displays but provided lower computational capacity for handling multiple tasks simultaneously. The device maintains its existing chassis design while optimizing hardware configuration to achieve extended operational duration on a single charge.

The laptop arrives with a licensed operating system and supports modern wireless standards including Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 for reliable device pairing. No additional third-party applications or security tools are bundled with the device, providing only the standard operating system environment upon startup. Consumers across European markets and the United Kingdom may purchase the device from certified vendors beginning immediately.
