Acer is expanding its affordable tablet lineup with four new models that prioritize screen quality and portability. The Iconia X16, X14, A16, and A14 bring OLED display options to a price-sensitive segment, giving buyers a chance to see high-contrast visuals without paying premium prices. These devices also introduce a practical workflow feature by allowing the tablet to function as a secondary monitor for other computers.

Four new models split into OLED and IPS tiers with portable monitor functionality

The lineup splits into two distinct tiers based on display technology. The Iconia X16 and X14 models feature OLED panels for deeper blacks and richer colors, while the Iconia A16 and A14 stick to traditional IPS screens. All four tablets share a common internal architecture, running on the MediaTek Helio G80 system-on-chip paired with 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM. This entry-level processor from 2019 handles basic productivity tasks and media consumption, though it is not designed for heavy gaming.

Display sizes vary between the models, but resolution remains consistent across the board. The Iconia X16 offers a large 16-inch 1920×1200 OLED screen, while the X14, A14, and A16 all use 14-inch panels at the same resolution. All screens operate at a standard 60Hz refresh rate and reach a peak brightness of 400 nits. The OLED models differ slightly in color accuracy, with the X14 covering 100% of the DCI-P3 gamut and the X16 covering 95%. Storage can be expanded via a microSD slot that supports cards up to 2TB.

Connectivity options include dual-band WiFi 5 and an 8MP rear camera for scanning documents or video calls. A key feature is the inclusion of two USB-C ports, where the second port supports video input. This configuration allows users to connect the tablet to a laptop or desktop to use it as a portable secondary display. Acer has scheduled the global launch of these tablets for the fourth quarter of 2026, with no specific pricing details released yet.
