Acer refreshes Swift laptops with Panther Lake — claims 'world's largest haptic touchpad' on Swift 16 AI

Acer laptops.

Acer is refreshing its thin Swift laptop lineup at CES 2026, updating to the latest Intel processors and adding OLED screens across the entire lineup.

The flagship, the Acer Swift 16 AI, goes up to Intel's high-end Core Ultra X9 388H, with Intel Arc graphics. Acer claims it has the "world's largest haptic touchpad," measuring 6.91 x 4.32-inch (175.5 X 109.7 mm) in a 16:10 aspect ratio. The touchpad also supports MPP 2.5 stylus input. (This isn't Acer's first laptop with a touchpad to support a stylus. We saw this on the Predator Triton 14 AI.)
