Acer shows off the very first Intel Panther Lake laptop with what's claimed to be the world's biggest haptic touchpad

Acer Swift 16 AI.

Give it up, everyone, for the first laptop based on Intel's portentous Panther Lake CPU, the Acer Swift 16 AI. Acer has been showing off the new portable at the IFA 2025 show despite the fact that the new laptop isn't due to go on sale until early next year.

Panther Lake, of course, is Intel's critical new mobile CPU that will debut the once all-important 18A node. Expected to be branded Intel Core Ultra 300 Series, Panther Lake sports Cougar Cove P-cores and Darkmont E-cores, with the mix rumoured to be four P-cores and 12 E-cores.
