Acer’s ProCreator PE0 offers a 6K OLED display with fast 240Hz refresh, competing with Apple’s Pro Display XDR at a likely lower price.

TAIPEI–By the laws of consumer tech, every pedestrian kind of product eventually splinters into greater and greater specialization, servicing every micro-niche that a market researcher can conceive of. Take portable monitors. For the last few years, these handy panels have been gaining popularity, especially with the widespread adoption of DisplayPort over USB-C in modern laptops. Thin USB-C enables elegant, easy connections between laptop and monitor, often also carrying the power required to run the display.But standard 14- and 15-inch, single-display IPS portable monitors look like they’re getting pretty passe nowadays. We met with Acer in Taipei just before the opening of Computex 2025, on the heels of some recent cool innovations in portable displays from the likes of Asus and MSI, the former with its ZenScreen Duo we just tested and the latter with a nifty 23.4-inch productivity panel, the PRO MP242E E10, that we saw at CES 2025. Acer one-upped all that and served up some envelope-pushing responses on a giant platter—er, panel. Or two.Multidisplay Portable Monitors Are Now ‘A Thing’: Acer’s PD243Y E and PD163QTStart with the Acer PD243Y E, first shown at Computex. This twin-panel portable monitor is reminiscent of the ZenScreen Duo, but pumped up in a big way. You get two 1080p displays at a lusty 23.5 inches, stacked one atop the other, with the upper panel held in position by four hinges. Acer notes that you can tilt it through a range from 0 to 310 degrees.(Credit: John Burek)I looked at those hinges with curiosity—four, why?—but in retrospect, opening and closing the panel, it makes perfect sense. Suspending essentially a 24-inch monitor above another 24-inch monitor without a conventional monitor stand or arm, and not have it not wobble, is a non-trivial thing. The hinges are stiff and the redundancy helps. The PD243Y E seemed stable in our brief manipulation of it. You could argue that 1080p at 24 inches is an only marginally acceptable resolution in this day and age. But for basic productivity use, it's actually quite serviceable. Big characters onscreen are a boon when you are trying to keep your eyes tracking quickly from screen to screen, shifting attention between a laptop screen and these two other panels. We are seeing 1440p and even 4K invading more and more screens on laptops, and trying to make out that level of detail on three different displays isn’t always easy or desirable. (Credit: John Burek)Now, of course, calling this a “portable” monitor might be a bit of stretch by the standards of today’s common models. A kickstand on the back of the PD243Y E can also serve as a handle for the device if you need to tote it from room to room, and Acer designed VESA mounting holes on the back if you want to wall- or arm-mount it. If you fold it shut (it closes up, clamshell-laptop-style), you can also carry it under an arm. It’s too big to transport in the same way you might a laptop and its matching-size portable monitor, but it’s fine for around-the-house location shifting.(Credit: John Burek)I could see day traders, work-at-home multitaskers, and knowledge workers pulling info from multiple sources thrilling to a stacked panel set like this. Park it next to a 16-inch or larger laptop, and you have the makings of a very attractive multidisplay workstation that you can fold up and stow away at a moment’s notice. (Kitchen-table workers never had it so good.) Plus, the PD243Y E supports both USB-C and mini-HDMI input, so it’s flexible if one of the things you want to connect doesn’t do DisplayPort over USB-C.Recommended by Our EditorsAcer also showed off another twin-screener much more comparable to the ZenScreen Duo, the PD163QT, a pair of 15.6-inch 1080p panels hinged together in much the same way. Like its bigger kin, the PD163QT stacks two panels on their long edges and can be used in landscape or portrait orientation. It has a handle-shaped kickstand like the model above, and you can fold it shut in the same manner. (Credit: John Burek)This is a "simple" pair of 1080p panels, but the unit does have a headphone jack and will support USB-C or HDMI. And it has built-in speakers if you’re so inclined to use them.If 1080p's not enough, an Acer ProCreator (curious name, that) PE160WU also caught our eye. This is a single 16-inch OLED panel with a WQXGA+ resolution (2,880 by 1,800). It covers 100% of the DCI-P3 gamut, according to Acer, and should exhibit a DeltaE color fidelity reading of less than 2. It also has a tidy peak refresh rate of 120Hz, making it appealing not just to conventional content workers but to gamers and game devs. To be sure, it's not unique; Asus, for one, has had OLED portables for this crowd for some time in its ProArt line. But this category is clearly starting to coalesce.(Credit: John Burek)Getting Your Big-Screen Game On: Acer Nitro PG271KAnother Acer display I spotted indicated another direction that portable, or semi-portable, displays are going. You might call the Nitro PG271K another luggable portable monitor, but it’s a single panel with a higher spec loadout than the usual lightweight productivity displays. Indeed, it reminded me a bit of an all-in-one PC like the HP Envy Move. This big panel enables a household to move a decent-size gaming display from one room to another with little fuss, or to wall-mount it.(Credit: John Burek)Any gaming monitor these days is defined by a greater-than-60Hz refresh rate, and this is a 144Hz panel using the usual IPS tech. (Well, it's technically 72Hz max at 4K; the 144Hz applies only at 1080p.) It's not a top-spec model like some of the arms-race-high 500Hz monsters designed for the esports elite, but a very serviceable panel for everyday play, and then some. To be sure, gaming-oriented portable monitors already exist, but the Nitro PG271K has some special distinctions in addition to being so large: As a luggable model, at 27 inches and with a 4K resolution (3,840 by 2,160), it qualifies as a small TV or everyday gaming monitor (attached a laptop or a desktop) for a dorm room or a child’s bedroom. And you can move it wherever you want to play or watch. It might also serve well as a decent-size display for attaching a game console ad hoc, especially something like a Nintendo Switch, itself meant to be used flexibly in different places at different times. (It’s not just USB-C/DisplayPort but HDMI-capable, as well.)(Credit: John Burek)Acer doesn't have exact US pricing or delivery dates on these three edgy panels. (The early vibe we are getting from Computex 2025, and our few meetings so far, is that tariffs are complicating US pricing this year. Surprise!) But if this upending of the portable-display status quo is any indication, the days of these monitors being defined by panels that simply mimic a companion laptop screen are over.

Acer is announcing a whole slew of new laptops at the Computex 2025 computer show in Taiwan, including the Swift Edge 14 AI that weighs half a pound less than the MacBook Air, and the Predator Triton 14 AI for a mix of both gaming and content creation. There are over a dozen new models from Acer, many using some of the latest chips from Intel, AMD, and Nvidia, and a couple examples running Qualcomm Snapdragon X and Windows on Arm. There are also some new gaming and creator-focused monitors to go with them all. The new laptops stretch across the wide Acer range of notebooks, like the Predator and Nitro lines (gaming), the Swifts (general purpose laptops — not Swifties), and Aspire (the cheapest of the cheap). Like Lenovo, Acer isn’t announcing US pricing or availability for any of its new products just yet — that’s reserved for regions like Europe. Details for the US are expected closer to their eventual release, no doubt thanks to the ongoing back-and-forth with tariffs.The Swift Edge 14 AI is one of Acer’s new laptops I find particularly intriguing. It’s a 14-inch Copilot Plus PC (like all the models Acer brands with “AI” in the name) with Intel’s Lunar Lake chip options, a 2880 x 1800 OLED display, and up to 32GB of RAM / 1TB SSD. It’s also just 0.37- to 0.65-inches thick (from its thinnest to thickest points), and weighs slightly under 2.2 pounds. For comparison, the M4 MacBook Air is 0.44-inches thick from front to back and weighs 2.7 pounds. The Swift Edge is obviously following the Air’s mold, but Acer manages to fit two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A ports, a headphone jack, and even an HDMI 2.1 port in such a small and light chassis. It’s expected to start at €1,599 (about $1,800) in Europe with availability beginning in June.The new Acer Predator Triton 14 AI and its included trackpad stylus. Image: AcerOn the gaming side, Acer made a fairly big deal in my briefing call about the upcoming Predator Triton 14 AI. Unlike thicker gaming laptops that are purely gaming-focused, the Triton seems poised to compete with more portable models like the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14. It weighs around 3.5 pounds and measures just 0.68 inches at its thickest point, so it’s meant to easily go places. It’s got a 14.5-inch 2880 x 1800 120Hz OLED display that should be fit for both games and content creation, as well as a jumbo-sized haptic trackpad that supports an included stylus. Chip-wise, it’s got an Intel Arrow Lake Core Ultra 9 288V processor and a GPU up to Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5070, with compatibility for Nvidia Studio drivers. But it won’t come cheap, with a starting price of €2,999 (about $3,350) when it launches in Europe in July.Other upcoming laptops from Acer include the Aspire 14 AI / 16 AI (each configurable with AMD, Intel, or Qualcomm chips), Swift Go 14 AI and Swift Go 16 AI (the cheaper entries in the thin-and-light Swift line), and the Predator Helios Neo 14 (a lower-cost entry in Acer’s flagship gaming line).1/9The Predator Triton 14 AI is pretty thin and has a bunch of ports. Though, it has a microSD card slot, not full-size SD. Image: AcerFor monitors, Acer has a pair of 27-inch QD-OLEDs, with its flagship Predator X27 X able to hit 240Hz at 4K and the 2560 x 1440 X27U F5 able to hit a very high 500Hz. They’re expected to run €1,099 (about $1,230) and €899 ($1,000), respectively, when they arrive in Q3. There are also lower-cost 32-inch and 34-inch Nitro monitors, and rounding out the non-gamer offerings are a 6K ProCreator PE320QXT and a line of portable monitors.Acer is flooding the zone with new laptops, as it often does. We’ll have to see what US pricing and availability are like as each of them gets closer to release.See More:
